withdrew his petition as a

mayor and said Thursday he
will file. instead. as an inde-
pendent candidate before
the May I filing deadline.
No partisan candidates

Shawn A. Rice filed as an
independent candidate.

re-election, as did <:ouncil
members Ruth Spaun and
Shawn Amott. Victor Young
Ill withdrew his petition as
a Republican candidate for
Pomeroy mayor and said he,
too, plans to file as an independent candidate, instead.
Young and Wehrung said
they withdrew their peti tions after learning a contested primary race would
cost their respective villages
between $3,000 and $4.000.
Young said he also feels it
will be better to give voters
a choice of candidates in the
ge neral election.
Villages, townships and
school boards are assessed
the cost of elections held in
odd-numbered
years.
Although the political subdivisions will still be
responsible for election
costs in November, those
costs will be divided
among all 27 precincts in
the county and the political
subdivisions
in
each
precinct with races and
issues on the ballm.
Jane Frymyer. deputy
director of the Meigs
County Board of Elections.
said the cost of the
November general election
will run approximately
$27,000. That cost will be
divided among the voting
precincts, and then 'among
the political subdivisions in
that precinct based on the
costs of running the elec-
tions there, and deducted
from the real estate tax settlements paid to them.
A 3-mill levy for operating expenses proposed b>:
Middleport Village Counctl
will also appear on the
November ballot , rather
than in May. The levy was
withdrawn by Middleport
Councilman
Ferman
Moore. acting on behalf of
Fiscal Officer Susan Baker,
in order to save the costs of
the
primary
election,
according to Frymyer.
Petitions will be certified

Dear Annie: There are
quite a few children on our
block , rang in~ in age from 5
to II. The k1ds are always
outside playing. The problem is one little girl I' ll call
"Betsy." Betsy i~ pushy and
always invites her,elf int o
the group. Most of the kids
don't like to play with her.
On weekend>, a; a family.
we like tn go outside and
play with just our children.
But as soon as Betsy hears
us, she comes running over
and won't take "no" for an
answer. I can' t tell vou the
number of times we've had
to go inside just to ge t away
from her.
The real problem is
Betsy's mother. If the kids
say they can' t play or don ' t
want to include Betsy, her
mother comes ouhide and
makes the other kids feel
guilty until they let Betsy
in. The mom also allows
Betsy to phone people multiple times within an hour
and go to their homes over
and over to sec when the
kids can play.
Many of us are bewi Ide red
and don't know what to do.
We have told our children
not to be mean or rude, but I
don 't think it 's fair that they
should be forced to play
with Betsy just because she
lives on our street. Any suggestions other than movin~ 0

Dear Annie: There are
quite a few children on our
block , rang in~ in age from 5
to II. The k1ds are always
outside playing. The problem is one little girl I' ll call
"Betsy." Betsy i~ pushy and
always invites her,elf int o
the group. Most of the kids
don't like to play with her.
On weekend>, a; a family.
we like tn go outside and
play with just our children.
But as soon as Betsy hears
us, she comes running over
and won't take "no" for an
answer. I can' t tell vou the
number of times we've had
to go inside just to ge t away
from her.
The real problem is
Betsy's mother. If the kids
say they can' t play or don ' t
want to include Betsy, her
mother comes ouhide and
makes the other kids feel
guilty until they let Betsy
in. The mom also allows
Betsy to phone people multiple times within an hour
and go to their homes over
and over to sec when the
kids can play.
Many of us are bewi Ide red
and don't know what to do.
We have told our children
not to be mean or rude, but I
don 't think it 's fair that they
should be forced to play
with Betsy just because she
lives on our street. Any suggestions other than movin~ 0

DisrespectingJessica
The national media won't
tell yuu, but in Miami right
now, a man named John
Couey is on trial for brutally killing a 9-year-old girl
named Jessica Lunsford.
Couey, a convicted sex
offender, kidnapped Jessica
out of her modest Florida
home, brought her to a trailer. sexually abused her. and
then buried her alive. When
authorities found her body.
she was clutching a stuffed
dolphin.
Because of that h.:inou'
act , the state of Floriua
passed "Jessica's Ltw:·
which mandates that a tirst ·
time conviction for klony
sexual battery on a child
· will result in a 25 years-tolife prison sentence. No
plea bargain, no parole. no
nutty judge dispensing
light punishment. You do it
once - you're gone.
In the past three years, 41
out of 50 states have passed
a version of Jessica's Law,
but there is . still powerful
opposition to it. Many trial
lawyers object because
they want the ability to plea
bargain. Some judges dissent because their egos are
bruised. They are taken out
Bill
O'Reilly
of the equation after a child
predator is convicted. And
many in the left -wing
media object to Je"ica ·,
Law on the gro unds that ll
is nud anu unusual punishment; the>oe people want
rehabilitation for violent
sexual ''tlo:nders wh" brutalize childro:n.
LL·t\ deal with the rehab
situ<~ti"n first. In our system ,,r justice. the punishment must fit the crime. If
ynu rape m sexually brutalize a child. that child will
nevo:r fully recover. For the
rest of that person's life. the
crime will be played out in
a variety of ways. Thus. the
punishment must be the
forfeiture of freedom for
much of the abuser's life.
That\ punis,hment fining
the crime .
The defense lawyers sim-
ply should be ashamed .
Crime' again't children are
the worst crim~ s. There's
no way lawyers 'hould be
bartering the sutfering of
kid,. Again. sm:iety has no
obligation to rehab or to be
lenierll with sexual predators, especially when they
brutalize children.
In the case of Jessica

police he did it. He wrote
me a letter stating that he
hau help in brutalizing the
.:hild. Yet his three "'roommates" were never charged
hy a cowaruly distric·t auorncv named Brad King. And
a j'udge threw out Couey\
confes,ion because of a
Miranda violation.
l have no doubt the
despicable Couey will be
convicted in the Miami
courtroom. But you won't
hear much about it from the
New York Time> or the
Washington Post or the St.
Louis
Post-Dispatch.
That's because these papers
continue to look away from
the horror of child sexual
abuse. It doesn't fit into
their "'restorative justice"
philosophy, where the
criminal as well as the vic-
tim must be "healed."
Finally, cowardly politicians in 'tales like Vem10nt,
Massachusens.
and
Colorado, among others.
have succeeded in blocking
Jessica's Law. In the
Colorado legi,lature, all six
Democrat;, in the House
Judiciary Commillee voted
against allowing Jessica's
Law to come to the tloor for
a full vote. The same six
Democrats voted against
forcin g sexual offenders to
regi,ter @)ine so that people wottld know who is
addressing them on the
Internet. The names of the
Democrats Ln Colorado
who voted against protecting children are Terrance
Carroll. Mike Cerbo, Andy
Kerr, Rosemary Marshall,
Claire Levy, anu Morgan
Carroll. These individuals
are misguided and their
actions will lead to more
children being brutalized.
Americans of all political
persllasions must rise up
and demand that their representatives protect the
children. No plea bargaining on this one. You vote
agai nst Jessi ca's Law,
you ' re hurting the kids.

BLAIR.

PARIS Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas
ended his European tour
Saturday without persuadinjl any country to end crippling economic sanctions
based on his power-sharing
deal with the rival Islamic
militant Hamas.
The bright spot in his trip
was a promise Saturday
from
French
Foreign
Minister Philippe DousteBlazy to work with a government that includes
Hamas and Abbas' more
moderate Fatah party. His
comments were more positive than those of other
European leaders during
Abbas' four-country tour.
But Douste-Biazy made no
commitments on resuming
aid frozen since Hamas
won parliamentary elections a year ago.
Europe's governments
remained firm : Any new
Palestinian
government
must recognize Israel's right
to exist before direct international aid can resume.
''I encoura~ed Mr. Abbas
to persevere m his efforts to
qu1ckly form a national
unity government," DousteBlazy told reporters.
.
If the government ts
formed according to the
power-sharing deal worked
out in the Islamic holy city
of Mecca last t!JOnth.
"France will be ready to
cooperate with it," DousteBiazy said. "And our country will plead on its behalf
within the European Union
and with other partners in the
international community."
Abbas. who also traveled
to Britain. Germany and
Belgium. welcomed the
pledge from Fram;e. But tt

those demands.

Wendy's to close restaurant

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
COLUMBUS - Wendy's

Friday it will reluctantly
close the downtown restaurant where the nation's
third-largest
hamburger
chain began in 1969
because of sagging sales.
The iconic restaurant ,
which is tilled with memorabilia and photographs of
late Wendy's founder Dave
Thomas, will close its doors
at the end of business March
2, company spokesmaJt
Denny Lynch said.
"This is a very difticult
decision. but the truth is
we kept it open for sentimental reasons much
longer than we should
have," Lynch said.

Lynch said.
The restaurant has no
Jrive-thru window. has limited parking and soon will
require substantial building

The location has lost money
for years. and the company
can no longer justify keeping it open, he said.
No sales figures were
released.
Thomas knew before he
died that his tirst restaurant
was struggling financially,
Lynch said.
"I guarantee he would
support this decision,"
Lynch said. "He recognized
that a company needs to be
profitable."
Employees at the restaurant will be offered jobs at
other locations, Lynch said.
The company hasn't decid~

DisrespectingJessica
The national media won't
tell yuu, but in Miami right
now, a man named John
Couey is on trial for brutally killing a 9-year-old girl
named Jessica Lunsford.
Couey, a convicted sex
offender, kidnapped Jessica
out of her modest Florida
home, brought her to a trailer. sexually abused her. and
then buried her alive. When
authorities found her body.
she was clutching a stuffed
dolphin.
Because of that h.:inou'
act , the state of Floriua
passed "Jessica's Ltw:·
which mandates that a tirst ·
time conviction for klony
sexual battery on a child
· will result in a 25 years-tolife prison sentence. No
plea bargain, no parole. no
nutty judge dispensing
light punishment. You do it
once - you're gone.
In the past three years, 41
out of 50 states have passed
a version of Jessica's Law,
but there is . still powerful
opposition to it. Many trial
lawyers object because
they want the ability to plea
bargain. Some judges dissent because their egos are
bruised. They are taken out

of the equation after a child
predator is convicted. And
many in the left -wing

situ<~ti"n first. In our system ,,r justice. the punishment must fit the crime. If
ynu rape m sexually brutalize a child. that child will
nevo:r fully recover. For the
rest of that person's life. the
crime will be played out in
a variety of ways. Thus. the
punishment must be the
forfeiture of freedom for
much of the abuser's life.
That\ punis,hment fining
the crime .
The defense lawyers sim-
ply should be ashamed .
Crime' again't children are
the worst crim~ s. There's
no way lawyers 'hould be
bartering the sutfering of
kid,. Again. sm:iety has no
obligation to rehab or to be
lenierll with sexual predators, especially when they
brutalize children.
In the case of Jessica
Lunsford. John Couey tnlu
police he did it. He wrote
me a letter stating that he
hau help in brutalizing the
.:hild. Yet his three "'roommates" were never charged
hy a cowaruly distric·t auorncv named Brad King. And
a j'udge threw out Couey\
confes,ion because of a
Miranda violation.
l have no doubt the
despicable Couey will be
convicted in the Miami
courtroom. But you won't
hear much about it from the
New York Time> or the
Washington Post or the St.
Louis
Post-Dispatch.
That's because these papers
continue to look away from
the horror of child sexual
abuse. It doesn't fit into
their "'restorative justice"
philosophy, where the
criminal as well as the vic-
tim must be "healed."
Finally, cowardly politicians in 'tales like Vem10nt,
Massachusens.
and
Colorado, among others.
have succeeded in blocking
Jessica's Law. In the
Colorado legi,lature, all six
Democrat;, in the House
Judiciary Commillee voted
against allowing Jessica's
Law to come to the tloor for
a full vote. The same six
Democrats voted against
forcin g sexual offenders to
regi,ter @)ine so that people wottld know who is
addressing them on the
Internet. The names of the
Democrats Ln Colorado
who voted against protecting children are Terrance
Carroll. Mike Cerbo, Andy
Kerr, Rosemary Marshall,
Claire Levy, anu Morgan
Carroll. These individuals
are misguided and their
actions will lead to more
children being brutalized.
Americans of all political
persllasions must rise up
and demand that their representatives protect the
children. No plea bargaining on this one. You vote
agai nst Jessi ca's Law,
you ' re hurting the kids.
FOR
BLAIR.

PARIS Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas
ended his European tour
Saturday without persuadinjl any country to end crippling economic sanctions
based on his power-sharing
deal with the rival Islamic
militant Hamas.
The bright spot in his trip
was a promise Saturday
from
French
Foreign
Minister Philippe DousteBlazy to work with a government that includes
Hamas and Abbas' more
moderate Fatah party. His
comments were more positive than those of other
European leaders during
Abbas' four-country tour.
But Douste-Biazy made no
commitments on resuming
aid frozen since Hamas
won parliamentary elections a year ago.
Europe's governments
remained firm : Any new
Palestinian
government
must recognize Israel's right
to exist before direct international aid can resume.
''I encoura~ed Mr. Abbas
to persevere m his efforts to
qu1ckly form a national
unity government," DousteBlazy told reporters.
.
If the government ts
formed according to the
power-sharing deal worked
out in the Islamic holy city
of Mecca last t!JOnth.
"France will be ready to
cooperate with it," DousteBiazy said. "And our country will plead on its behalf
within the European Union
and with other partners in the
international community."
Abbas. who also traveled
to Britain. Germany and
Belgium. welcomed the
pledge from Fram;e. But tt

Half of the Palestinian

refusal to recognize Israel,
renounce violence and

those demands.

But EU foreign policy

In Gaza, four Palestinians

Wendy's to close restaurant

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
COLUMBUS - Wendy's

Friday it will reluctantly
close the downtown restaurant where the nation's
third-largest
hamburger
chain began in 1969
because of sagging sales.
The iconic restaurant ,
which is tilled with memorabilia and photographs of
late Wendy's founder Dave
Thomas, will close its doors
at the end of business March
2, company spokesmaJt
Denny Lynch said.
"This is a very difticult

The restaurant has no

The location has lost money

No sales figures were

Thomas knew before he
died that his tirst restaurant
was struggling financially,
Lynch said.
"I guarantee he would
support this decision,"
Lynch said. "He recognized
that a company needs to be

Employees at the restaurant will be offered jobs at
other locations, Lynch said.

Behind the stripes: Refs sacrifice a lot, love the game a lot
BY JOE KAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI
D.J .
Carstensen squeezes the
steering wheel of his rental
car, trying to avoid slipping
otT the lonely, snow-covered
road that winds through dormant cornfields. His fingers
are clenched and his stomach
is chuming.
The veteran referee is supposed to be at Miami
University for the tip-off of a
Mid-American Conference
basketball game in a couple
of hours.
"You can't see the road,"
Carstensen said. "You're
stressed the whole time."
Carstensen arrives on time,
works an overtime game,
then hits the icy roads again.
heading for the airport and his
next destination. Across the
country, hundreds of other
referees are doing the same
thing this day, making mad
rushes from airports to arena~.
''I don't know how they do
it," Saint Joseph's coach Phil
Martelli said. "I think it's
amazing that they get to the
places that they have to. in the
most unusual of settings in
difticult times."
Several referees agreed to
interviews
with
The
Associated Press, providing a
mre glimpse into their world
as the basketball season heads
into tournament time.
The approximately 1.900
referees who work NCAA
Division I men's and
women's basketball games
dress in locker rooms the size
of a closet, get jeered by fans
when they make the right call,
catch a few hours of sleep at a
hotel, then rise long before
the sun does and bead for the
next packed arena.
They use vacation time
from their regular jobs to do
something that most folks
wouldn't even consider.
"We realize that it's not a
· very popular profession,"
said Ted Hillary, who has
worked four Final Fours.
:'We've talked about this as
officials and said, 'Why do
we really want to do this?'
Nobody can come up with a
definitive answer."
· The best answer: They love
the game and their role in it.
: "I think that being a referee,
you're born with it," said 52year-old Jackie Sanders, who
also works at an airplane parts
supplier
in
suburban
Cincinnati. "It's not meant for
everyone."
: Most figure that out right
away.
: Officials tend to pick up the
whistle by happenstance.
Somebody might need a ref
for a recreational league
game. A friend knows of an
opening for an offlcial and
encourages them .to give it a
try.
Their careers start in tiny
grade-school gyms, imposing
order on the serum of uncoordinated youngsters trying to
plaY. a complicated game
whtle parents scream from
the stands.
"I started with seventh- and
ei~hth-~rade games in 1970,"
srud Htllary, a retired high
~chool English and soctal
~tudies teacher who lives in
Grand Rapids, Mich. "We got
popcorn and $5 to do a couple
of grunes, and all we could eat
and drink. And you know
what? It was just fine."
: Some give it UJ? right away,
uncomfortable wtth the attention and the second-guessing.
Others realize they've found
their calling.
"I absolutely adored it,"
Hillary said.
Like coaches and players,
refs start at the bottom and
work their way up. HiBh
school. Small colleges. Juruor
colleges. 1l!ey attend crunps
to hone their skills. They are
evaluated by college conferences looking for someone
with enough talent and the
right temperament to work
their games.
If they measure up, they
move up. The best of them
eventually reach Division I,
where they feel like a freshman the first time they step
onto a court.
Sanders remembers walking into the I0-foot-long referees' room at the University
of Dayton Arena for his 'ftrst
Division I game in 1993. He
arrived' long before his two
partners, dumped his stuff
mto one of the four small
lockers, then stretched out on
the blue-green carpet and
thought about the moment.
"I can remember sitting in
the dressing room on the
floor, scared to death,"
Sanders said.
Th.e feeling soon passed.
The game was uneventful,
which is a good thing by referees' reckoning. They prefer
to do their jobs anonymously,
even though the nature of
their job makes them the center of attentton.
"They're the three people
that everybody else m the
arena worries about the
most," said Carstensen, who
has been a referee for 20
years. the last' nine years for
Division I games. 'The three
that really do not care who
wins the game are the three
that most everybody worries
about."
From the moment a ref lofts
the ball for the opening tip,
everyone is fixated on the
three people in stripes.
"They're equal to the two
teams in what they mean to
the game," Mane IIi said. "A
well-played game was also
well-officiated. They have a
huge impact on the game."
Coaches try to work the
officials. Players lobby for
calls. Fans boo eve!)' call that
goes allainst thetr team.
Meanwhtle, the refs focus on
their job - each is responsible for an area of the court and keeping up with a game
that . involves making decisions every second.
"These guys bond," said
Jim Satalin, coordinator of
officials for the Atlantic 10.
"They're a special group.
They certainly stick up for
each other. They're loyal to
each other. It's ldnd of themagainst-the-world.
"They can never really win.
They go to a game and half
the people are mad at them on
every call. They'd better be
strong individuals."
Also, they've got to have
good peoP.Ie skills. As the
drama butlds and emotions
rise, referees have to be
assertive and calming at the
same time. A lot goes on that
goes unnoticed in the stands:
"There's a lot of games
within the game," Sanders
said. "We have (player)
matchups within the game.
You sometimes have coaching conflicts - coach to
coach. Sometimes, you have
referee to coach. There's just
so many things going on out
there. But it's still a lot of
fun."
The part of the job that no
referee enjoys is the travel.
The overwhelming majority

"l know who I am. I have

not my problem. I' vc got to
make the team."
But he's still ' lielding the
same questions that dogged
him when he left the game
after the 2005 season with
Baltimore . Like Mark
McGwire and Barry Bonds,
Sosa is suspected by some of
having used steroids before
they were banned by baseball 4 1/2 years ago.
"I don't want to talk about
that." Sosa said. "Let's talk
about baseball. Let 's talk
about 2007, and the talent
we have in Texas, and what
we can do this year."

"I'm a little older. It doesn't mean I can't hit you 30 or

Johnson said he wasn 't trying to keep the workout a

said with a chuckle, referring- to the Diamondbacks·

otT the lonely, snow-covered
road that winds through dormant cornfields. His fingers
are clenched and his stomach
is chuming.
The veteran referee is supposed to be at Miami
University for the tip-off of a
Mid-American Conference
basketball game in a couple
of hours.
"You can't see the road,"
Carstensen said. "You're
stressed the whole time."
Carstensen arrives on time,
works an overtime game,
then hits the icy roads again.
heading for the airport and his
next destination. Across the
country, hundreds of other
referees are doing the same
thing this day, making mad
rushes from airports to arena~.
''I don't know how they do
it," Saint Joseph's coach Phil
Martelli said. "I think it's
amazing that they get to the
places that they have to. in the
most unusual of settings in
difticult times."
Several referees agreed to
interviews
with
The
Associated Press, providing a
mre glimpse into their world
as the basketball season heads
into tournament time.
The approximately 1.900
referees who work NCAA
Division I men's and
women's basketball games
dress in locker rooms the size
of a closet, get jeered by fans
when they make the right call,
catch a few hours of sleep at a
hotel, then rise long before
the sun does and bead for the
next packed arena.
They use vacation time
from their regular jobs to do
something that most folks
wouldn't even consider.
"We realize that it's not a
· very popular profession,"
said Ted Hillary, who has
worked four Final Fours.
:'We've talked about this as
officials and said, 'Why do
we really want to do this?'
Nobody can come up with a
definitive answer."
· The best answer: They love
the game and their role in it.
: "I think that being a referee,
you're born with it," said 52year-old Jackie Sanders, who
also works at an airplane parts
supplier
in
suburban
Cincinnati. "It's not meant for
everyone."
: Most figure that out right
away.
: Officials tend to pick up the
whistle by happenstance.
Somebody might need a ref
for a recreational league
game. A friend knows of an
opening for an offlcial and
encourages them .to give it a
try.
Their careers start in tiny
grade-school gyms, imposing
order on the serum of uncoordinated youngsters trying to
plaY. a complicated game
whtle parents scream from
the stands.
"I started with seventh- and
ei~hth-~rade games in 1970,"
srud Htllary, a retired high
~chool English and soctal
~tudies teacher who lives in
Grand Rapids, Mich. "We got
popcorn and $5 to do a couple
of grunes, and all we could eat
and drink. And you know
what? It was just fine."
: Some give it UJ? right away,
uncomfortable wtth the attention and the second-guessing.
Others realize they've found
their calling.
"I absolutely adored it,"
Hillary said.
Like coaches and players,
refs start at the bottom and
work their way up. HiBh
school. Small colleges. Juruor
colleges. 1l!ey attend crunps
to hone their skills. They are
evaluated by college conferences looking for someone
with enough talent and the
right temperament to work
their games.
If they measure up, they
move up. The best of them
eventually reach Division I,
where they feel like a freshman the first time they step
onto a court.
Sanders remembers walking into the I0-foot-long referees' room at the University
of Dayton Arena for his 'ftrst
Division I game in 1993. He
arrived' long before his two
partners, dumped his stuff
mto one of the four small
lockers, then stretched out on
the blue-green carpet and
thought about the moment.
"I can remember sitting in
the dressing room on the
floor, scared to death,"
Sanders said.
Th.e feeling soon passed.
The game was uneventful,
which is a good thing by referees' reckoning. They prefer
to do their jobs anonymously,
even though the nature of
their job makes them the center of attentton.
"They're the three people
that everybody else m the
arena worries about the
most," said Carstensen, who
has been a referee for 20
years. the last' nine years for
Division I games. 'The three
that really do not care who
wins the game are the three
that most everybody worries
about."
From the moment a ref lofts
the ball for the opening tip,
everyone is fixated on the
three people in stripes.
"They're equal to the two
teams in what they mean to
the game," Mane IIi said. "A
well-played game was also
well-officiated. They have a
huge impact on the game."
Coaches try to work the
officials. Players lobby for
calls. Fans boo eve!)' call that
goes allainst thetr team.
Meanwhtle, the refs focus on
their job - each is responsible for an area of the court and keeping up with a game
that . involves making decisions every second.
"These guys bond," said
Jim Satalin, coordinator of
officials for the Atlantic 10.
"They're a special group.
They certainly stick up for
each other. They're loyal to
each other. It's ldnd of themagainst-the-world.
"They can never really win.
They go to a game and half
the people are mad at them on
every call. They'd better be
strong individuals."
Also, they've got to have
good peoP.Ie skills. As the
drama butlds and emotions
rise, referees have to be
assertive and calming at the
same time. A lot goes on that
goes unnoticed in the stands:
"There's a lot of games
within the game," Sanders
said. "We have (player)
matchups within the game.
You sometimes have coaching conflicts - coach to
coach. Sometimes, you have
referee to coach. There's just
so many things going on out
there. But it's still a lot of
fun."
The part of the job that no
referee enjoys is the travel.

Sammy Sosa is hoping to

Two years after being

"l know who I am. I have

But he's still ' lielding the
same questions that dogged
him when he left the game
after the 2005 season with
Baltimore . Like Mark
McGwire and Barry Bonds,
Sosa is suspected by some of
having used steroids before
they were banned by baseball 4 1/2 years ago.
"I don't want to talk about
that." Sosa said. "Let's talk
about baseball. Let 's talk
about 2007, and the talent
we have in Texas, and what
we can do this year."

"I'm a little older. It doesn't mean I can't hit you 30 or

Busch held the lead in
each of the four NASCAR
events he entered at
Daytona and led more laps
(120) than any other driver
during the nine-day stretch.
He led 39 laps in the
Budweiser Shootout, 31 in
his 150-mile qualifying
race, 46 in the Busch Series
race and four in the Daytona
500.
He finished seventh in the
Shootout, fourth in his qualifier, 37th in the Busch race

"Th~t certainly wasn't

GM executive, others
urge NASCAR to
explore renewable fuels
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) - While working for
General Motors in Brazil in
the 1990s, Brent Dewar got
a firsthand look at the country's successful switch from
an oil-based economy to
ethanol.
Dewar wants to see the
same thing happen in the
United States, and he thinks
NASCAR can help . He's
lobbying officials to consider a switch from gasoline to
ethanol:
"We would embrace it,"
said Dewar, GM 's vice president of field sales. service
and parts. " We think iI
would be great on a lot of
fronts, because obviously it
would send a signal to the
public . A lot of people don' I
understand the benefits of
ethanol."
Other
rae ing
senes
already are embracing
renewable fuel s. Beginning
this season, the Indy Racing
League's lndyCar Series
will race on 100 percent
ethanol. And the American
LeMans Series will race on
a 10 percent ethanol blend.
Now, Dewar and others in
the garage said they believe
NASCAR should explore
alternative fuels - and no,
not the kind Michael Waltrip
was caught with in Daytona.
"Without a doubt, I think
we should look into it," driver Jeff Burton said.
"Although our impact on
environmental issues is
probably very, very small
from an actual use standpoint, from a marketing
standpoint; we could have a
major impact ."
Driver Kyle Petty says
NASCAR 's
marketing
horsepower might drive
alternative fuels into the
mainstream, helping consumers get over the image of
hippies tinkering with their
1980s Mercedes to make
them run on vegetable oil.
"I think once you start
seeing alternative fuels
show up in places like racing and places where you
least expect them" then you
don't think about that guy
with the Volkswagen van
that runs off of whatever,"
Petty said.

NASCAR 's opener has
so much hype, buildup,
attention and emphasis that
what's often overlooked is
the fact that the Daytona
500 means no more to the
championship than less
prominent
races
in
Virginia, Delaware, New
Hampshire and Kansas
City.
But Daytona can ;set the
tone for the season.
In 2004, six of the 10
drivers who made the
.Chase started the year by
finishing in the top 10 at
Daytona. The following
year, seven of the I 0 were

know they have ground to
make up.
Kenselh might be in an
even bigger hole, pending
hi s appeal. Roush Fenway
Racing formally appealed
the
50-point
penalty
assessed to Kenseth and
the .team last week for illegal modifications during
qualifying. If NASCAR
upholds the punishment,
Kenseth would drop from
26th to d tie for 40th in the
points 'landings.
Kenseth, Stewart, Busch
and Earnhardt had cars that
see med capable of winning
Daytona
before
they
wrecked.
Busch and Stewart started the crashfest when
Stewart's car wiggled on
lap 153. Busch, running
right
behind,
tapped
Stewart's bumper, causing
both cars to lose control.
Stewart finished last, an~
Busch was two spots better
in 41st.
"We know that we've
dug us a hole with that
41st-place
finish
at
Daytona, and we 'II have to
work hard to get out of it,"
Busch said. "We 'II go to
work on it this weekend at
California ."
Next to go was Johnson.
He was running well
behind the leaders about
20 laps later when he lost
control in turn two and
triggered a multi-car crash.
Then went Earnhardt,
taken out in a crash just
four laps from the scheduled finish.
But the real chaos came
on the final lap, when
Kenseth and Kyle Busch
collided, causing a chainreaction· pileup that sent
cars flying in all directions. Kenseth dropped to
27th as Harvick edged
Martin for the victory.
"We've always bounced
back in a big way after
Daytona, so I'm expecting
nothing less this weekend," Kenseth said.

P
OMEROY - A cl'ntury of wntin uous legal .,ervices in Pomeroy by
three generations ot attorneys "
being marked this year by the law
tirm C1f Crow & Crow.
The firm gdb back to 1907, when
Frederick W. Crow, a grandson of Jacob
Crow. who ('ame to America from
Qermany in th e mid-1700s, received hi s
lljW degree and opened an office in
Pomeroy. Frederick W Crow was th e son
of Charles Crow, who settled in the Great
Bend area where he grew potatoes which
~ shipped so uth on a tlatboat.
1.n Intelligent and inten'e man with a driving ambition, Frederick W. Crow struggled to get his legal education. He walkell
from his home in Great Bend to Bowman 's
Rt~n every Sunday night to tt!ach school for
$2() a month to earn money to go to law
school at Ohio State University.
· In those early years of practicing law in
Meigs County. he was elected prosecuting
attorney and th e n in 1929 became the fir st
and only Democra1 to be elected a judge
of the Court of Common Pleas. After that,
he was offered an appointment to the
Court of Appeals on the condition that he
· would agree to seek re -election. He
declined the offer.
The term he served as a judge in Meigs
County earned him the title by which he
was addressed by family and dose friends
long after he left office . It seems almost
everyone from then to this day simply refer
to him as "Judge." He died in 1957.
Fred W Crow Jr. .joined his father in the
Pomeroy law pra~tice after graduating
from Ohio Stale University in 19-to. With
the exception of four years dt1ring World
War II when lte served as an ag61lt with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. he
remained active in the f;mtily practice until
his death in 1995.
His son, Frederick W. Crow III, joined
the firrit in 1973 after working two years
as a legal advisor to the Dayton Police
. Department soon after his 1970 graduation from the Ohio State University
· College of Law. He sened several years
as county prosecutor before being elected
Common Pleas judge in 1981J, a position
he has held since then.
Another son, I. Carson Crow, came into
the firm in 1975 after graduating from the
Ohio Northern College of Law. He currently practices law in the offices long occupied
by Crow & Crow at the intersection of
Mulberry Avenue and Second Street.
It would be remiss not to 1nention anoth er person long associated with the Crow
. and Crow law firm . Sybil Ebersbach went
to work as a secretary for Frederick W.
Crow in 1922, moved with him as a ~ourt
reponer when he was elected judge, and
returned to his private practice when he did .
She worked with all three generations of
Crow attorneys. a total of 61 years, retiring
in 1983. She was credited by the attorneys
with "keeping the house in order."
While it had nothing to do with sprucing
things up for the 100-year anniversary.

Busch held the lead in
each of the four NASCAR
events he entered at
Daytona and led more laps
(120) than any other driver
during the nine-day stretch.
He led 39 laps in the
Budweiser Shootout, 31 in
his 150-mile qualifying
race, 46 in the Busch Series

He finished seventh in the

GM executive, others
urge NASCAR to
explore renewable fuels
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) - While working for
General Motors in Brazil in
the 1990s, Brent Dewar got
a firsthand look at the country's successful switch from
an oil-based economy to
ethanol.
Dewar wants to see the
same thing happen in the
United States, and he thinks
NASCAR can help . He's
lobbying officials to consider a switch from gasoline to
ethanol:
"We would embrace it,"
said Dewar, GM 's vice president of field sales. service
and parts. " We think iI
would be great on a lot of
fronts, because obviously it
would send a signal to the
public . A lot of people don' I
understand the benefits of
ethanol."
Other
rae ing
senes
already are embracing
renewable fuel s. Beginning
this season, the Indy Racing
League's lndyCar Series
will race on 100 percent
ethanol. And the American
LeMans Series will race on
a 10 percent ethanol blend.
Now, Dewar and others in
the garage said they believe
NASCAR should explore
alternative fuels - and no,
not the kind Michael Waltrip
was caught with in Daytona.
"Without a doubt, I think
we should look into it," driver Jeff Burton said.
"Although our impact on
environmental issues is
probably very, very small
from an actual use standpoint, from a marketing
standpoint; we could have a
major impact ."
Driver Kyle Petty says
NASCAR 's
marketing
horsepower might drive
alternative fuels into the
mainstream, helping consumers get over the image of
hippies tinkering with their
1980s Mercedes to make
them run on vegetable oil.
"I think once you start
seeing alternative fuels
show up in places like racing and places where you
least expect them" then you
don't think about that guy
with the Volkswagen van
that runs off of whatever,"
Petty said.

NASCAR 's opener has
so much hype, buildup,
attention and emphasis that
what's often overlooked is
the fact that the Daytona
500 means no more to the
championship than less

in
Virginia, Delaware, New
Hampshire and Kansas
City.
But Daytona can ;set the
tone for the season.
In 2004, six of the 10
drivers who made the
.Chase started the year by
finishing in the top 10 at
Daytona. The following
year, seven of the I 0 were

know they have ground to

Kenselh might be in an
even bigger hole, pending
hi s appeal. Roush Fenway
Racing formally appealed
the
50-point
penalty
assessed to Kenseth and
the .team last week for illegal modifications during
qualifying. If NASCAR
upholds the punishment,
Kenseth would drop from
26th to d tie for 40th in the
points 'landings.
Kenseth, Stewart, Busch
and Earnhardt had cars that
see med capable of winning
Daytona
before
they
wrecked.
Busch and Stewart started the crashfest when
Stewart's car wiggled on
lap 153. Busch, running
right
behind,
tapped
Stewart's bumper, causing
both cars to lose control.
Stewart finished last, an~
Busch was two spots better
in 41st.
"We know that we've
dug us a hole with that
41st-place
finish
at
Daytona, and we 'II have to
work hard to get out of it,"
Busch said. "We 'II go to
work on it this weekend at
California ."
Next to go was Johnson.
He was running well
behind the leaders about
20 laps later when he lost
control in turn two and
triggered a multi-car crash.
Then went Earnhardt,
taken out in a crash just
four laps from the scheduled finish.
But the real chaos came
on the final lap, when
Kenseth and Kyle Busch
collided, causing a chainreaction· pileup that sent
cars flying in all directions. Kenseth dropped to
27th as Harvick edged
Martin for the victory.
"We've always bounced
back in a big way after
Daytona, so I'm expecting
nothing less this weekend," Kenseth said.

OMEROY - A cl'ntury of wntin uous legal .,ervices in Pomeroy by
three generations ot attorneys "
being marked this year by the law
tirm C1f Crow & Crow.
The firm gdb back to 1907, when
Frederick W. Crow, a grandson of Jacob
Crow. who ('ame to America from
Qermany in th e mid-1700s, received hi s
lljW degree and opened an office in
Pomeroy. Frederick W Crow was th e son
of Charles Crow, who settled in the Great
Bend area where he grew potatoes which
~ shipped so uth on a tlatboat.
1.n Intelligent and inten'e man with a driving ambition, Frederick W. Crow struggled to get his legal education. He walkell
from his home in Great Bend to Bowman 's
Rt~n every Sunday night to tt!ach school for
$2() a month to earn money to go to law
school at Ohio State University.
· In those early years of practicing law in
Meigs County. he was elected prosecuting
attorney and th e n in 1929 became the fir st
and only Democra1 to be elected a judge
of the Court of Common Pleas. After that,
he was offered an appointment to the
Court of Appeals on the condition that he
· would agree to seek re -election. He
declined the offer.
The term he served as a judge in Meigs
County earned him the title by which he
was addressed by family and dose friends
long after he left office . It seems almost
everyone from then to this day simply refer
to him as "Judge." He died in 1957.
Fred W Crow Jr. .joined his father in the
Pomeroy law pra~tice after graduating
from Ohio Stale University in 19-to. With
the exception of four years dt1ring World
War II when lte served as an ag61lt with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. he
remained active in the f;mtily practice until
his death in 1995.
His son, Frederick W. Crow III, joined
the firrit in 1973 after working two years
as a legal advisor to the Dayton Police
. Department soon after his 1970 graduation from the Ohio State University
· College of Law. He sened several years
as county prosecutor before being elected
Common Pleas judge in 1981J, a position
he has held since then.
Another son, I. Carson Crow, came into
the firm in 1975 after graduating from the
Ohio Northern College of Law. He currently practices law in the offices long occupied
by Crow & Crow at the intersection of
Mulberry Avenue and Second Street.
It would be remiss not to 1nention anoth er person long associated with the Crow
. and Crow law firm . Sybil Ebersbach went
to work as a secretary for Frederick W.
Crow in 1922, moved with him as a ~ourt
reponer when he was elected judge, and
returned to his private practice when he did .
She worked with all three generations of
Crow attorneys. a total of 61 years, retiring
in 1983. She was credited by the attorneys
with "keeping the house in order."

The "Buffalo Soldiers"
were made beuer known to
the American public via
the 1997 television movie
that starred Danny Glover.
The
name
~· Buffalo
Soldiers" was given to the
U.S. 9th ami lOth Cavalry
by the Kiowa Indians after
the Iauer had batt led these
ail African Ame ric an regiments known as the United
States Colored Troops .
Included in that organization were the two regiments of black cavalry as
well as four regiments of
black infantry.
From 1866 to the early
1890s, these units served at
a variety of posts in the
southwest and on the Great
Plains. Some 19 of these
men earned the prestigious
Medal of Honor. The
"Buffalo Soldiers" were at
the Battle of San Juan Hill
as well as serving in the
Mexican Expedition and in
World War I. An interesting
note was the 9th Cavalry

park rangers in the Sequoia

Serving as a chaplain for
the

Cavalry was Gallipolis-born
O.J .W. Scott. He was born
here in 186 7 and anended
what was later to be known
as Lincoln School. In the
early I 880s, he and another
student asked permission to
attend the then all-white
Gallipolis High School.
They were denied . Scott
later earned a college
degree from Wilberforce
and a theology degree from
Payne Theological School.
He entered the ministry and

Denver before joining the
Army.

Why do you need an orthodontist? ·
Orthodontists are uniquely qualified specialists who correct improperly aligned teeth and jaws. The American
Dental Association requires Onhodontists to have at least two years of additional training in an accredited residency program alter graduation from dental school. Only those who complete this specialized training can call
themselves orthodontists and only certified orthodontists can be members of the American Association of
Onhodontists.
Orthodontists are trained to spot subtle problems with jaw growth or teeth whill! a child still has primary or "baby"
teeth present. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends all children get a check-up with an
onttodontic specialist around the age of 7.
Some of the problems to watch for in growing children are cross bites, deep bites, open bites, spacing problems,
protrusion of teeth, and oral habits. Orthodontists like to identify these types of problems as soon as possible to
initiate the proper care in a timely fashion.
Other lndlcQtors thllt may dictate a visit to an orthodontist are:
• Early or late loss of baby teeth
"
• Ollliculty in chewing or biting
• Mouth breathing
• Jaws that shift or make sounds
• Speech dllllcultlea
• Biting the cheek or the roof of the mouth
• Facial Imbalance
• Grinding or clenching teeth
It is never too lata to gat correction of teeth that need alignment. Adults have found in order to keep their teeth as
long as possible that good alignment Is a must. There are many ways to accommodate adult patients who do not
want the traditional metal brackets. Advances in orthodontic treatment have made available other options including
clear brackets to using no brackets at all.
Even though the end result means a beautiful smile, the goal of the orthodontist is to prevent or alleviate dental or
physical health problems. Teeth and jaws that are in proper alignment work better and last longer.
If you have any concerns about the alignment of your teeth or your children's teeth, make an appointment with a
certified orthodontist and find out what options are available for you and your family.

Why? Many baby boomers
are overly optimistic about
most things from finances to
health. There is a feeling or
sense that every problem is
going to be solved very soon
by science, so why worry. As
a result, when it comes to
making decisions about their

wait for a better and quicker
solution to come along.
Those with Internet access
think they can out-research
their doctors and learn
everything about their symptoms and possible treatments
or find an alternative cure. In
many cases merely making
changes in ones diet and getting 30 to 45 minutes of
exercise, even something as
simple as walking would
help trernemdously.

The "Buffalo Soldiers"
were made beuer known to
the American public via
the 1997 television movie
that starred Danny Glover.
The
name
~· Buffalo
Soldiers" was given to the
U.S. 9th ami lOth Cavalry
by the Kiowa Indians after
the Iauer had batt led these
ail African Ame ric an regiments known as the United
States Colored Troops .
Included in that organization were the two regiments of black cavalry as
well as four regiments of
black infantry.
From 1866 to the early
1890s, these units served at
a variety of posts in the
southwest and on the Great
Plains. Some 19 of these
men earned the prestigious
Medal of Honor. The
"Buffalo Soldiers" were at
the Battle of San Juan Hill
as well as serving in the
Mexican Expedition and in
World War I. An interesting
note was the 9th Cavalry
served as tl)e nation\ first
park rangers in the Sequoia
National Park .
Serving as a chaplain for
the
famous
"Buffalo
Soldiers" of the IOth
Cavalry was Gallipolis-born
O.J .W. Scott. He was born
here in 186 7 and anended
what was later to be known
as Lincoln School. In the
early I 880s, he and another
student asked permission to
attend the then all-white
Gallipolis High School.
They were denied . Scott
later earned a college
degree from Wilberforce
and a theology degree from
Payne Theological School.
He entered the ministry and
served
pastorates
in
Washington D.C. and
Denver before joining the
Army.
.
W~ile serving in Mexico
during the "Poncho Villa
affair," Scon was a. bunkie
with the famous Col.
Charles Young. Born in
. Mayslick, Ky., the son of
former
slaves, Young
became the first black to
graduate from Ripley, Ohio,
High School. He applied to
West Point and received tt'te
second highest ~core that
year. He later graduated
from West Point (the third
African American in history
to do sol and started a long
military career that when
ended many years later saw
him as the highest-ranking
. black soldier in the military.
Chaplain Scott Iuter
wrote about his association
with Young , saying how
Young played the or~an in
religious services while the

Why do you need an orthodontist? ·
Orthodontists are uniquely qualified specialists who correct improperly aligned teeth and jaws. The American
Dental Association requires Onhodontists to have at least two years of additional training in an accredited residency program alter graduation from dental school. Only those who complete this specialized training can call
themselves orthodontists and only certified orthodontists can be members of the American Association of
Onhodontists.
Orthodontists are trained to spot subtle problems with jaw growth or teeth whill! a child still has primary or "baby"
teeth present. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends all children get a check-up with an
onttodontic specialist around the age of 7.
Some of the problems to watch for in growing children are cross bites, deep bites, open bites, spacing problems,
protrusion of teeth, and oral habits. Orthodontists like to identify these types of problems as soon as possible to
initiate the proper care in a timely fashion.
Other lndlcQtors thllt may dictate a visit to an orthodontist are:
• Early or late loss of baby teeth
"
• Ollliculty in chewing or biting
• Mouth breathing
• Jaws that shift or make sounds
• Speech dllllcultlea
• Biting the cheek or the roof of the mouth
• Facial Imbalance
• Grinding or clenching teeth
It is never too lata to gat correction of teeth that need alignment. Adults have found in order to keep their teeth as
long as possible that good alignment Is a must. There are many ways to accommodate adult patients who do not
want the traditional metal brackets. Advances in orthodontic treatment have made available other options including
clear brackets to using no brackets at all.
Even though the end result means a beautiful smile, the goal of the orthodontist is to prevent or alleviate dental or
physical health problems. Teeth and jaws that are in proper alignment work better and last longer.
If you have any concerns about the alignment of your teeth or your children's teeth, make an appointment with a
certified orthodontist and find out what options are available for you and your family.

motion.
• Brush at least two times per day, preferably after meals.
• Cut down on sweet snacks and soda. They cause tooth

Character's quest for self-examination continues FAC's 'Everything's a
Road Trip' fund-raiser
set for March 3
After reading Richard
Ford's The Lay of the Land, I
feel compe lied to try
Independence Day, for
which he won the Pulitzer
Prize for fiction. They, along
with The Sporl.\ll'rill'r, l(lrm
a trilogy, the story of one
Frank Bascombe, a New
Jersey reallor. failed novelist, former sportswriter,
divorced father of two and
ex-husband of Ann, for
whom he still carries a tofl'h ,
lhough she has remarried .
Ford is an astute and gifted writer, getting the innermost feelings and motivations .o f a 44-year-old
estranged father just right.
His son Paul , age 15, has
gotten himself in trouble
with the law. Over the
weekend of July 4, 1988,
Frank hopes to reconnect
with his son by taking him
on a road trip to the
Basketball Hall of Fame in
Springfield, Mass., and the
Baseball Hall of Fame in
Cooperstown, N.Y.
Before he can leave
Haddam, N.J., where he now
lives in the house his ex -wife
occupied after their divorce
seven years ago, he must
show a crabby couple from
Vennont some houses. They
have already seen several.
and like none of them. He
moved to Connecticut , living a lifestyle a cut above
what Frank would provide .
The primary reason for the
break -up was the death of

(That is covered in the first

So, being friends with the
husband of your ex-wife is
not possible. But real life
must go on. And on it does,
with Frank taking pleasure
in the ., mall things. like providing housing, even if a
house cannot provide the
idealized life his clients
seek. Frank still finds hope
in the annual Founh of July
celebration in his little
town , and hope for his and
his distant children's future .
Great book , deserving of
the Pulitzer and the time it
takes to read it. Think you
must be at least 40', or
divorced, or given to selfexamination to really like it,
though. Some books just
require you to bring some of
your own experience to
them to really feel the connection with what the author
is saying. I feel like l know
Frank Bascombe much better than I know many folks I
have known for years, but
you don't get inside your

gets into Frank's .

Greer Museum to host work of Raymond Lane
RIO GRANDE - A new
exhibit at the University of
Rio Grande/Rio Grande
Community College features the work of an outstanding photographer and
artist from the region.
The display, which features the photographic work
of Raymond Lane of
Athens, is open to the public
through March II . Lane is a
talented photographer who
took a unique path on his
road to becoming an artist.
"He taught physics at
Ohio University for his
whole career," said Jim
Allen, chair of the School of
Fine and Performing Arts at
Rio Grande. "He wanted to
explore the right side of his
brain, ~o he got into photography and really loved it."
Not only did Lane love
photography, but he found
that people enjoy his work.
The show currently on display in the Greer Museum is
"Maturity Celebrated."
Many of the images in the
exhibit feature Lane's wife .
"They are all black and
white and lhey are all figure
studies," Allen explained.
"I was really impressed
with his work," Allen added.
He also is pleased to find
an artist of Lane's caliber
living nearby. Rio Grande
has a long, positive relation~hip with Ohio University,
and Allen said he was
pleased to bring the anistic
work of an OU profeS>or to
Rio Grande.
"Last year he visited a
photography class at Rio
Grande and spoke with
them," Allen said. "I really
enjoy Raymond Lane and
his work."
Lane's show followed the
Rio Grande Faculty Show in
the Greer Museum, which
featured the work of Allen
and Rio Grande faculty
members Kevin Lyles and
Benjamin Davis. That show
is now being exhibited at
Shawnee State University.
The next exhibit for the
Greer Museum will feature
the work of artist Annette
Gaspers. Her show, which
will open on March 19,
will feature print and fabric hangings. Gasper is an
OU
graduate
student
studying printmaking and
she also teaches part-time
at Rio Grande.
After the Gaspers show
concludes , the senior art
students at Rio Grande will
present the annual senior
class show.
Finally, the last two
weeks of the semester will
the feature the annual student show in the Greer
Museum. This exhibit will
showcase the anwork that
Rio Grande students complete throughout the year.
The Greer Museum is
open from I to 5 p.m.

and admission is free.

Robyn Iris Segai•AP
One of the most popular kitchen
appliances to come along in the last
several decades is the garbage disposal. In remodeling nowadays,
who would think of putting in a sink
and not including a disposal?
With disposals you really do get
what you pay for. They come in a
multitude of product quality levels and the better the quality, the
higher the cost. Although disposals are nothing more than
grinders. there are cheap ones that
won't last very long, and better
ones that will last longer, OJ?Crate
more quietly and do a better JOb of
macerating the . stuff you need
ground up and liquefied.
Note: Even the best, most powerful, most expensive garbage disposal is not meant to grind full
heads of lettuce.
A disposal is best thought of as a
device to convert small ~ounts of
solid waste. into particles that can
more easily be swept dowo the
drain and out to the public sewer
system -. small bits of orange peel
or. carrot skio, say. that are too
small to throw in the trash or compost pile.
Keeping this in mind will add ·
substantial life to your dis[XJsal.
Other points:
• Cheap disposals are noisy partly
because thev lac~ sufficient insula·
tion. And some of the vibration that
can radiate annoying sound may
result from pairing any disposal.
even the best one, with a cheap
sink. ·
• Cheap knife blades in a· cheap
disp~'sal will dull more quickly.
• The grinding chamber will last
longer if it is made from stainless
steel.
• The larger the motor, the m@re
power lhe disposal will have and
the better equipped it will be to
grind up anything and everything. If
we had a choice, among l/3 horsepower, 112 horsepower or l horse power we would always opt for the
largest. lhe !-horsepower unit.
Having chosen a good disposal.
there are important installation facts
to remember.
First, the National Electric Code
requires that a disposal be on its
own "dedicated" circuit. If you
are sharing your disposal with
other appliances you may overheat the circuit and even cause a
fire . Although disposal cir,·uih
vary, a disposal circuit should be
rated at 20 amps.
There are two dangers to using a
disposal: Reaching in with your
hand to dean it out without first

unplugging it: anJ using th~ ()[1/otl

Greer Museum to host work of Raymond Lane
RIO GRANDE - A new
exhibit at the University of
Rio Grande/Rio Grande
Community College features the work of an outstanding photographer and
artist from the region.
The display, which features the photographic work
of Raymond Lane of
Athens, is open to the public
through March II . Lane is a
talented photographer who
took a unique path on his
road to becoming an artist.
"He taught physics at
Ohio University for his
whole career," said Jim
Allen, chair of the School of
Fine and Performing Arts at
Rio Grande. "He wanted to
explore the right side of his
brain, ~o he got into photography and really loved it."
Not only did Lane love
photography, but he found
that people enjoy his work.
The show currently on display in the Greer Museum is
"Maturity Celebrated."
Many of the images in the
exhibit feature Lane's wife .
"They are all black and
white and lhey are all figure
studies," Allen explained.
"I was really impressed
with his work," Allen added.
He also is pleased to find
an artist of Lane's caliber
living nearby. Rio Grande
has a long, positive relation~hip with Ohio University,
and Allen said he was
pleased to bring the anistic
work of an OU profeS>or to
Rio Grande.
"Last year he visited a
photography class at Rio
Grande and spoke with
them," Allen said. "I really
enjoy Raymond Lane and
his work."
Lane's show followed the
Rio Grande Faculty Show in
the Greer Museum, which
featured the work of Allen
and Rio Grande faculty
members Kevin Lyles and
Benjamin Davis. That show
is now being exhibited at
Shawnee State University.
The next exhibit for the
Greer Museum will feature
the work of artist Annette
Gaspers. Her show, which
will open on March 19,
will feature print and fabric hangings. Gasper is an
OU
graduate
student
studying printmaking and
she also teaches part-time
at Rio Grande.
After the Gaspers show
concludes , the senior art
students at Rio Grande will
present the annual senior
class show.
Finally, the last two
weeks of the semester will
the feature the annual student show in the Greer
Museum. This exhibit will
showcase the anwork that
Rio Grande students complete throughout the year.
The Greer Museum is
open from I to 5 p.m.
Tuesdays through Sundays,
and admission is free.

Robyn Iris Segai•AP
One of the most popular kitchen
appliances to come along in the last
several decades is the garbage disposal. In remodeling nowadays,
who would think of putting in a sink
and not including a disposal?
With disposals you really do get
what you pay for. They come in a
multitude of product quality levels and the better the quality, the
higher the cost. Although disposals are nothing more than
grinders. there are cheap ones that
won't last very long, and better
ones that will last longer, OJ?Crate
more quietly and do a better JOb of
macerating the . stuff you need
ground up and liquefied.
Note: Even the best, most powerful, most expensive garbage disposal is not meant to grind full
heads of lettuce.
A disposal is best thought of as a
device to convert small ~ounts of
solid waste. into particles that can
more easily be swept dowo the
drain and out to the public sewer
system -. small bits of orange peel
or. carrot skio, say. that are too
small to throw in the trash or compost pile.
Keeping this in mind will add ·
substantial life to your dis[XJsal.
Other points:
• Cheap disposals are noisy partly
because thev lac~ sufficient insula·
tion. And some of the vibration that
can radiate annoying sound may
result from pairing any disposal.
even the best one, with a cheap
sink. ·
• Cheap knife blades in a· cheap
disp~'sal will dull more quickly.
• The grinding chamber will last
longer if it is made from stainless
steel.
• The larger the motor, the m@re
power lhe disposal will have and
the better equipped it will be to
grind up anything and everything. If
we had a choice, among l/3 horsepower, 112 horsepower or l horse power we would always opt for the
largest. lhe !-horsepower unit.
Having chosen a good disposal.
there are important installation facts
to remember.
First, the National Electric Code
requires that a disposal be on its
own "dedicated" circuit. If you
are sharing your disposal with
other appliances you may overheat the circuit and even cause a
fire . Although disposal cir,·uih
vary, a disposal circuit should be
rated at 20 amps.
There are two dangers to using a

EDUCATrOR'S VIEW
·Developing a plan for pet protection
BY RICHARD 5T£PHENS
During the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina. the
United States has seen what
a disaster can do not only to
a city and its people. but
also to its animal population as well.
In watching the news
updates on New Orleans. I
saw many dogs and cats
abandoned and roaming the
streets. Hopefully we may
never experience an event
as horrible as those suffered
in New Orleans. Events
such as the flood of 1997
and the ice storm in 2003
are a possibility in the
future. So what are we
going to do with animals
when there is a crisis in
Gallia Coumy·•
The best way to address
this is with planning and
education now to alleviate
confusion and frustration
later. The Gallia County
Emergency Management
Agency (EMA) and the
Ohio Stale University
Extension Off~ee in Gallia
County are working jointly
to develop an Animal
Annex for the Gallia
County
Emergency
Operations Plan.
This plan ·wi ll outline
steps to take incase of a natural. man-made. or technolog ical disaster. Gallia
County EMA Director Mike
Null has been facilitating
this plan for approximately
one year. With the assistance of many other government agencies and indi viduals, including farmers and
livestock owners, the plan
will become a reali ty in the
near future . The plan will
address not only house pets
and service animals, but
also livestock and wildlife.
Due to the fact that Gallia
County has a significant
investment in agriculture
and livestock, these areas
will have a major role in the
success of the plan.
Evacuation and the care
of animals in case of a disaster is key. The plan will
outline the responsibilities
of the agencies and organi-
zations that will be involved
during a disa&ter. The Red
Cross shelters cannot
accommodate
animals.
unless they are service animals. As a result, individuals that need to be sheltered
will have no one to care for
their pets. If you nave any
question~ or suggestions
regarding the animal annex
of the G<1llia County
Emergency
Operations
Plan, please contact me at
the Extension Office, (740)
446-7007.

Grass can be grazed or

livestock if they start consuming the young legumes.
At this time, allow a few
weeks without mowing or
grazing to allow the legume
to become established.
If you are not able to get
your legumes "frost seeded," you still have time to
use a no- till drill to seed
. your legumes. Seeding cutoff dates for southern Ohio
is April 15-25. Final stands
{or legumes sown with a
drill are usually better than
'frost seeding' but the cost
of seeding is somewhat
higher.
Whichever method of
seeding you choose, adding
legumes to your pasture can
be a win-win situation.

EDUCATrOR'S VIEW
·Developing a plan for pet protection
BY RICHARD 5T£PHENS
During the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina. the
United States has seen what
a disaster can do not only to
a city and its people. but
also to its animal population as well.
In watching the news
updates on New Orleans. I
saw many dogs and cats
abandoned and roaming the
streets. Hopefully we may
never experience an event
as horrible as those suffered
in New Orleans. Events
such as the flood of 1997
and the ice storm in 2003
are a possibility in the
future. So what are we
going to do with animals
when there is a crisis in
Gallia Coumy·•
The best way to address
this is with planning and
education now to alleviate
confusion and frustration
later. The Gallia County
Emergency Management
Agency (EMA) and the
Ohio Stale University
Extension Off~ee in Gallia
County are working jointly
to develop an Animal
Annex for the Gallia
County
Emergency
Operations Plan.
This plan ·wi ll outline
steps to take incase of a natural. man-made. or technolog ical disaster. Gallia
County EMA Director Mike
Null has been facilitating
this plan for approximately
one year. With the assistance of many other government agencies and indi viduals, including farmers and
livestock owners, the plan
will become a reali ty in the
near future . The plan will
address not only house pets
and service animals, but
also livestock and wildlife.
Due to the fact that Gallia
County has a significant
investment in agriculture
and livestock, these areas
will have a major role in the
success of the plan.
Evacuation and the care
of animals in case of a disaster is key. The plan will
outline the responsibilities
of the agencies and organi-
zations that will be involved
during a disa&ter. The Red
Cross shelters cannot
accommodate
animals.
unless they are service animals. As a result, individuals that need to be sheltered
will have no one to care for
their pets. If you nave any
question~ or suggestions
regarding the animal annex
of the G<1llia County
Emergency
Operations
Plan, please contact me at
the Extension Office, (740)
446-7007.

It's titne to frost seed legumes

Adding legumes. red

and forage intake are all
improved. This can add to

Grass can be grazed or
clipped while the legume is

mches. This allows more
sun lignt to reach the
legume. If grazing, remove
livestock if they start consuming the young legumes.
At this time, allow a few
weeks without mowing or
grazing to allow the legume
to become established.
If you are not able to get
your legumes "frost seeded," you still have time to
use a no- till drill to seed
. your legumes. Seeding cutoff dates for southern Ohio
is April 15-25. Final stands
{or legumes sown with a
drill are usually better than
'frost seeding' but the cost
of seeding is somewhat
higher.
Whichever method of
seeding you choose, adding
legumes to your pasture can
be a win-win situation.

�REAli ESTATE
iunba, lin~es ·itntinel
(MS) - Buying a home is
a valuable investment.
Along with providing a
P.lace for xou and your famtly to butld lasting memories, a home is a great way
to r,lan for retirement.
Whi e many
potential
homeowners are understandably concerned with
getting the best interest rate
and lowest mongage payment possible, other costs
can be trimmed as well .
Perhaps the biggest area
where most homeowners
would prefer to trim some
fat off their monthl y bills is
with their homeowner's
insurance. While such a
thought might seem like
false hope~ according to the
Insurance
Information
Institute, there are a variety
of ways homeowners can
lessen the blow of their
monthly insurance bill.
• Raise your deductible.
Raising your deductible is
perhaps the quickest way to
lessen your monthly insurance expense. Deductibles
PageD6
The cost of living is escalating all across the country.
Lowering the cost of home insurance can be one way to
save money.
are the amount you have to
pay toward a loss before your
msurance company begins to
pay. A $500 deductible, the
recommended minimum,
means you would have to
pay $500 toward dama~es to
your home , and your msurance company would then
pay the rest, if those damages
were covert:d under your poli<:y. A homeowner who
~:hooses
to
ratse
his
deductible from $500 to
$1.000, however. might save
up · to 25 percent on his
monthly insurance costs.
• Make your home more
disaster-reststant. Regardless
of where you live, your home
is susceptible to some type of
disaster. Perhaps your region
is prone to earth4uakes, tornadoes or even hailstorms or
hurricanes . These days it
seems nowhere is safe from
natural disasters. Therefore ,
making your home more disaster-res istant is another possible way of cutting your
homeowners insurance costs.
Adding storm shutters and
roof reinforcements might
enable you to save you some
money. Doing some inside
remodeling with newer
appliances can also reduce
the risk of tire or water damage to your home, which
should lead to lower monthly
insurance costs.
• Install or upgrade a
home-sec urity
system .
While the initial costs of
installing or upgradin~ a
home-security system nught
seem costly, some insurance
.companies make it more
than worth your while , slashing your premiums by as
much as 20 percent if certain
systems
are
installed.
Typically, an insurance company will you give you the
biggest di scount if you
install a tire or burglar alarm

Sunday, February 25, 2007
system that immediately
notities local police, fire
ofticials or even a company
with a monitoring system.
The best way to determine if
such systems are wonh the
investment is to speak with
your insurance provider first
and ask about which systems
garner the biggest discounts.
• Keep a good credit rating. Thts is sound advice
even for people who aren't
homeowners but would like
to be someday. Though it
hasn 't come without controversy, many msurance companies are now looking at
credit ratings when determining prices for homeowners' msurance policies.
Having and maintaining a
strong credit history is
entirely under your control
and can save you money in
the long run.
• Combine your policies. In
most instances, insurance
providers will charge less if
you select them as your
homeowner and auto insurance provider. Savings can
reach a.~ high as 15 percent
and make for an easier time
when it comes to paying the
monthly bills as well.
However, do your research.
While combining coverages
usually works in a homeowner's favor, that's not always
the case . Find out how much
coverage will cost using the
same company as opposed to
two, and choose the less costly of the two options.
• Stay with the same company. Insurance companies
typically reward their longttme customers with strong
payment histories by offermg them lower rates. More
often than not, this works on
a tier system. where customers who have been with
a provider for X amount of
years will get a cenain percentage discount. That percentage typically rises with
each period spent with the
company. However, keep an
eye on rates from other
companies just to make sure
you're getting the best rate
possible .

the entire year, the tradit ional costs that apply to your
primary residence will still
be there. Financing fees,
utilit y bills and property
taxes. among other "things.
will all still apply. In addition, for those looking to
rent out their second home
during periods of time they
know they won't be using it,
that can potentially prove
more limiting financially.
Oftentimes, renting the
property out means you're
no longer eligible for certain tax exemptions.
• Compare and contrast.
While it' s alwavs nicer to
own your own "place. is it
really wonh it for you? This
can be determined with a
s) mple examination of past
vacation's receipts. How
much do you typically shell
out in hotel or rental fees or
other traditional vacati on
expenses such as food and
beverages? If a second homt-'
makes linancial sense in that
regard, then you might be
making the right decision
getting a second home.
However. for those who typically don't spend too much
lime on vacation or would
prefer to travel to different
locales, then a second home
might not be for you.
• Look at different properties
available . Just
because you can alford a
second home doesn't mean
you need one. Less expensive omdos or timesharcs
can make you feel just as at
home on a vacation and
might be able to save you
substanti al amounts on
property taxes, fees, etc.
• Speak to an investment
professional. If you're not
currently in a position to
allord a second home but
would like to be someday,
consult a financial planner
or advisor and tell him about
your goals. If you stay disci-
plined and stan far enough
in advance, you should be
able to establish a plan
where a second home is less
a dream and more a reality.
• Know the tax laws. As
mentioned ea rlier, your
intentions with property .can
greatly affect the amount
you'II be taxed or allowed
to deduct. Don't let these
laws be a surprise after
you've bought your second
home. Know · exactl y what
you can and can't do with
your propen~ and how certain things ltke renting out
the property will affe ct your
tax situation. Consula tax
professional to learnabout
the various tax implications
that cou ld make or break
you financially .
• Is it what you really
want? For vacationers who
enjoy time off in the summer and the winter, perhaps
a second home isn't the best
route, as you likely won't be
able to ski and surf in the
same locale, meaning you'll
sti ll be spending additional
money on hotels ani! other
services th at a second home
should negate. Also, the
burdens of meeting the bills
that come with a second
home can limit your ability
to take that second vacation.
Understand all the costs
you'll have to face once you
sign the dotted line.

Is a second home the right n1ove?
(MS)- While many people dream of owning a vacation home, oftentimes it is
looked at as a luxury available solely to the wealthy.
That's a perception that is
largely true, as approval for
second home mortgages is
more difficult than for primary home mongages. Also,
higher down payments on
second homes are typically
required, as lenders look to
protect themselves from borrowers who might be more
prone to missing a payment
on their vacation home than
their primary residence.
Still, for those in the position to afford and be
approved for a second home,
the decision on whether or
not to do so is no slam dunk.
Rather, the following linancial ~'Onsidemtions should be
taken into account before
you go second home hunting.
