Pleasant· October ~. 1999 ' Vol. 34, No. 34 Gallia County officials prepare.for local head GALLIPOLIS - Citing the importance of an accu· rate count of Galli a County residents in the 2000 census, officials have begun preparations to ensure that all citi· zens are included in the local tally. Committtes are now being formed among townships, !!Chools, religion, . media, COIIlmunity·based organiza· tlons, businesses, special housing and nursing centers to recruit volunteers to assist during the census. The local count will be taken starting in March 2000. "To many people, the census is an invasion of privacy, or they won't take the tinie to fill out the forms that are received from the government in the mail every 10 years because they just don't feel that it is important for them to be count~" said a spokesman for the local census rommittee; cSlUired by Gallipolis Oly Manager ll. V. aarke Jr. The spokeSman added that an accurate count is vital to th~ amount of revenue local government receives. The census determines how much money eKh town· ship, village,rounty or city will get from state and fed- ' \" • Make sure your family can ·escape a fire safely. Follow these simple directions. 1.

Additionally, the census designates how many stale and feder~'legislators are elected, based on tbe popula· lion rount. Oarke and Gallia County Commissioner Skip Mead· ows are ,Jeading the local effort in seeking out volun· leers. Oarke and Meadows, along with County Auditor Lany Betz, have expressed concern that the last census in 1990 failed to rount C\'ery resident of the county and city. A series of meetings that began in May is aimed at a complete count of all residents, the spokesman said. A meeting last week attracted 31 people to the Gallia County Courthouse to initiate discussion on how to increase the questionnaire mail-back response rate through a well-focused, structured neighbor-to-neighbor program. City Commissioner Bob Marchi has been appointed to solicit volunteers fr9m each block in. Gallipolis to obtain information on the addresses and number of peo· pie living at the address. These volunteers will be known as '" block captains" and will have input on enu· merators hired by the federal government to insure an accurate count within the city limits. • Meadows, with assistance from the township trustees, will make recommendations on the hiring of enumerators to work in all of Gallia's 15 townships. Anyone seeking the job as an enumerator, or census taker, will be given a written and oral test, and if hired, will be paid $9·$10 per hour during the official census period. · A testing site will be announced later, and then "help sites" will be announced to assist those who have diffi· culty in filling out.the official census forms. Oarke sai\1 that most residents will receive a short form (less than· 10 questions) while one person in six will get a long form (about 55 questions) the govern· ment asks to be answered. Everyone receiving a census form is 'requested to fill it out completely and return it to the government immediately. coun~- . ''Those people receiving either the long or short forms may rest assured that none of the volunteerS working in the help centers, or none of the local work~ ers involved in the census will see what the individual has written on the form, because they will be immedi· ately sealed and placed in the mail," Qarke said. · Meadows and Betz urged every trustee, clerk, viii.Se mayor and council to become involved in the count.

"Somebody is Slill going to own j 1 the property and have to pa~ taxes on the property.

Kendenmal disagrees, but he said he is glad Ashland has "come to see the appropriateness of the move." Chellgren is concerned about the operation of the company, located across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. Finding a strategic alternative for Arch is part of his plan to move Ashland out of commodity fuels business to devote greater energy to more consistently profitable subsidiaries. Arch provides one- IOth of America's coal supply, and fuel for 6 percent of the nation 's electricity. The spinoff could take months to accomplish: It would require approval of a special committee of Arch Coal's boarii, Arch sharehold· ers, Ashland's board and the Internal Revenue Service. -In the Wal*Mart Vision Center· .

MEARS AP Special Correepondent WASHINfJTON (AP) - So the debate debate begin'i, with Gov: George W, Bush shUMing Republican campaign confrontations until next year while Vice President AI Gore seeks a series every other week against Bill Bradley. Democrals Gore and Bradley are 10 meet in Hanover, N.H., on Oct 27, answering audience questions iri a televised joint forum; not quite debating but close. Five Republican candidates will share tbe same stage the following nigh~ without Bush, who leads the field and is following the front-runner's saipt on debating his rivals. Debate challenges are standard for candidates who are tJying 10 catch up and want to confront the leader on an equal footing. Gore adapted the strategy to his ciraunslances- he still leads Bradley by m.m measures, but the fonner New Jersey senator is catching up in polls and lately in fund raising ancj campaign cash,on hand That led the vice president to overhaul his campaign, and to seek debateslive on the Interne~ he said. Bradley said he'd already agreed to joint appearances, beginning with the New Hampshire forum,.and beyond th~ will stick to his own campaign plan. "I'd like to have debates every two weeks," Go~e said, each on a different i~ue. He's mentioned as topics health can:, education, the environmen~ national defense, crime conlrol- "and the list goes on." On that timetable, the campaign for the Democratic nomination would become one of debates and not much else. There's no !UJC for Bradley in that; he's doing well the standard way. Gore was no4 and while he now speaks of debates as a way to elevate the campaign and enrich demoaacy, he hadn't mentioned debating Bradley until just recently. The Republican debate ugument is along more standard lines. Bush has declined the Oct 28 forum in New Hampshire; ~ said thai "while the debate may be importan~" it conflicts with a ceremony honoring his wife at SoUthern Methodist University. He wasn't going to the debate anyhow. His campaign has ruled out debates for 1999, saying he will wail until 2000, when people are paying altention to the presidential rnce. Bush has accepted an invitation to debate in Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 15, and another in Manchester, N.H., on Jan. 26. "George W. Bush, it's time to debate," said rival Steve Forbes, JCpeating the challenge he has been issuing ever since the Texas governor began his active campaign. Forbes wants a series of live debates including Bush, which he won't get ln'itead, at least five Republican candidates campaigning to catch the ftontrun~K:r wili11JlPC81' without him at the forum 31 Danmouth College. That's not to say they won't be talking about him. When Ronald Reagan skipped a Republi· can debate in Iowa in 1900, the GOP field didn't spare tie leader who wasn't there. Reagan said debating would have been divisive, but after he lost in Iowa, he . intensified his campaign, confronted his rivals in New Rampshi~e debates, and won. '' ' Candidate forums are fixtwes now in the primary campaign states, usually with a big cast of contestants, some competitive for the nomination, some no4 but in for the show. They usually do more to cement impressions than to tum the course of a campaign. But there have been memorable moments, as when Reagan outmaneuvered the elder George Bush before they even began a 1980 debate, by arguing that four uninvited Republicans should be included, too. That cast Reagan as the unifier, although his side had arranged a two-man debate with Bush, who had upset him in Iowa. When the moderator tried to silence Reagan by ordering his microphone turned off, Reagan grabbed it and kept talking, saying he'd paid for it. Bush was left sputtcrins. The two finally debated, but by then, Reagan had wop _ the engagement. . Bush, later vice president and piCSident, describes it as the low point of his 1900 campaign. "I will be the first to admit that I looked like a fool, rigidly playing 1))1 the rules," he writes in his new book, "All the Best, George Bush." As vice piCSiden4 Bush reluctantly joined the candidate forum circuit early, begiMing in the fall of 1987. He was the front-runner, and so the target of five rival candidates, defending the Reagan administration against what he called carping by outsiders. " Loyalty is a strength, not a character flaw," Bush said. That's a line that may echo as Gore tries to debate his way to the Democratic nomination.

Gore targets Bradley's By Chrla Matthew• ~ WASHINGTON ·· AI Gore is now portraying himself as the "real" Democrat in the race to replace Bill Clinton, rival Bill Bradley as the rogue. He reminds us of the old-time, big' city ward politician passing out palm cards bearing the " official" Democratic slate. The vice president's new "positioning" smacks of the consultant. Viewed by most vot· er5 as a captive of the political inside, a nervous Gore is apparently being told to make the best of his captivity. It 's a desperate gambit based on a deeply pessimistic reading of the Democratic voter, also a- deeply• distorted recounting of Bradley's Senate voting record. The gist of new Gore attack is that rival Bradley voted for "Reaganomics" back in 1981. "Reaganomics," for those too · young to know or too old to recall, was the seqllar creed t~at the U.S. government could cut taxes 25 percent, hike defense spending to an all-time high and still balance the books. A check of the Congressional Record shows that a certain freshman senator from New Jersey openly and defiantly rejected that supply-side argument both in vote and word: Unlike his many lemming-like colleagues, who either bought or opposed the Reagan program entirely, young ~ Bradley took the road less traveled. He voted to accept the tough Reagan budget . cuts, then voted to rejec~ the. far more popular Reagan tax-cut plan. In other words, Bradley defended a common sense economic policy being offeted then by neither party, not the gung-ho Reagan supply~iders, not the bitterly opposed Democrats. ,-~ strength~ · "The Secretary of the Treasury says he doesn't even know what the economy will look like six months from now!" Bradley said in response to the Reagan TV appeal for a three-year, three· stage 25-percent federal tax cut.

"It gambles with the only economy we gan's fiscal policy was, after an, not his hike in defense spending or his historic tax cuts, but his_J insistence on doing both simultaneously.

' WOrkefS at four plants walkout as UAW, Ford continue negotiations. By JUSTIN HYDE ers. But there has been no round-the- Auociat~ Pren WrHer DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) While the United Auto Workers and Ford Motor Co. continued negotiating a contract past a midnight strike deadline, workers at four plants walked off the job in an unsanctioned work stoppage. The UAW said it had not called a strike, set a new deadline or allowed 'local unions to strike. But Ford said workers at plants in St. Louis, Claycomo, Mo., Flat Rock, Mich., and St. Paul, Minn., walked off their jobs around the deadline or shortly there· after early Saturday. It was unclear how many workers walked off the job. "We have some other plants where workers walked off and have come back to work/' 5llid Ford spokesman Jim Vella. · Both Ford and ihe UAW have worked long hours this week trying to reach an agreement on a new contract for about 100,000 hourly work- clock bargaining yet, a traditional sign a deal is close. Shortly after midnight, a local union official in St. Louis saichbere was a minute-by-minute extension, but there was no official announce· ment. Larry Senyard, treasurer of Local 325 in St. Louis, said the walkout there was "kind of like a wake-up call to Ford Motor Co." Senyard said the workers were not picketing and would return to work at 6 a.m. Saturday. UAW President Stephen P. Yokich told union members in a taped mes· sage earlier this week that Ford was being "stubborn" about accepting contracts agreed to by General Motors Corp. and DaimlerOtrysler AG. During negotiations in 1993 and 1996, the UAW found Ford's proposal best and si:ttled with it first, setting the pattern for the other two compa· nics. "We will continue to work and· maybe before the company can really make a big mistake, they'll understand that they're not first this lime, but third," Yokich said. The UAW and Ford have enjoyed good relations for about 20 years, avoiding strikes like the one in Flint last year-that shut down much of Gen· eral Motors' production. Ford made $6.6 billion in 1998 thanks partly to bulked-up production at the company's truck and sport utili· ty vehicle plants. The average worker's profit sharing payment was $6,100. But this year, UAW officials have said they were opposed to Ford's plans to spin off or sell its parts_ unit, which employs 23,500 UAW workers. Union leaders have said a spinoff of Vistcon Automotive Systems could cut pay and jobs, even close plants to compete against other parts companies. The four-year contracts negotiated with DaimlerChrysler, GM and GM's former parts operatiODll included promises from ' the compa· nies that they would not spin off, sell or close any division or factory- a clause that could be causing prob- . lems for Ford.

The controversy centered around whether Blue Devil wingback Alex Saunders had fumbled or was slopped outright for no gain. The officials placed the bali at the three, which would have given the Blue Devils a first down. Additionally, GAHS offensive lineman J.T. Spencer-Howell came out ,of the pile with the football, fu~ther· ing the debate. Nevertheless, Logan took the bali and marched 97 yards in nine plays with Joey Conrad covering the final 61 yards on an option to the right side. Conrad lip4oed through a maze of Blue Devils at the line of scrimmage and then benefited from solid dpnwfield blocking to run to the end zone relatively untouched to increase the Chieftains' lead to 28-0. Logan closed out the first half with Bateman scoring his second touchdown of the night oo a oneyard plunge to push the lead to 35-0. Safety Jesse Heneslofel set up the short scoring drive with an intercep· tion return to GAHS one-yard line. Henestofet stepped in front of a Blue Devil receiver at the Logan 30 yard line and raced back to the Blue Devil one. .. Jake Howdyshell scored Logan's only touchdow n of the third quarter on a two-yard run to cap an 11-play, 70-yard drive. Howdyshell 's run gave Logan a 41-0 cushion.

Battle of Ohio may be pretty one-sided Yes, it's the battle of Ohio today ' No, not the Reds~ Indians or Buc keyes~ Bobcats, but the Bengals and Browns renew their rivalry in Cleveland . It's difficult to believe that afler its performance against St. Louis last week that Cincinnati would be favored a1ai_nst any team, but the o~ds m ak~ · crs· make tfiem u three~ po int favorite against Cleveland. In actuality, 1t should he an embarrassment to be only a three~ point favorite agamst an expansion · ' .· team. Rookie Akili Smith will start today at quarterback for the Bengals. If Cincinnati isn't going anywhere , why not gi ve Jeff Blake the entire season to sink or swim? Yes, the team has played abysmally over the past fo ur weeks, but it's not all Blake's fault. I think it's just a little too ear.ly to panic. Everyone knew the win s would not be easy fur Cincinnati , but it's e mbar~ rassi ng and disingenuous to begin the revolving quarterback story in hopes of sav in g Bruce Cos let's job and fan interest. Cos let's job is about over and the fans lost interest on draft day. Over the past two weeks the joke in Cincinnati has been, who would have ever thought the Bengals' season would end before the Reds'? Cleveland, however, is pulling itse lf in a position to be a contender before the Bengals. So the key for Cincinnat i is .for Mike Brown to mov~ the team to Houston and all ow the city to get an ex. pansion fran chise under a new owner. Hats oil to ihc other Cmcmnati team~ I know mmiy of you are upset the Reds lost their one-game playoff against the Mets, but it was a tremendous year for a very voun g team. Man y fans cite th'e seri es in Milwaukee as the one that ruined the Reds' chances for postscasOQ. That's simply not true' Had they won two game s in that se ries, they would have been forced to play a playoff game against Houswn ins tead of New York. If they be at Houston , then they would have played At l :i n ~a. and we all know how the Reds fared against the Braves this season·. The truth is that the Reds would not have made it to the World Series. eve n if they had won the Wild Card or the Central Di vision. It tonk a great deal of character to win the final game of the season against the Brewers. The Reds knew that the Mets had already won and were wait~ ing for them in Cincinnati . As it has been all year. the Reds rose to the occa~ sion and wo n in convincing fashi on. That's the true sigp of a champion . Unfortun ately, there comes an end to late inn ing heroics. Last Monday, the Reds Just ran out of tomorrows. The Wonderful thing about the postseason is that we discover how good ballplayers are on other teams. It's such a pleasure to watch Texas catcher Ivan Rodri guez, Boston pitcher Pedro Martinez and the Yankees outfielder Bernie Willi ams pl ay. I know the Reds fans are not happy about the Mets' second baseman Edgardo Alfonzo, but he's a terrific player. He was probably the best third baseman in the l eagu~ last year. He moved to second this year to make room for Robin Ventura. Hi s home run against Steve Parris and Randy Johnson shoul d not have been a surprise.. He hit 28 round-trippers this season. Boston's Pedro Martinez has put together the best season for a pitcher since Bob Gibson in 1968. The playoffs are a smorgasbord of great players who dQn't often get their due . That' s not the case with Martinez, but look at the Astros pitching staff. They're the only team in baseball with more than one 20-game winner. It 's been· a pleasure to watch the Mets play defense and the Indians offense. The Mets had onl y 57 errors for the entire season. Compare that with the left side of the Rangers' infield ~ Third baseman Todd Zeile and shortstop Royce Clay ton committed 50 errors between them this year. The keys to the playoffs will still be pitching. The best pitchers in both leagues are present in these contests. That also includes the best relief pitch~ ers and closers. It's not by chance that these teams made it to postseason. The onl y excepti on is the Indians ~ They have to bash their way into the World Series. That's a tall order when you look at the pitching staffs of the other three teams. Le t us hope that Scottie Pippen has finall y found temporary happiness in Portl and , but would someone let me know where he'll go next when some· one discovers how diff1cult life is without Michael? If Pippen's worth seven players, what is Tim Duncan's value? How about Kev in Garnett or Shaq' I don't know about you, but I just don't believe Pippe n will bring a championship to the Great Northwest.

Valiant efforts were made by the government boat Iroquois and by tb~ Campbell Coal towboat Fairplay to rescue the J.C. Rawn but to no avaiL for four or five hours the fairp lay lay along side the J.C. Rawn and heavy ropes connected those two boats. Later the Iroquois was hooked onto the grounded vessel. Many lines of rope were snapped in two and no headway was made. As the J.C. Rawn's paddlewheel was turned, the boat just dug itself deeper into the mud. Later that day the Ohio River began to fall . The river level dropped so me four inches in one day. In about one week the river stage fell from 65 feet to 32 feet. The J.C. ,Rhwn, in the t930s. passed Gallipolis almost weekly. The boat was built in 1911 as the H.S. Chamberlin. It became the Weber in later years. In 193 I the boat was bought by Indiana Governor James P. Goodrich and sold to E.V. Rawn of the Ohio River Dred gi ng Co. She was brought to Huntington later in 1931 and renamed the J .C. Rawn . . . Mr. Rawn explained to the Gallipolis Daily Trif:>une the pian for moving the J.C. Rawn from its perch of 1937 and back into the river. "A dike 7 feet high was constructed,all the way around the boat. As soon as the dike was completed around the boat, starting from keel elevation, they .began to dig behind the boat for about 200 feet. "When the parallel dikes behind the boat had -extended 200 feet downstream, a cross dike was built and the area enclosed with the dike was liiied with water. The boat floated down the canal over the deep bottom, and was lowered a distance of? feet ·by breaching the dike at the upper end, and allowing the water to escape." I The boat was allowed to ground again and a second series of dikes was built. The second pool wus made 11,o feet deep when water was · pumped in~o it. Next a floating crane was brought in from the Ohio River. The crane began making a channel from the Ohio River to the second series of dikes. The lower end of dike number 2 was then dug out until the waters running in the canal from the Ohio River met the waters m the dike. The crane helped to move the J.C. Rawn about 130 feet passing areas where the bank of the canal was very unstable. The J.C. Rawn on its own power reached the last 300 feet between that point and the Ohio River. This was not the first time in riverboat history that such a scheme had been carried off. The John Heckmann was stranded on the Missouri River in 1927. The boat's owners built a sand levee around three sides of the boat. She was then floated by a ce ntrifugal pump and sparred to the river' s edge. By the summer of 193'7 the J.C. Rawn was back on the Ohio River pushing barges. The boat came to a tragic end on Dec. 7, 1939 when two of her 3 boilers exploded at Huntington, W.Va. The front end was co mpletely demolished and three lives were This Max Tawney 1937 photo shows the J.C. Rawn towboat after lost.

'Battle. of the Basement Bands' slated for Ariel Theatre, October 23 GALLIPOLIS - It seems almost everyone "knows of a "basement" '-- band - that small group of high school-age musicians who practices weekly, often in somebody' s basement. Gigs can be few and far between and usually in lacklustre settings, but still the dream of step. _ping onto the brightly lit stage of a •legitimate venue never fades . · That dream is about to come true for seven bands from Charleston, W. :va., Huntington. W.Va., Gahanna, :Portsmouth, Rio Grande and Vinton. 'On Oct 23 they' re coming to the ·historic Ariel Theatre, 426 Second Avenue in downtown Gallipolis to enter a competition that starts at I0 a.m. The top three will pocket cash 'prizes and perform that evening in a concert that begins at 8 p.m. emceed by "'Rhino' in the Morning" of I01.5 fM the River. Competitions like this, previously fairly common, apparently occur rarely now. Unaware of the trend, .the Ariel Board, looking for more :programming to do for and with ·youth, recognized the existence of :these bands and in the words of ·board president Dr. Dan Whiteley, " we wanted to .provide qualified bands an upscale setting in which to compete, perform, collaborate, find incentive to improve and endure, and receive the well-deserved applause of their peers and others." The Ariel Board secured an ORB! (Ohio River Border Initiative) ·grant to help fund the venture. Per ORBI rules, at least partial participation by those who live in eities or towns that border both sides of the ·ohio River is a must The Ariel band competition committee requires that the groups include strong representation by high school students, although college students and recent graduates not yet in secondary school can also take part. Judging guidelines include musi. ~ality, creativity, camaraderie, stage presence, wholesomeness , and knowledge of and ability to relate concise backgrounding of music selections and their art. : "Wholesomeness ranks highest," $ays Whiteley. "Dress, lyrics and choreography judged pr,ofane or otherwise in poor taste will result in disqualification." Applicants audilioned by tape. Another ORBI grant guideline required a show of strong outside support. Gene Johnson of Gene Johnson Chevrolet-Oldsmobile secured the necessary funding from car dealers in Gallipolis including, in addition to the Gene Johnson dealership, Smith Buick-Pontiac, Turnpike Ford, Smith GMC Trucks, ~nd Norris Northup Dodge~hrysler-Piymouth .

Hailing from Portsmouth is "Complete Strangers," a vocalist, lead guitarist, bass guitarist and drummer combo who started with . two members in 19%, acquired a third in 1997 and the fourth in 1999. Bass player Sarah Buchauan-Berrigan says the-band' s foremost reason for being together is "lack of other diversions in Portsmouth." Winners or no. each band' s drum set musicians will have the opportunity to participate free in a clinic conducted by Professor of Percussion Dr. Guy Remonko of Ohio University, a · respected percussionist and clinician. Remonko says that "to this day" he continues to have fond and vivid memories of a similar show in which he took part as a young high school musician, adding that he and his peers were in it for more than the chance to be named the "best" and receive a cash prize, "it provided us with an opportunity to perform on a real stage and in a professional setting.

BYRNES . GALLIPOLIS - According to the Ohio Department of Agriculture, plans to compensate Ohio tobacco producers from the National Tobacco Grower Trust are in the final stages of approval. · This compensation for tobacco growers originated from a two-partNation·al Tobacco Settlement, where the tobacco companies settled with the state .governments in Phase I of the settlement, and in Phase II, established a _National Tobacco Grower Trust. The private trustee, Chase Manhattan Bank, will make compensation payments directly to tobacco growers and quota holders by Dec. 31, 1999. Producers need to know Quota owners, producers and tenants who were party to 1998-'s tobacco ·quota and shared. in the risk. of production, are eligible for compensation from the National Tobacco Grower Trust. . In the next three weeks, applications for compensation will be mailed only to individuals who are listed by the USDA as "Farm Operators" of<farms for which there is an associated tobacco quota. Therefore, when applications are released tobacco lessees and tenants who shared in the risk of producing a farm's 1998 quota are expected to initiate communication with thef.inn operators to ensure that they are listed for compensation on the fatl)l 's application. Producers who submit applications can continue to grow tobacco under I the U.S. Tobacco Program. Allocation of the funds Funds will be distributed only on a farm 's 1998 basic quota The purpose of the application is to allocate these basic quota pounds to three eligible parties: quota owners, producers (lessees), and tenants , as defined ~~. the mstructions accompanying the application. }:, Applicants can expect to receive betw~en 22 and 25 cents .P1J' pound for the pounds they claim. Although the application and mstructl(?!\S Will have general gUidelines for distribution of the pounds to the three ehgJ/>ie parties, ' the application offers some flexibility for the numerous, corilpl l,~ crop share ·and leasing agreements . Individuals who .were pany to carryovc;~Jloun~s and effccttvc quota leasmg ale eligible for the If percentage share of tiRl baste quota. Where to get help GALLIPOLIS- An expansion of 1\trnpike of Gallipolis' service center will allow the dealership to better serve customers' need, its owner said. · John Sang added that the expansion is the major component in an upgrade that includes resurfacing of jts display lots, new exterior lightin~ and a refurbishing of its present building. • "We worked a long time to bring this project to where it is today," said Sang. "It's not an easy task to put something like this together, but we are extremely proud of what we will accomplish with this expansion." A 10,000 square foot addition to the current service center at the rear of the Upper River Road business will doubl_e the number of cars the Cleaiership can serve. Sang said the addition will allow Turnpike to per:form service on 'heavy trucks, conouct front end alignment and brake work and other maintenance tasks it's been hampered in doing due to space 'iimitations. "It will allow us to do things we can't do now," he explained. ';.When :the addition is complete, we will have a new, state-of-the-art facility. We're really excited about it, and so are our 4echnicians." Sang said the dealership is putting in new outdoor lighting, and will pave all areas where cars and trucks are displayed. The final phase Will be By BECKY COLLINS : GALLIPOLIS - Suppose heavy snow is forecast for tomorrow. Do you worry that you won't be able to get to work the next morning- and then imagine yourself falling on the sidewalk, breaking a bone, skidding off the road, or even losing you job? Some people are chronically anxious. They not only spend a lot of time worrying, but create elaborateiy destructive scenarios. That is- in the jargon of psychologists - .they !end to "catastrophize," moving quickly from a weather prediction to a job loss or a highway crash. A recent study compared chronic worriers with non-worriers (all college students) by presenting them with a topic for worry- for e~ampie, getting good grades - and invitmg them to imagine what would liappen if they failed. The non-worrier scenarios were simpler. They believed that bad grades could lead to less desirable jobs and less money in the future. The non-worriers didn't . Producers are encouraged to recogni ze that the di stribution of these funds is not administered by the Farm Service Agency (formerly ASCS), nor any other government entity. Therefore, due to the volume of applicatwns diStributed, growers are urged to use the application mstru cuons to complete the application. If additional ass istance is needed to complete applications, growers are encouraged to attend the county informational meetings, which will be publicized at a later date. Producers are encouraged to watch the newspapers and the mail for forthcoming information about the release of the application, and dates and times of the aforementioned assistance meetings. As the coordinator of Ohio's distribution program, the Ohio Department of Agnculturc will release information as soon as it becomes available. At this point, the FSA and Extension offices are only aware of the infonnation that is printed in this article. Ag news A note to tobacco growers - E<tension has taken the lead on assisting tobacco growers with their settlement applicatiOns; however, I am working in Columbus on statewide settlement issues. Therefore, when applications are released, I will not be available on a daily basis to assist growers w1th questions. I do, however, intend to compensate for this by being available on l"eekends at different locations in the county to help growers and quOta holders with their applications. l i.vi II announce the t1mes and locations of my assistance stations in the newspaper before the applications go out, thus my announcement could be as early as next week. There will also be some local volunteers trained to help growers as well. Furthermore, Galli a County, like all other tobacco-producing counties, will also have at least on~ formal educational meeting. Although the FSA will have knowledge of t\le application, they are not prepared to han.dle all of the quota holders and growers in their office, hence the educ·atJonal meetings. This will be a chaotic and frustrating experience for most of us, but please remember that assistance for Gallia County will not be forgotten . Thank you again for your continued pat1ence and understanding. (Jennifer L.
