Treat and prevent
flea infestations
By Alden Waitt, President
Meigs County Humane Society
Yikes 1 Those nasty, flanish, small dark brown or b!ack bugs scurrying over your dog or eat's skin are, indeed, fleas. There may be
only a few, bul, sad ly , they represent only five percent of the total
flea population .
For every one you find on the cat or dog , there are many, many
more . And in warm weather, fleas thrive . The poor animal plagued
by fleas can be see n continually scratching, licking , biting-perhaps
suffcnng hair loss and even open sores. Some animals are htghly
allergic to fleas and they suffer more than others. The franti cally
sc ratching dog is domg he/she can do to battle the biting of these
pests . Now, it"s up. to you.
Many of us ha ve discovered the hard way that you can"t get rid of
fl eas on cats and dogs si mply by buying a Ilea collar. The solutiOn
is a multistep process that must be followed, particularly now that
1he warm weather is upon us. The most common cause of allergic
dermatitis in the cat, and the bane of many infested dog s, fleas carry
tapeworm. among other things, and sap animals of nutnents , making
them very sick indeed .
.
To determine if your pet is under siege, check the lower portion
of
the an im al"s back. the base of the tail , the lower abdomen, and under
the neck . Pan the halls and run your hands over these areas. You
may sec !leas. or ri ca ""dirt,"" "'hat looks like small specks of dirt
scatlc rcd among the ha11s . This is the Ilea's fecal matter. whtch contain~ dried blood. That blood is from your cal or dog.
Adult females deposit their eggs on various places, including the
host- your dog, for example. The eggs and flea feces fall off the
dog onto the carpet. the grass, and the animal"s bedding. The larue
hatch, feed on adult flea feces, molt twice, then pupate tns1de stlk
cocoo ns which protect against treatment. Finally, adult fleas emerge
from cocoons and seek a warm animal host on which to feed and
reproduce . Although the pupae (the resting stage of the flea) account
for only 10 percent of the total Ilea population, they can account for
J 00 percent of the fle a problems after you have initially treated the
~nimal and the house'
So first you treat the animal with shampoo, powder, or spray, followed by a fl ea dip for dogs . Read the label carefully; some of these
product s cannot be used on young, lactating, or pregnant animals.
On the same day, you vacuum the house, sofas, under furniture, concentrating on areas where the animal spends a lot of time, then
immediately di scard the vacuum bag. Also wash floors and the ammal' s bedding (always in hot water). Then spray or fog the house,
Including the dog 's house . And spray the yard .
· Then to keep the fleas away, you can purchases one of the spNon ointments (they are made for cats and for dogs), which are
applied between the dog or cat 's shoulde~blades every. couple of
tnonths . The ointment diffuses along the sk1n's surface, k1lltng fleas
as they bi!e. And now, flea conlrol treatments are also available as a
pill taken once a month . Check out these new products ; lthmk you
will find that they are well worth the money.

American flag program presented to DAR chapter
The American flag and its origin
was the theme of the June Flag Day
program of Return Jonathan Meigs
Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, held at Foster House in
Minersville.
The program was presented by
Pauline Atkins, regent, who noted
that the United States flag . is the
third oldest of the National Standards of the World. It was first
authorized by Congress June 14,
1777. The date is now observed as
Flag Day.
;.Atkins explained the colors as red
is for valor, zeal and fervency, white
for hope, purity, cleanliness of life,
and rectitude of conduct; and blue,
the color of heaven, for reverence to
God, loyalty, sincerity, justice and
truth.
The star symbolizes dominion
and sovereignty, as well as lofty
aspirations, Atkins said. The constellation of the Slill"S within the
union, one star for each state, is
emblematic of our l'ederal Constitution, which rese.-.&lt;s to the Stales
their individual sovereignty except
as to riilts delegated by them to the
Federa~ovemment, she explained.
Atkins said that no one knows

with absolute certainty who
designed the first stars and stripes or
who made it. However. she said that
Congressman Francis Hopkinson
seems most likely to have designed
it and historians believe that Betsy
Ross, a Philadelphia Seamslre&lt;s
made the first one.
Atkins stated that on June 14,
1777. in order to establish an official
nag for the new nation, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag
Act: "Resolved, that the nag of the
United States be made of thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the union of thirteen stars, white in a
blue field, representing a new Constellation." Later, ~y executive order
of President Eisenhower, dated
August 21, 1959, provided for the
arrangement of the stars in nine
rows of stars staggered horizon tally
and eleven rows of stars staggered
vertically.
In 1813, Atkins continued, Major

Fort McHenry, asked for a flag so

Three emergency resolul .ns were
appro•ed when Pomeroy \Village
Council mel in regular session on
Monday evening.
All three required readings were .
held of a resolution which declared a
ponion of Spring Avenue a disaster
site due to a land slide there. The
local declaration will allow village
administrator John Anderson to apply
for emergency grant funding to repair
the slip, which has caused utility outages and road damage.
The required readings were also
held on a resolution authorizing the
transfer of $40,000 from the village
general fund to the street fund for the
purpose of covering a deficit balance
in the fund. According to Clerk
Kathy Hysell, the village generully
appropriates approximately $100,000
into the fund, and has so far appropriated $80,000 including last night's
transfer.
Finally, council held three readings on a resolution authorizing
membership in the Great Lakes Rural Community Assistance Program, a
non-profit agency which can help the
village pursue grant funding through
USDA/Rural Development for a
waterline extension in the Naylor's
Run and Pleasant Ridge areas.
According to Council John Muss-

er. the membership comes at no cost
to the village, and the agency will
pursue grant funding for the project
which, if funded, would provide
water service to 31 new homes in the
Naylor's Run and Plea&lt;ant Ridge
..-e.as.
Musser announced that the village
had received a $350,000 gr~nl from
the Ohio Public Works Commission
for the replacement and installation of
sewer lines in Western Pomeroy -that anea from Monkey Run to the
Middleport corporation limit.
Completion of the project is essential for the village, in that the EPA has
set a deadline for the village to complete the sewer system to the area.
and can levy fines against the village
if the system is not completed.
Council authorized the payment of
$2,000 for mowing the Ohio River
bank in July and September from the
Pomeroy levee to the area near
Kroger. Nitz cut the brush and weeds
on the bank last fall. and has advised
council that the cost of mowing the
bank will decrease to $8SO per job if
the village agrees to have the grass
cut three times next year, for a total
COS! Of $2,550.
Musser commended Harry Leffle
of Can-Do Maintenance for removing and storing the period light fixtures and park benches in the parking
lol during last week's flooding.

Musser also noted that S:u-ah Fish- .
er had a.;.•isted in cleaning up the area
and replanting flowers and that Kenny Wiggins&lt;of Meigs County Liller
Control and Recycling had removed
tra•h receptacles from downtown.
Musser noted that loitering and
vandalism in the area of the parking
lot stage were becoming increasing
problems. Police Chief Jeff Miller
said that the police department had a
policy of regularly patrolling the
area.
Mayor Frank. Vaughan said that a_
regular walking patrol should be
made of the downtown area in the
evenings to discourage vandalism
and other problems.
Councilman Scott Dillon noted
that potholes were in need of repair.
Clerk Kathy Hysell gave her
monthly statement of village

Keep Ohio's teacher unions !ieparate
By JOHN NOLAN
Aesoc:lated Prese Writer
Ohio's two major teachers unions
ane better off remaining s(parate
because they have markedly different
positions on major issues, the president of the Ohio Federation of Teachers said.
Ron Marec said Monday that his
union, which has approximately
20,000 members, was at odds with
the I00,000-member Ohio Education
Association on key issues, so he
thinks a merger of the two wouldn 't..
have worked.
"The overwhelming sentiment
that has been expressed in.our council meetings was in opposition to a
merger. So it's no sweat off our
backs," Marec said in a telephone
interview.
On Sunday in New Orleans, delegates representing the 2.4 million

members of the National Education
Association rejected a merger with
the 950,000-member American Federation of Teachers. A two-thirds •ote
of the 9,715 delegates wa• needed,
but the proposal was rejected by 58
percent of those who voted.
The OEA said it was pleased that
the national parents of both unions
put aside longtime rivalries to at lea."
discuss and consider a merger. Supporters of a me!Jlersaid it would create a powerful union to speak with
one voic'e on education issues .
How Ohio parents would react to
that isn"t clear, the leader of one Ohio
teachers association said Monday.
" Parents. when you use the word
'union,' tend to bristle a lillie bit. I
don't look
. at it that way. Our main
purpose os the beuerrnem of education in the Van Wert city schools.""
said Rita Hurless, a teacher for 29

.

years. who is president of the Van
Wen City Education Association .
The union switched its affiliation
from the OEA to the OFT about a
decade ago .
Marec cited these differences
between the OEA and the OFT:
-The OEA supported a proposed
1-cent increase in the state sales Ia&lt;.
_wi th half the money to go toward
helping Ohio's public schools. The
OFT opposed the increase. whoch
•oters rejected May 5.
- Tho OEA is supporting Gov.
George Voinovich in his campaign
for the U.S. Senate, while the OFT
isn"t backing Voinovich because Jl,
has differences with the governor s
stands on some education issues.

The OEA said it is pleased that the
unions have at least seriously con-

sidered a merger.

Flood victims advised
on emotional stability
By BRIAN J. REED
Sentinel News Staff
Victims of recent flooding have
suffered considerable losses -homes, automobiles, clothing, and
momentos that can never be replaced.
However, the emotional stres.~ associated with a natural disaster can be
most traumatic to families who have
endured such a disa•ter.
A part of the disaster relief process
is helping victims of Hooding cope
with the emotional stress and depression that often accompany a significant loss of property.
The disruption and dislocation of
the home life is difficult for everyone
involved and causes several common
reactions. according to the American
Red Cross, which distributes informational material about emotional
wellbeing and Offen refemls to

mental health experts to victims of
natural disasters.
Victims often have recurrirlg
dreams or nightmares about the
floods, and reconstruct the event,
often in an effort to construct a different outcome. Common reactions
also include trouble concentrating
and remembering things, questions
about one's spiritual and religious
beliefs, and repeated thoughts and
memories about the tlood that are
hard to stop.
Feeling fear and anxiety when
hearing sirens and heavy ruinfall.
depinsion, anger and irritability and
hopelessness, as well a~ difficulty in

COlUMBUS- A disaster tike the rocent flooding in southern and central Ohio
puts a machine of many parts into motion.
The Ohio Enoetgency ManagemeN Agency draws on the expertise of thousands
of stale walcers from dozens of agencies when a aisis hits.
Eleven Ohioans died in last wtek's stoons, some of which spawned tanadloes, as
several inches of rain fell on the mostly nnl. hilly area». Gov. George Voinovich
declared emergencies in 25 Ohio counties and asked President Ointon to declare them
disaster areas.
Even before the stonnS ended, the Ohio EMA went to work. Once a county determines it can't handle an enageta.y, it asks the stale for help, said Mike Dawson,
\binovich 's press secretary and his liaison with the EMA
The EMA has a staff of about 80 employees. but workm fran ils JXRD1, the
[)qa1menl of Public Safety, and agencies such as the Ohio Dtpoata~ rL Transportation and the Ohio Nalional aw.d also play key roles. said Leo Skinner, a public
_safety spokesman who works full time for the EMA when a stale crr... geucy oc.:~n.
"OPOT has I,(XXlpcople in the field, the Nalional Glad, 433, and we have about
J9 other stale agmcies involved," Skinner said
. The agmcies do everything from removing debris to makiJoB sure the injlmf .c
trealed to repairing damaged roads and lxidges. The EMA also coordinalcs ils activities with the Federal Err.agetocy Management Agency when the pWdert declares a
disaster.
Skinner's job is to make sure the information geaing out is acanle.
"We do everything. CU job is to get information out not only to the media, but to
•.he counties thal are effected," Skinner said. "We follow up on any I\IJtiOn. We'D call
the foeld to see if they'.e true."
fmployees typically work in shifts of about 10 00.... and remain with the EMA
as long as they 111: needed, Skinner said.
The COSi of the eme!J!CRCY wak ~ be determined Wtlil the wak is done, but
oflkials believe it wiD exceed the $40 million the state spent cleaning up last year's
floods. Dawsoo said
The wako-s not only must deal with the physical damage, but also help ease the
emotional toll a di581ter inflicts on its victims.
"In the same way people in the corrununitics come together during a crisis, the
same is uue of Slate employees," Dawson said.

Letters to the editor
Responds to remarks
Dear Editor:
This is in regard to David Spencer's remarks in the June 30 edition.
He stated thai since nobody showed up to attend Monday's hearing. it was
further evidence of public support of the $5 permissive tax .
Mr. Spencer. where have you been., Do you realize that just about everybody was affected by this weekend's flood'! A life was lost and there was
severe damage. You obviously thought that this meeting was more important
than helping your community.
I'm sure that the meeting could have been canceled, but I guess that you
wanted to beat the deadline, didn't you? 11le fact is that' no one showed up
for your meeting because the community was bus~ cleaning up. Obvioosly,
you weren't affected. I wonder how many people could afford $5 now. since
they have lost so much.
Funhermore, you apparently don't know what it is like to miss work
because of inclement weather, sickness, and other problems that keep one
from receiving a five-day paycheck. We all don't have a job with the county.

Are muni-bond funds right for you?
By Dian Vufc.vlch
Now that you've made )OUr fortune in the market, why not keep that
cash working for you aod move into
muni-bond funds'
It's no secret -- tax-free municipal
bond investing is not for everyone.
But if you find you are in tax brackets of 28 percent or higher, chances
are muni-bond fund s might provide
you with more income than. say, ....
able bonds cciuld.
For instance. a tax-free municipal
bond yielding 4.5 percent is equivalent to a taxable yield of 6.25 percent
for someone in the 28 percent tax
bracket. For an investor in the 39.6
percent federal income-tax bracket,
the muni deal is even sweeter -- the
equivalent taxable yield is 7.45 percent.
"I've seen a lot of shareholders
who have done really well in the
stock market say to themselves, 'Gee,
I' ve won the game, reached my
p s. taken all the risks and. now I
can have a pretty nice income by
investing in fixed income,'" says

Selig stands as sole candidate as baseball commissioner

DENVER (AP) - Baseball's new
leader is its old leader. As far a.~ owners are c.;ncemed. this Bud's for

Brewers owner Bud Selig will be the

: The rest is history."

· Hls&lt;ietractors say he's indecisive.
· His supporters say he's not impul: sive .

Having watched Bowie Kuhn.
: Peter Ueberroth and Fay Vincent
:enrage owners with controversial
actions, and A. Banlen Giamatti

become bogged down with Pete
Rose, Selig decided the best decisions
are often no decisions. He preferred
to wait for a consensus to develop.
SOmttimes, that meant problems festered and opportunities were lost.
"I don't accept that criticism," he
said. "When you look back at the last
five years. it's been the most active
five years in baseball history."
Going into Thursday 's meeting in
Chicago. he was still avoiding direct
questions regarding why he changed
his mind about the job. It's clear,
though. why owners want him .
Baseball. a most conservative
spon. has been tmnsformed from
one-man rule to an owner-friendly
consensus government during Selig's
reign a.' chairman of the IO-man
executive council. This group seized
power following Vincent's forced resignation on Sept. 7. 1992, and
installed Selig two days later.
Some of the highlights:
-For the first time since professional major leagues began in 1871,

the sport adopted regular-season
interleague play, which began last
year.
- Each league split into three
divisions. wild-card teams were
added to the postseason and an extra
round of playoffs began in 1995.
-Selig's Brewers began the first
major league team this century to
switch leagues, moving to the NL this
season.
- After years of contentious
debate, large-market teams agreed to
share a higher percentage of their
local revenue with the small markets.
Some of the Jowlights:
-A catastrophic 230-day strike
by players that wiped out the final
669 games of the 1994 season led to
the first cancellation of the World
Series in 90 years and shortened the
'95 season by 252 games.
-A 20 percent drop in attendance
from 31,612 per game in 1994 to
25.260 in 1995. The avernge this year
probably will be around 28,750, still
9 percent blew its prestrike level.
-An operating loss of more than
$850 million from 1994-96.
Given those negatives. why Selig?
Because he listens, often spending
12
hours a day talking to owners on

And because there are no stlrprisGte,.nen Hrlt woo &lt;loomed o' w""'' by rh, es with him. By the time he takes

action. every owner knows what he's
going to do and an overwhelming
majority backs him. If there's more
than tol\en opposition. he wai:s.
"These issues are contentious." he
said. "The stakes today are clearly
higher than they've ever been. You're
better off trying to develop an understanding in people, so when you get
to a meeting. they understand, the
issue. I understand it when people say
it takes too long- I' m an impatient
person myself. But times arc different. People have a lot at stake. For
people to think you can come in and
arbitrarily make a decision - you
can't."
Selig. who turns 68 later this
month, received most of his business
training in his family's auto leasing
service. A minority ownerofthe Milwaukee Braves, he led ·a group that
bought the Seattle Pilot' in· bankruptcy courtjust before the 1970season '\nd moved them to Milwaukee,
where they became the Brewers.

CLEVELAND (AP) - The
Cleveland Indians have improved on
their mid-IICa.wn record in 1997.
when they went to the World Series
for a second time in three years.
At the All-Star game break, the
Indians are 50-35, six wins bener
than their mid-season 1997 record.
The team's top talent will be on
display tonight at the All-Star game
in Denver: the Indians will be represented by Jim Thome, Manny
Ramirez. Sandy Alomar Jr., Omar

Social Security- three legged financial stool
BY ED PETERSON
District Manager, Athens
Social Security Office
Since its inception Social Security has always been referred to as one
part of a "three legged financial
stool" .
One leg is Social Security, another is pension income. and the third is
personal savings and investments.
Retirement benefit amounts are
based on the level of earnings you
had during your working life and
replace a percentage of those earnings. For workers retiring at the
"nonnal retirement age" the benefits
replace about 60 percent of the preretirement income for low income
workers , 42 percent for average
income workers and 26 percent for
high income workers.
Most financial analysts say that
about 70% of pre-retirement income
is needed 10 live comfortably. In
order to help the worker increase
his/her income after retirement,
most employers offer their employees some type of pension plan 10
help them gel ready for the future .
For instance, for federal employees
we have the Thrift Savings Plan
(TSP) which offers the same type of
savings and lax benefits that many
private employers offer their
employees under 401(k) plans. Your

By Phillip Alder
Look allhc North hand. Your panncr opens one diamond, you respond
two clubs. and panner rebids two diamond~. What would you do now, tf
anything?
_
In my opinion, North should rebtd
three clubs. showtng a minimum twoover-one response with al least six
clubs. The opener, with some club fit
and prime cards, should either take a
shot at three no-trump or bid three
spades, asking North to go three notrump with a hean stopper.
Yes, North might rebid two heans,
but as most pa1rs play ihat as gameforcing, it is an overbid. Yet it is light
years better than the original question-setter's recommendation. He
told his readers that North should
pass. He clatmed lhat because South
had shown a minimum opening and
there was a potential misfit, "it must
be assumed that there is no game."
There are two key points. First, I feel
strongly lhat a two-over-one response
guarantees a rebid. So, North is not
allowed to pass over two diamond~.
If you don't wish to rebtd, respond
one no-trump. not two something.
Secondly, when you have a
respeclable long minor, think three
no-trump. Here, that contract is still
feasible.
Suppose South is in three notrump West Will surely lead the
spade three. establishtng South's king
a~ his ninth tnck (given the 3-2 club
split. whtch will happen 67.8 percent
of the ttme). Lucky? No ·• but let
West lead a heart. (Yes. I know I've
given South the 10 ·· enough
already!) Ea't wins with the queen.
1hen switches to a diamond. Soulh
can win with 1he ace, run the clubs,
and play a spade toward his king for
nine tricks.

Roy Rogers' life celebrated by family and friends as great humanitarian
By MICHAEL FLEEMAN
AI' Entel1llillment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - With a
final deep sigh, beloved singing
cowboy Roy Rogers died quietly at
his home, leaving behind a legacy of
songs and movies from the golden
era of Hollywood Westerns. He was
86.
"Well, Lord, it's been a rough
ride," Rogers told his nurse at 2 a.m.
Monday.

white hat died about two hours later,

said.
"We as a family want everybody
to celebrate his life because he's got

and he and Trigger and Bullet are

said.
Dale Evans, Rogers' wife and
singing panner for a half-century,
was at home at the time of his death.
"What a blessmg to have shared my
life together with him for almost 51

Co-operative Parish back into flood relief effort
The Meigs Co-Operative Parish is .
geared up to once again as~ist those
who have been adversely effected by
the recent flash flooding in the castem part of Meigs County.
The Board of Directors, which
consists of Rev. Keith Rader, Rev.
Bill Hoback, the Rev. Bob Robi ~'IOn
and lhc Rev. Walter Heinz. met Tuesday to a.~ss the ovenll situation that
exists as a result of the recent Oooding and to begin the processing of
applications for assistance.

The flooding has been so devastating that the assistance needed
includes replacement and/or repair of
homes, mobile homes, and appliances, explained the commiuee.
The commiuee members said that
people are aware that FEMA and Other federal and state agencies as well
as the Red Cross are assisting in the
flood relief effort. There are times,
however, when because of guidelines·
and limitations on resources that
individuals and families fall through

the cracks.
"This is when the Co-Operative
Parish steps in and endeavors to provide badly needed assistance," said
the Rev. Fr. Heinz.
He explained that the board and all
those who assist in this effon serve as
volunteers so every dollar given to
thi~ elTon goes to assist the flood victim5 themselves.

already provided 220 cleaning kiL•.
