However, before Dunfee left, he, along with other military personncl and first responders, were honored by the State of West Virginia for rescuing 17 military personnel after their helicopter crashed in blizzard-like conditions in Pocahontas County, W.Va. The crash happened in late February and Dunfee was one of two medics lowered to the crash site to treat the injured for nearly 18 hours before the c~valry of local first responders and military personnel could make their way through the nasty conditions. Dunfee, 25, a Pomeroy native, was flown by helicopter to the site of the downed chopper with visibility nearly zero. Fearing the working chopper would make conditions worse for those on the ground, Dunfee ~nd another medic were lowered to the ground fmther from the site than anticipated.

Joe Manchin amoll!.! at least 30 state governor-, targeted by disturbing letters calling for their removal. Strickland\ office says it received the letter earlv this week from Guardians of tht~ free Republics. The office did not release a copy. Spokeswoman Amanda Wurst said the letter had been turned over to federal authorities. Manchin's office savs it received the Jetter Monday from Guan.lians of the free Republics. The office turned the letter 0\er to Manchin 's State Police detail and declined to release a copy. An FBI warning savs the letters demand that governors leave office within three davs or be removed. The group ·s \\'cb site says it wants to restore America by peacefully dismantling parts of the government. Investigators do not see threats of violence itl the letters but are concerned they could prompt violence by others. As of Wednesday. more than 30 governors had received letters saying if they don't leave office with in three days they will be removed. according to an internal intelligence note by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The note was obtained by The Associated Press. The FBI expects all 50 governors will eventually receive such letters. Governors whose offices reported getting the letters included Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, Jennifer Granholm of Michigan. Bobby Jindal of Loutsiana. Chet Culver of fowa. Dave Heineman of Nebraska. Jim Gibbon~ of Nevada. Brad Henry of Oklahoma. Mike Rounds of South Dakota. Bob McDonnell of Virginia. and Gary Herbert of Utah. where offi- cials stepped up security in response to the letter. The FBI warning comes at a time of heightened attention to far-right extremist groups after the arrest of nine Christian militia members last weekend accused of plotting violence. In explaining the letters sent to the governors. the intelligence note says officials have no specific knowledge of plans to use violence. but they caution police to be aware in case otper individuals interpret the letters ·•as a justification for violence or other criminal actions." The FBI associated the Jetter with "sovereign citizens.'' most of whom believe they are free from all duties of a U.S. citizen, like paying taxes or needing a government license to drive. A small number of these people are armed and resort to violence, according to the intelligence report. JFS from Page Al commitment to have all of our eligible children covered in the next five years.'' Part of the process to identifv those children is presuniptive clig1bility. That is also the portion that causes concern for officials at Gallia County Department of Jobs and Family Services. Under presumptive eligibility. applications for children under the age of 19. \vho reside in Ohio. are U.S. citizens and have a family gross income of no more than 200 percent of the federal poverty level must be consiJered immediate!\· for coverage based on the iilformation~ within the application. Should the child appear to be eligible based on the self- declaration of information. the child's medical coverage would be valid for 60 days until the caseworker has an opportunity to fully process the application. Those who falsify the application can face felony charges. Gallia County Job and Family Services Director Dana Glassburn discussed the changes with the Gallia County ~ Board of Commissioners during the regular meeting on Thursday. "We both know that \;Ve don't have enough workers in our office now to be able to fonnally determine eligibility in that 60-day win~ dow.'' said Commission President Joe Foster. who asked Glassburn what hap- pens if the application is not approved or denied within that 60 days. Glassburn said. if the application is not processed within that 60 days. another presumptive medical application will be approved. Glassburn is hoping the changes in the reapplication process will help to relieve. in the long run. ·orne of the pressure his statf will face. Before April I. clients had to reapply every six months. The State has cha!'lged that requirement to every 12 months. ':The presumptive eligibility will assist children in Gallia County by providing quick coverage which is a great benefit for the children,'' said Glassburn. "However. the additional process places a heavier work load on a significantly reduced staff. Remember, Gallia CDJFS reduced their staff by 49 percent in August 2009 due to funding cuts. The reduction significantly hampered the tum around in determining eligibility and processing applications which is being echoed across the county by those in desperate need of our services. The presumptive process will result in further delays in processing due to additional work required beginning April 1, 20 I 0." Following layoffs in August 2009, cases nearly doubled for the remaining caseworkers at Gallia DJFS. Ohio will repottedly qualify for a federal bonus for implementing the program.

Meigs County calendar Dear Dr. Brothers: l ran into a woman I used to work with the other day. I was astounded to see how much weight she'd lost. and I told her how great she looked I should have stopped there. When [ asked her how she did it. she replied. "I got cancer.'' I was m01tified. to sa] the least. This situation is in the past now, and it turns out she has recovered. I'm ju-;t looking for some advice as to how to gracefully remove my foot from my mouth in the future. I always seem to do stuff like this! - I.B. Dear I.B.: When we find ourselves constantly putting our foot in our mouth. it might be time to sit down and try to evaluate just what kind of style we have in qur relationships with others and what kind of style we'd like to have. Then it is a bit easier to think of some steps to get us there. From what you have told me. I would guess that you are a warm. curious and outgoing person, and sensitive enough to notice that you sometimes say the wrong thing and offend people. Or perhaps you· ve had such strong reactions from people that you have lost ftiendships or never made them because of your "big mouth." In any case. you certainly can turn this around. It won't ., happen overnight. but if you try to take conscious control of your situation. I believe you will see some immediate and even lasting improvement. The main step you need to take is to become ·an observer and a listener. Before you thrO\\ yourself into every conversation. give yourself some time to get the gist of what's happening, and try to be a bit more passive. Let the other person lead with topics. and you follow. As you take vour conversational cues from others. you should begin to feel more comfortable about how you're doing.

Thought for Today: "The only sure thing about luck is that it will change."- Bret Harte, American author and journalist (1836-1902). ,., Results and process both matter Before and after the House of Representatives· historic vote on health-care reform. one of the more interesting debates in Washington involved not the package itself, but how it came to a vote. Do Americans care about a congressional process that even President Obama labeled "ugly.'' or will they as the Democratic leadership hopes focus on the substance of what the House passed? Like so many "either/or" questions that get kicked around wherever the nation's political class likes to gather. the answer is undoubtedly "both:' Those who believe that Americans don't notice or don't care about ho\\ things get done are deluding themselves; those who are pinning the1r electoral hopes on widespread disgust with horse trading and am1-twisting forget the power of enacting legislation that will change the lives of many millions of people. Members of Congress often argue - in the recent past. it has come up especially when attention turns to ethics reform - that voters are far more focused on policy than they are on process. But long before the health-care debate. it was clear this just wasn't so. Extensive polling and interviews during the 1990s by two University of Nebraska political scientists registered great interest in. and concern about. how Congress conducts its business. In particular. this work found. people wanted the legislative process to be fair. and they wanted all concerned to play by the rules; they were especiall) leery of any tilt in favor of lobbyists or members of Congress looking out primat·ily for themselves. This basic American value of fairness cam back to burn the Democratic leadership earlier this year after details emerged of the deal it struck \\ith Sen Ben Nelson of Nebraska to secure his vote on the Senate versiOn of health care - federal funding for the cost of Medicaid ous appeal. ~ There, of course.lies the rub.

McACT to perform mystery play Bv HOPE RousH HROUSH@ MYDAILYREGISTER.COM POINT PLEASANT. W.Va. -As the weather warms up. people often find themselves looking for something to do. · And the ~Jason County Actors Community Th~atre (McACT) is bringing entertainment to the area with their latest play. entitled "You Know the Old Slaying." The play, written by Michael Jascot and co-directed by Ron Siders and Lori Killion. is described as an audience participation mystery/comedy play. · Rather than performing at a single venue, McACT will bring the play to different areas of the county. According to Nancy Mayes, McACT member. the group decided to do a traveling play as an effort to get more people involved in the organization. "The troop McACT was just doing productions at the State Theater and we were not really reaching all of Mason County. so we decided to take the play out to the different towns in Mason County;· Mayes said. "We are hoping to attract more people from the community to the organization. Our goal was always to involve everyone in the county - (McACT) was never intended to just be for Point Pleasant." Those who attend the play will certainly be involved as it relies on audience participation. According to Mayes, the play is best suited for an adult audience. . "The audience will be very involved. If someone gets killed. then the audience will need to determine the murderer. The outcome of each play depends on who the audience chooses," Mayes said. adding that each petformance could be different. Proceeds from the play will go toward the organization and their eventual goal of purchasing the Historic State Theater. McACT also wants to expand the group. According to Mayes. people from the local area can partie· ipate, including those from surrounding counties. Both children and adults arc encouraged to take part in the organiLatiun. ··we want it to be a family oriented group as much as possible - we want to reach out to everyone to join," Mayes said. "Acting gives you a new experience. A lot of people who haven't acted before have found that it is something they love through acting in our plays." In addition to acting, the group is in need of stage hands as well as people to yvork on scenery and costuming. McACT typically performs two plays a year. In the past they have done a children's production with Hansel and Gretel as well as an old fashioned, showboat style play. Mayes said that she would like to see a large crowd at the mystery play's perfonnances. "I hope that people in these small towns will come out and enjoy a new ex~erience with the play ... We think if they come and watch that they ,will like it and will come see our other productions:· she added. Play performances will be 7:30p.m., Thursday. April 8 at the Harmon Park Youth Center in Point Pleasant; 7:30p.m., Saturday. April I 0 at the Mason City Hall Annex in Mason; and 7:30 p.m., Thursday. April 15 at the River Bend Community Center in New Haven. Admission is $5, and the play is produced by a special atTangement with Heur Publishing LLC of Cedar Rapids, Iowa .

Lauron/Columbus Dlspatch!MCT Ohio State's Evan Turner (21) celebrates after making a 3· point shot against Michigan to win a quarterfinal game at the Big Ten Conference Tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) As Evan Turner clutched his trophy and posed for yet another photo, he couldn't escape a little ribbing. "That going to fit at home?" Ohio State teammate David Lighty said Friday as Turner walked past with The Associated Press player of the year award. ''This is going to be a window ornament." Turner shot back as both laughed. lt's got to he a good feeling to receive almost every player of the year honor and have a couple of teammates make a 2 l/2-hour drive to see you get the latest one as part of the Final Four festivities. "They have been there for me my whole career, and they are here now,'' Turner said. "They really are family, and this shows it." Turner, a 6-foot-7 junior swingman who averaged 20.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists, received 54 votes from the 65-member national media panel. Kentucky freshman John Wall was second with nine votes. Syracuse's Jim Boeheim was selected the AP's coach of the year, receiving 39 votes, while Kansas State's Frank Martin was next with eight. Lighty and Dallas Lauderdale never hesitated about making the 175-mile drive from Columbus. Ohio, to see the presentation. "He told us he was getting this. and we said we'd come.'' said Lauderdale. who quickly added neither he nor Lighty missed class to be there. There weren't many people who thought Turner would win national honors after he broke two bones in his back when he fell after a dunk on Dec. 5. .. He missed six games which the Buckeyes split then he returned to lead them to the Big Ten title and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. ··y was going to be as cautious as I possibly could to make sure he was I 00 percent when he came back,'' Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "He would sit and watch practice. dribbling the ball around his chair, between his legs. He was diligent in his work ethic and~did a great job." Turner said awards were the last thing on his mind during those weeks when he was forced to watch his teammates get ready for the conference season. "I just wanted to get back to my team and be the same player I was." said Turner. who hasn't yet decided \vhether he will return for his senio1' season. "I started understanding more that life throws you curveballs. and sometimes it builds a better person in how you deal with that."

'"We· ve scored three runs in four ball games and you don't win very many games that way," said Rio Grande head coach David Pyles.

I think Wyatt, probably has more of the talents and more of a soccer mind than the other two, not discrediting the other two." Morrissey added. "Wyatt was someone from the first training session I watched at the summer camp - I could tell right away he had a lot of good qualities about him." Smith added that his prior relationship with the coaching staff through club ball and the summer camps was a key reason for his signing with Rio Grande. He mentioned that he had some familiarity with the campus and university life as he had an older brother who attended Rio Grande. "I know both of the coaches and the campus. the team and the university because my olde. brother is an alum." he said All three • players dis cussed their strengths and weaknesses. '"My strengths are set pieces, crossing and knowledge of the game," Smith said. "I need to work on my defense, off the ball movement and physical presence.'' "I think I· m a pretty good finisher, but I need to learn to be a smarter soccer player."' Kuhner said. "My best assets are my speed and knowledge."' Jenkins said. "l need to work on my (physical) presence and movement off the ball." Morrissey likes the fact that Smith is a left-footed player. "One of the biggest things is that he is a leftfooter. he's got great delivery of the ball and he really does have a great mind for the game," he said." ''Tyler is a great athlete· someone that is going to b able to get behind defenses and he's going to be able to stretch defensive teams just because of his pace and \vork ethic." Morrissey added. "We're really excited about all three of the boys." ·They come from a real good background. obviously good parental support and the kind of players you want to have in a program." Morrisse\ said. ··so we're definite!} excited to have all three of them." All three aim to become better soccer players while at Rio Grande. "I want to try to be a helpful player on the first team." Jenkins said. "My goal is to become a better player than I am now," Kuhner said. ''Also. if poss1ble. become an AllAmetican ." ''Mv goal is to become a vital roie on the first team .... Smith said. Smith plans to major i nursing. Jenkins is set to pursue a degree in accounting and Kuhner will be majoring in Radiologic Technology. Jordan is the son of Don & Georgia Jenkins of Kingston.

However. unlike the famous swallows of San Juan Capistrano or the buzzards that return every year to nkley, there are few peothat mark the return of ulturcs to Syracuse ... partly because they never actually seem to leave. ' For some reason Syracuse seems to attract these large scavenging bird~: perhaps the little. river-side community is slightly warmer than surrounding areas due to the river and southern exposure (perhaps this also explains the presence of mistletoe in so many of the trees). but for whatever reason they do seem fond of that particular bedroom community (Yes. 1 realize they are in Middleport and Pomeroy as well). However. unlike'our annual feeder birds and song birds. most people aren't too thrilled when vultures show up at their home. Vultures are large birds and, let's face it. rather ugly. Plus they're just flat-out epy. like they're waiting ' you to keel over when u step outside your house; they're commonly depicted in cartoons circling over some ill-fated guy crawling on his hands and knees through the desert. Their dietary habits are somewhat repulsive as well. being associated with dead or dying animals. commonly roadkill. Once I saw a row of vultures sitting atop a line of fence posts, all facing the road standing there with their wings outstretched. Sure they were just drying out or warming their wings. but they definitely looked eerie. like something out of a horror movie. a t In the Open Jim Freeman Most of the vultures in our area are turkey vultures; no doubt you are familiar with them - large black and gray birds with bare red heads commonly seen from a distance as they soar gracefully. riding the air currents. The photos of the birds in Syracuse however show a· different species: the black vulture. The black vulture is also a very large bird. just slightly smaller than the turkex vulture. and. as the name suggests. mostly black. The head and neck of the black vulture is feather-Jess and dark gray in color. Black vultures range from Uruguay and Chile in South America up into the southern United States. Ohio is at the \·ery northern end of the black vulture's range. Like the turkey vulture, black vultures also roost in large groups, and sometimes turkey vultures and black vultures will fly together. The black vulture is a "sight hunter," meaning it relies on its vision to locate food. However, black vultures often rely on turkey vultures, which can locate food by smell, to lead them to their next meal. Unfortunately, there is one other key difference. Have you ever seen the cartoon photo of two vultures sitting in a tree where one is saying to the other says. "Patience my (exple- CLEVELAND (AP) -tive deleted).

"The pain was getting worse and worse and \vorse~ but I had to realize that the reason why l was playing through it was because I wanted to have the ability to win a national championship:· he said.

Michigan State coach Tom lzzo didn't try to sway Roe either way. but he checked why he was making his decision. "He came to make sure. is that really what I wanted to do." Roe said. "He knew it was going to be a hassle to go through all of the things I was going to have to go through.'' But Roe decided after a loss to Ohio State on Feb. 2l 'that he was going to give his best, even if it was less than before. "You realize that, this is not going to be my last moment out here," he said. ''I'm going to get better, I'm going to oet healthy.

"I didn't even really know his knee was hurting until the Maryland (Sweet 16) game. I don't think he likes to play through pain, but he wants to help the team win." The pain, though. has made him a shadow of his former self. He won several national awards a~ an underclassman at St. Edward High School in Euclid, Ohio. but missed all but one game his senior year with a knee injury. He had microfracture surgery. but recovered in time to start 3 I of 38 oames as a freshman at Michigan State. He averaged 5 .6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. He has played hurt for most of this season. It isn't the same injury as he had in high school, though it is to the same knee. Mark Cornelison/Lexlngton Herald-Leader/MCT· West Virginia head coach Bobby Huggins talks with Darryl Bryant as they practice in preparation for the NCAA Final Four semifinals on Friday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. .. WV's love affair with :: Mountaineers runs deep_ Chuck Liddy/Raleigh News & Observer/MCT Coach Mike Krzyzewski of Duke watches his team against Purdue in the first half at the NCAA South Regional on Friday at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. Huggins, Krzyzewski.back at Final Four 1!\:DIA:-\APOLIS (AP) On one bench. there·s Bob Huggins. a coach who has dealt with an NCAA investigation. suffered a heart attack. been arrested for our. endured the stain of a zero-percent graduation rate and the tumult of two contentious job changes. On the other, there's Mike Krzyzewski. a coach making hts II th Final Four appearance who has more or less defined modern-day stability - and solid citi1enship in college sports. So whv is it Coach K who's been takine all the ~ heat lately? Well, such is life when you're the coach at Duke and your program - the program you built and recruited all the talent to cloesn 't make the Final Four for five straight seasons. "People expect us to always be at this stage," Blue Devils fonvard Lance Thomas said Friday. the last day of practice before the games begin. Duke's return to the Final Four, where the Blue Devils (33-5) will play West Virginia in Saturday's second semifinal. has quieted a growing cadre of skeptics. Since 2004, when the Blue Devils lost to Connecticut rn the national semifinals. KrLy.wwski has kept the talent coming in and won four ACC tournament and two regular-season titles. But during that span. Duke hadn't advanced past the NCAA reg10nal semifinals until this year. That, combined with the two national championships North Carolina has won in the same span. has certainly made it easier to criticize a program that already has its share of haters. Naturally, job security is of no concern to Coach K, in his 30th year at Duke. He insists he's listened to very little of the critiquing outside of what the people in his own circles tell him. and the only time he, or anyone. should feel pressure is when they're in over their head. "1 think pressure is when you· rc asked to do something you· re not capable of doing," Krzyzewski said. "So you should train and be 111 a position where you· re capable of doing what people ask of you. And if you· re continually feeling pressure, you should probably try to do something you can do." Duke has done it this year with a very un-Duke-like combination - one that includes lots of height, statting with 7-foot-1 Brian Zoubek. plenty of rebounding and defense and nary a superstar. The program that gave us Grant Hill. Shane Battier. Christian Laettner. Jason Williams and dozens more NBA players has produced a 2010 team with pro talent. but no lottery picks - a team with players who can score and defend but nobody \Vho dominates nightly. The man who turned it rnto Final Four material: Krzyzewski. who insists he never let the criticism get to him. "I think everyone feels pressure. but not the pressure from the outside," he "aid. "It's the pressure from within. to do as well as you think you can do." Facing Krzyzcwski on the other bench will be Huggins. who has brought West Virginia (31-6) back to the Final Four for the first time since I 959 and rs making his first appearance since I 992, when he was with Cincinnati. An 18-year drought would gnaw at most coaches. a hyper-competitive bunch. But the 56-year-old Huggins insists he hasn't spent much time ·_ any time. really during that span wondering if he would make it back or wonying about his shortcomings. "Not really." he said, when asked if there's anything specific that eats at him. "I can't say I worry about our guys. because our guys are really good guys. I want them to be successful and do well. But I've never lived my life worrying." If he did. there· d be plenty of material to choose from. An abridged look at the list includes the 0.0-percent graduation rate at Cincinnati for se\'eral seasons and the heart attack in 2002. He ran what was widely viewed a rogue program, cited by the NCAA for the dreaded "lack of institutional control" in 1998. But "Huggy Bear" didn't get chased from the Cincy sideline until he started fighting with the school president after his 2004 DUI arrest was caught on vioeo. Though beloved at West Virginia. Huggins remains a divisive figure in Cincinnati, where mernoiies of his bad temper, along with the other baggage. are :-till vivid. The fact that the Bearcats haven't enjoyed near the ~uccess since his departure plays into the mix. ''I had countless opportunities to leave and didn't want to because I didn't want to leave the city, the people, and more specifically, I didn't want to lose my players." said Huggins. who was forced out after 16 years. After the tough ending in Cincinnati, his faith in school administration was restored during a single season at Kansas State. Despite the positive experience. he bolted when his alma mater came calling. West Virginia spo11s are more than simple games in that state, and not surprisingly, any program with a half-century drought will be patient with a hometown boy who returns. Huggins rewarded the faithful quickly, and has done it with little of the trouble that followed him earlier in his career. Only three years into the job. he found a group of players. led by Da'Sean Butler. who buy into his mantra: 'Do What We Do," and don't try to do too much. "He came in and said. 'I'm going to turn you into my guys,"' Butler said. "He said. ·You're going to be guys who play hard. defend. rebound. things like that."' They are. As are Krzyzewski's boys at Duke. It's a matchup of two coaches who have ended droughts - long by Coach K 's standards, nothing to worry about the way Huggins ~ees it. ''They say it balances out," Huggins said. "If it ~alances out. we :;hould be m great shape - if the people who say that {now what they're talking about.'' Awards among active coaches.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Sometimes at Hinkle Fieldhouse, you can see haze in the air from dust that can never quite be cleaned up. The court creaks a bit in places - the man who hit the most famous shot here calls it sensitive. And the sunlight that sometimes shines onto the floor through those huge windows? ''That's homecourt advantage,'' Butler's assistant athletic director Carl Heck says with a wry grin. Magic has happened in this venerable building, from the 1954 high school showdown that inspired "Hoosiers" to the undefeated homecourt record that Butler put up on its run to this weekend's Final Four just a few miles away. The ''Old Barn" just has that feeling, more than a movie, a building or a floor. For decades, it was the court of dreams in Indiana. "It was such a wonderful place to play in," said Oscar Robertson, who won two state championships there. ''It was so mystical." Gordon Hayward. whose grandson, Gordon. is the star of the Bulldog team, knows it. "It's historic, a beautiful facility,'' the elder Haywar-d says. "You know. my grandson had offers from other schools, like Purdue and Michigan, but he chose to come here because he thought they had the best facility." In "Hoosiers.'' coach Norman Dale of the smalltown Hickory Huskers realizes his players are in awe when they arrive at the 15 ,000-seat fieldhouse. HopiQg to calm them down before the state championship, he pulls out a tape measure an{! asks them to check the height of the baskets. When they realize that the rims are 10 feet high. just like the ones back home, they relax. A scene like that never ·happened, says Bobby Plump, the real-life version of Jimmy Chitwood who made the game-winning shot for little Milan in the 1954 Indiana state final. But his team's awe of the building was real. His first experience with it came when coach Marvin Wood took the Indians there before a state tournament game in 1953. "Woody walked us by the floor, and all of us just stopped,'' Plump, now 73, said. "You know. that place was mammoth. and especially from down home. It just got quiet for a little bit, and Bob Engel, one of our players, looked around and said 'You could put a lot of hay in this place, couldn't you?' That kind of broke the ice." Milan lost in the semifinals that year. but roared through postseason play the next year. The Indians beat a young Robertson and his Indianapolis Crispus Attucks squad on the way to the championship. The southeast Indiana school an hour's drive west of Cincinnati, enro·IJment 161, squared off in that title game with Muncie Central, a school 10 times its size. It was only possible because Indiana's single-class system allowed the smallest of schools to dream the biggest of dreams. Excitement about the Indians had grown because of their postseason run in '53. so the crowd was in their corner. · Milan led 23-17 at halftime, but Central dominated the third quarter and tied the game heading into the fourth . Milan called a timeout with 18 seconds left and the score tied at 30. Plump dribbled near the midcourt circle. then advanced as time wound down. He cur hard to his right, pulled up and drained a 15-footer to win the championship. The fans were delirious. "I only had 10 points against Muncie Central," Plump says now. "It was the worst game I had in two years of tournament play, MCI photo Members of the Butler Bulldogs are cheered on by fans at Hinkle Fieldhouse during a sendoff rally on Wednesday. but it's the one everybody Hoosier Basketball remembers."

Browns get cs·Brown, LB Gocong from Eagles CLEVELAND (AP) While their be t defensive pla)er was spending a nigHt in jail. the Cleveland Bro\\ ns got some help for one of the NFL's worst units. The Browns acquired cornerback Sheldon Brov. n and linebacker Chris Gocong in a trade with tht.: • Philadelphia Eagles for linebacker Alex Hall and two draft picks on Friday The fourth- und fifth-round sclect10ns arc the Nos. 105 and 137 overall in this month's three-day draft. The deal was announced as Browns nose tackle Shaun Rogers - a threetime Pro Bowler - was apologizing after being arrested for trying to carry a loaded hand gun onto a pJ.me. Rogers wa~ charged Friday with the fourthdegree felony of carrymg a concealed \\ eapon, then posted bond and was released from jail. Rogers, who has a license in •Michigan to carry a gun, said he was ''truly rt.:morsefu I" and that he forgot the •.veapon \vas in the bag. But time stops for nothing in the NFL. and the Browns agreed to terms of the deal pending physicals. A Browns spokesman confirmed the trade but said the team will not comment until the physicals are completed. Cleveland general mana!:!cr Tom· Heckert, who spent the previous four seasons a~ Philadelphia's G~l. returned to his roots to continue an overhaul of the BrO\vns' defense, wh1ch ranked last in the AFC last season and gave up less yardage than only the Detroit Lions. Brown, a former Pro Bowler who hasn't missed a game since becoming a full-time starter in 2004. will likely move into Cleveland's starting lineup on the opposite side of Eric Wright, who made 16 st:trts last season at left cornerback. Brandon McDonald made six sta11<; on the right side. wi~h Mike Adams getting the other six. Brov. n wanted a new contract from Ph1ladelphia last season. and 1t is believed the trade was contingent .upon lum getting a deal from the Browns. Despite his unhappiness over the contract, Brown played through a hamstring injury Jast year and recordt.:d a career-best five interceptions. A :-.econd-rmu)d pick in 2002, he and Lito Sheppard replaced veterans Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor after the 2003 season. They played a key role in helping the Eagles reach the 2005 Super Bowl. Gocong started 35 games in four seasons wtth Philadelphia. He had just stgned a one-year deal. "Sheldon Brown has been a 'er) good football pla)er for the Eagles over the last eight years." Eagles coach Andv Reid said. "He's a good person. a legitimate tough guy and he'll do a good job helping the Browns. Chris did a good job converting from defensive end to linebacker and helped us win a lot of football games. We wish both of them all of the best." Coming off a 5-11 season under first-year coach Brie Mangini, Heckert and new team president Mike Holmgren have been busy t·eshaping the Browns. Hall's departure follows those of quarterbacks Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson and linebacker Kamerion Wimbley. the team ·s top pass rusher. The Browns reached when thev selected Hall out of Div1sion II St. Au~wstine in the seventh round in 2008. Physically gifted. he showed promise in recording three sacks as a rookie but mostly played on spe-• cial teams last season and finished with just four tackles . "Alex Hall is a big, athletic linebacker who we've . had our eyes on over the last couple of years and he 'II have a chance to compete at the SAM linebacker spot." Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said. -The Browns ~till have 10 picks in the draft. but the arri\ al of Brown could change their early round strateg). The team has shown a strong interest in Tennes~ee safety Eric Berry and Florida cornerback Joe Haden and has v1stts planned with both players. Brown is the latest veteran to depart Philadelphia this offseason. Former AllPro running back Brian Westbrook. former All-Pro guard Shawn Andrews, linebacker Will Witherspoon, defensive end Darren Howard and wide receiver Kevin Curtis were released. Despite that trend. Roseman insisted the Eagles aren't rebuilding after an 11-5 finish and playoff loss to Dallas. "We're trying to win. we're always trying to win." Roseman said. "For us. this was a football decision. We're excited about some of the players on our team and we're excited about the quality of this draft." Ellis Hobbs. acquired last year from New England. steps into Brown's spot. Hobbs is coming off neck surgery and probably will have to win the starting role in training camp. He started every game when the Patriots went 16-0 in 2007. "It's an opportunity for Ellis Hobbs to step up and contribute to our defense," Roseman said . "We like Elli::. Hobbs. We think he's a good starting corner in this league and we feel we have other plc;yers on this team that can step into that spot and contribute.'' COLUtviBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio State coach Jim Tressel ha:. a difficult time keeping track of just how far quarterback Terrcllc Prvor has come. :.Today I was trying to close my eyes and think back to last spring,'' Tressel said Thursday after the Buckeyes' first spring workout. "lie just seemed to have a little bit more confidence than ht.: did a year ago at this time." With good reason. Pryor grew into the job last year as the fifth-ranked Buckeyes went 11-2, won an outright Big Ten title and then beat Oregon in the Rose Bowl. The 6-foot-6, 235-pound Pryor did not appear to have any limitations during the 2-hour workout in ~unshine and tell)peratures around 70 degrees. He underwent surgery on his left knee two months ago to clean out damage sustained during an Oct. 31 victory ·over New Mexico State. Pryor, who will be a junior this fall, suffered a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament But after intensive rehab over the pa~t eight weeks he appeared to have no restrictions in movement. Perhaps of larger concern for the Buckeves is whether he continues to develop after being thrust into the job two years ago. He played well at times and not so well at others a year ago, with Ohio State playing its best football coming down the stretch when he spent most of his time handing off to the running backs. After not throwing more than 17 passes in each of his previous five games, Pryor completed 23 of 37 passes for 266 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while being named MVP of the Rose Bmvl. He also led the Buckeves in rushing with 72 yards for 338 yards of total offense. Pryor was not available to speak after the first practice. But Tressel said he was Impressed with the steady improvement his quarterback has made. Jeff Hinckley/Columbus Dispatch/MeT Ohio State coach Jim Tressel advises quarterback Terrelle Pryor (2) during the first quar~ ter of an NCAA football game against Minnesota. Ohio State defeated Minnesota, 38-7 at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, October 24, 2009. "People like to use, 'Did the switch go on?' or 'Did the light go on?' I'm not sure I've ever seen that,'' said Tressel. starting his I Oth year with the Buckeyes. ''Is the light getting brighter? Yeah. You can see that. Did it take an extra step of brightne~s through the bowl preparation and bowl performance. I think so. But it's got to keep getting brighter." This should prove to be an interesting 15 practices this spring for the Buckeyes. They welcome back nine starters on offense and six more on defense. Early projections have them ranked among the top handful of teams in the nation. They must replace safeties Kurt Coleman and Anderson Russell, defensive end Thaddeus Gibson and linebacker Austin Spitler. Jermale Hines and Ohrian Johnson, both of whom showed flashes of good play a year ago, should fill in the spots in the secondary. Even without Gibson, the Buckeyes still have a big-time talent on the line in Cameron Hey\~ ard. who muiJed going to the NFL a year early. ''I'm definitely happy with what I've done so far. but I'm not satisfied,·· Heyward said. "I still want a national championship. _I think everybody on this team does. We've been there two times before (losses after the 2006 and 2007 seasons), but there's still a lot to accomplish on this team." There arc several candidates to take over _Spitler's vacant spot. including Etienne Sabino and Storm Klein. The newbie will be helped along b) the presence of holdover starters at linebacker Brian Rolle and Ross Homan, both :-.cniors. "We've got some experience, but the depth is going to be critical." co-defensive coordinator Jim Heacock g. said. ''The young guys are really going to have to come on fast. They've to learn a Jot, they've got Jearn the defense. We were fortunate last year we had a lot of older guys in the two~ deep."

This one is at the Middleport First Baptist Church. Photos by Charlene Hoeflich and Andrew Carter This stained glass mural of Jesus Christ praying is the centerpiece of the sanctuary at First Baptist Church in Gallipolis . • • For over 70 years this lighted cross on Lincoln Hill in Pomeroy has been a beacon in the night to travelers in the Bend Area. It was put there by Trinity Church. These three paintings grace the walls of the teen room at First Church of the Nazarene in Gallipolis. The portrait of the crucifixion of Christ was painted by Jason Queen, a Christian performance artist and Gallia County native. The other two were drawn and painted by youth group members from First Church of the Nazarene. The message of these three crosses looated on a 11111 near Racine Is one of sacrifice, compassion and hope eternal. They were put there by the Rev. Bernard Coffindaffer, a part of his project to spread the gospel.

In observance of Social Work Month in March. your Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. (AAA 7), recogni7es these special individual..., who work together to achieve the Agency's Mission: "Assistin!! individual..; to maintain~ independence and personal choice by providing resource options and services. Social Workers often work in positions and organi~:ations that allow them to see the full impact of a larger soda! problem .. in a community. Many are driven to launch and lead efforts that address the root of such problems. 'These dedicated individuals arc who the National Association of Social Workers (-NASW) seeks to honor this March with the theme - "Social Workers Inspire Community Action.'' Most soc1al workers serve individual:;. and families, providing resources and guidance that support social functioning. Through the Area Agency on Aging Di-;trict 7, social workers cover a wide range of SCI'\ ICC) tO individuals in the Agency's IO·county Di . . trict which includes Adams, Brown, Gallia. Highland. Jackson, II • Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Social Workers with the AAA 7 wear many. different hats and take on a variety of roles including advocate, assessor, case manager, consultant, information sharer, and referrer. Social workers conduct these functions for the many programs available through the Agency that provide individuals with assistance to support independent living in thei-r own home. Social workers recommend and refer these individuals to services like personal care/homemaking. adult day care, assisted living, home repair. transportation. home-delivered meals. and client advocacy in order for them to remain safely and independently as possible in their home. Residents in the District's I 0-county area who call the Agency's toll-free number at (800) 582-7277 can talk directly with a nurse or social worker who will assist them with information surrounding the programs and services that are available to best serve their needs. Social workers in the Agency assist with this process b) serving as a facilitator to assist seniors with these services, determining \\'hat i.s best for their situation while assuring foliO\v-through and follow-up. NASW Executive Dr rector Elizabeth J. Clark. PhD, AC'3W. MPH. says that the 2010 Social Work Month theme underscores the Association's focus this year on leadership development. "We have so manv inspiring leaders to look tC.) in our profession's history as we plan for the future. Others may think and talk about problems. but social workers do something to change the systems that perpetuate them. Social workers help Americans succeed," she said. ·•·we applaud and salute our social workers throughout our Agency during National Social Work Month in March." stated Pamela K. Matura. Executive Director for the Area Agency on Aging District 7. Inc. "Through their hard work and dedication. seniors in our region have the resources that make it possible for them to I i ve safe! y and securelX in their own homes.

It was an article about a Rutland man by the name of J. Minter Black vvho in 1893 wrote the words and music to "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder." Congregations today still sing that hymn, !t's popularit) never wanmg. The story made referenc. to an article in Th Middleport Republican describing Black as a "a music teacher of considerable note,. and a descendant of one of the most prominent families in Rutland .

DESIGN INTERVENTION• Last week I wrote about visiting the Smith Brothers Furniture showroom in Fort Wayne Indiana and I promised to tell you all about what I experienced the next day in Berne, Ind .. at the factory where it is crafted. Here goes ... Upon entering the actual plant where this fine furniture is crafted, I noticed that it was much lighter and brighter than I had expected. The word "plant" of "factory" conjures up images of dark and dreary and well, to be perfectly honest, "stinky"! I was surprised. It was wonderfully light and the sweet earthy fragrance of a lumber yard filled the air. Yes. REAL wood. Nothing pressed. packed. or molded into something to resemble wood, The first stop was at a machine where rough lumber was examined and cut so that all of the imperfections were gone and into sizes that could be used to create the finished product. This was all done by a combination of computer generated scanning and real people who helped move things along. I noticed throughout the entire tour that this was a combination that worked well for Smith Brothers. to get the optimum craftsmanship possible. The perfection of comptiter generated size and scale coupled with the true handcraftsmanship of actual people. (Many who are Amish) The people who work there work as a team. This was the most amazing thing that I ha\e ever seen. These people work so v.ondetfully together to reach their goals. You can see the pride they take in ending with an exceptional piece of quality furniture. If something doesn't meet their standards (which are extremely high) it gets "thrown back" and of course it goe~ back to the person who didn't get it right, which in turn slows down everyone's production and makes it hard for them to reach their goals. Now you can imagine what the pressure is for getting it ·. Carla . Wamsley: ' right the first time, because: everyone gets bonuses If they reach those goalS .. There is so much going op between the rough pieces of lumber and the end of the, line that I could spenl day writing about it bu cut to the finished pro because the interestmg thing was that at the vecy end of production, there stand two people whose sole purpose is to sit in each and every seat and inspect every last detail of the fumi-: ture before it is allowed to' be loaded onto a truck.

When Dr. Christine Harris. Ph.D., was pregnant with her children. she had some of the very same questions. "My practitioners offered good care," she said, "but their answers to my questions about my baby's development always seemed vague." Like so many other women. she wondered what features were present at different stages and if her baby was processing any sensory information. She eventually found answers while researching a textbook. She realized that a lot of parents-to-be could benefit from this information, so she developed "The Pregnancy Journal" (Chronicle Books). Ti)e third edition of the best-selling book is fully revised with the latest medical information on both mom's health and the baby's development. "It's my hope that the journal will help parents-to-be feel knowledgeable, aware and comfortable about the process of their pregnancy and development of their baby before birth," she said. "It can also be a keepsake to share with your baby when he or she is older." With over 1 million copies sold. the journal is a day-by-day guide to what is happening during pregnancy. -There are also tips for coping with the many changes to a woman's body and p~aces to record notes, thoughts and feelings. This A to Z guide comes from information in the · journal and will give expectant parents a glimpse into what happens during this amazin~ time of life. Appetite. Day 57: You may find your appetite increasing now that some of the nausea and discomfort has stabilized. If food isn't your friend yet, look for some relief by week 17. Backache.

The White House is getting ready. putting on the finishing touches before the gates open and 30.000 men. women and children scramble to take part in the annual tradition. The Easter Bunny and more than 14,500 hard-boiled eggs are dyed and waiting. The event dates to I 878 and has a rich history. Tv.·o world wars and weather have caused the "eggcrtement.. to be canceled several times. The fun and games are at the president's home. but he isn't a! ways there to join the fun. The event is usually a signal that spring has arTived in the nation·s capital. Hl"!re are a few tales from White House Easter Egg Roll history. ••• It's long-standing polic)l.: ;-.Jo child or adult can attend alone. But decades ago in the I 930s. as the event grew more popular, kids ~and grown-ups alike figured out some "eggceptional.. ways around the rule. Children would mingle with tourists and others passing by the White House gates. and hoped they could talk someone into escorting them through security and into the festivities on the South Lawn. Eager to stroll the plush grounds. adults would dig into their purses and pockets to pay a nickel. a quarter or whatever the going rate was at the time to "adopt" a child long enough to get inside, too. Once past the guards. they often parted company. Sometimes. the kids headed back out through a different gate in search of another parent for hire - and more money for their pockets. The scam continued to such a degree that one newspaper headline in 1935 screamed: .. Children Outside Gates Turn Racketeer and Take Sunday Elders for a Nickel Fee," according to the National Archives. One 11-year-old boy said the five quarters he earned one Easter Monday helped pay the weekly rent for the rooms he lived in with his mother and three siblings. Secret Service agents were poste.d at the gates in 1939 to break up the racket. ••• Nowada)s, it takes more than just sweet talk to get into the "eggstravaganza." It takes a ticket. lt used to be that on the weekend before the Easter Egg Roll. anyohe who wanted tickets had to wait in line outside a booth near the White House. regardless of the weather. And getting a ticket was ,not guaranteed. But that changed under · President Barrick Obama and his wife. first lady Michelle Obama. For the first time last year - the Obamas' first in the White Hou~e tickets were distributed through an online lottery. The White House said it made the change to give more families from across the country a chance to participate in what is the longest annual presidential tradition on the South Lawn. It also mean people now can apply for tickets Nancy Stone/Chicago Tribune/MGT Mikayla Tyer, 2, of Ellicott. Maryland, stares down her egg during the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, Monday, April 13, 2009. from the comfort of their homes. ••• Public access to the South Lawn is as rare as sightings of the Easter Bunny. The White House grounds are ope.n to the average public just two weekends a year. for the spring and fall garden tours. It is open again for the Easter Egg Roll. which the only event where people get to walk across the meticulously tended South Lawn. ••• It's the White House Easter Egg RoiL but the fun and gam~e:s didn't originate at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The west front of the Capitol has a steep. grassy slope that made it an ideal venue for egg rolling. and children had been taking their colored eggs and rolling them down the hill there for years on Easter Monday. ' But after putting up with noisy children and watching them trample the grass, members of Congress decided they'd had enough. A bill passed and signed by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1876 banned stich activity to prevent .. injury'' to the Capitol grounds and grass. In 1877. it rained so hard that the egg roll was canceled. so the Capitol Police didn't have to enforce the new law. The officers would have no such luck the. following year. however. when chasing away basket-toting egg rollers a~ they arrived at the Capitol. . "Eggsasperated .. · egg rollers then headed west on Pennsylvania Avenue in search of an alternate site after word spread for them to go to the White House, according to the White House Historical Association. As the story goes. President Rutherford B. Hayes was out for his daily walk a few days before Easter in 1878 when a boy approached and asked Hayes if he'd let them roll eggs at the White House. The still-new president was not familiar with the tradition. partly because the event was rained out his first year in office. in 1877 . Hayes told the boy he· d check with his statf. Back at the White House. the president inquired about egg rolling. He instructed the staff to let the kids through the gates if they shov.:ed up on Easter Monday. and not to make a fuss. When Monday arrived. I the egg rollers did. too. The next year. on the of Easter in 1879. a no boy approached Hayes as e was walking to ask about egg ro!Hng at the White House. Hayes replied that he thou!!ht there would be no objection to it. · By 1880. however. no child bothered to check beforehand with Hayes.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A look at the White House Easter Egg rolling through the years: • CUE THE MUSIC: .Eleven years after the Easter Egg Roll became a White House tradition. President Benjamin Harrison added music in 1889. The United States ~arine Band. also known as ·'The President's Own:· played as children romped on the South Lawn. Band director John Philip Sousa. composer. of ·'The Star Spangled Banner... enjoyed treating them to rousing marches as they scampered about. He honored the occasion of the Easter Egg Roll with his composition. ··Easter Monday on the White House Lawn:· in 1929. • LET THE GAMES BEGIN: If it's Easter .\1onday. eggs~ are bei~g rolled across the White House South Lawn. But other e!!g games were played Xuring the affairs early years, such as egg ball, toss and catch. egg croquet and egg picking - in which eggs were pecked together unti I they cracked. After a few days. tl)e odor from all the broken eggs filled the air with a stench for at least a few miles. • FIRST EGG RACES: President Richard Nixon and first lady Patricia Nixon hosted the first egg roll races in 1974. They have become an Easter Monday favorite. • NO EGG ROLL: World War I and food rationing put the event on hold, scrambling it from 1917-1920. Egg rollers returned to the Capitol in 1942, from which they had been banished 64 years earlier. in 1878. World War II stopped the festivities again from I 943-1945. The event was canceled in 1984 because of rain. • TRUMAN-NO EGG ROLL: President Harry Truman did not host an Easter egg roll during his two terms in office. Food conservation effotts led him to cancel the affair from 1946-1947. • After that. White House renovations turned the South Lawn into a construction zone from 1948-1952. President Dwight D. Eisenhower revived the tradition in 1953, after a 12-year hiatus. • WHERE'S THE PRESIDENT? Several of Eisenhower's successors could not be at the White House on Easter Monday to greet the visiting egg rollers. President Gerald Ford resumed the tradition of presidential appearances at the. Easter Egg Roll in 1976 - making him the first chief executive to do so since Eisenhower played host in I 960. President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton. attended every egg roll of their eight years in the White House. President Barack Obama presided over last year's egg roll. his first. • TRINKETS: Patricia Nixon distributed certificates of participation as a souvenir to all egg rollers. First ladies Betty Ford and Rosalynn Carter distributed plastic eggs with printed notes inside from the first lady. I n 1981, President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan arranged a hunt for wooden eggs printed with the signatures of famous people. Wooden eggs soon became the official White House Easter Egg Roll keepsake. • WHITE HOUSE BUNNY: In 1969. a member of Patricia Nixon's stuff put on a white fleece costume with ears, and so was born the tradition of an official White House Easter Bunny. When the event was canceled in l 984 because of rain. Reagan's staff - led by the wife of Attorney General Edwin Meese. wearing a disguise - organized a tour through the White Ho.use as consolation. Goody bags also were distributed.

From container grown tomatoes to backyard fam1s. edible gardening is a growing trend. More than 41 million households grew some kind of vegetables, fruits, berries or herbs last year. according to the 2009 Edibles Gardening Trends Research Report conducted by the Garden Writers Association Foundation. The survey showed that the main reasons people grow their own food include: • to save money on food bills (54 percent) • for better quality food (51 percent) • • to grow food they know is safe (48 percent) · If you plan to grow your own produce, here arc some things to help you succeed. Create a Garden Plan Get~ng When looking through seed catalogs. or eyeing seedlings, it is tempting to get a little bit of everything. But you will have more fun and be more successful with some simple planning. Consider: In-Ground Gardening Preparing the Soil. Think of soil like a house's solid foundation: a garden need~ a strong..healthy base. Without good soil, plants can't thrive. • Mark out your garden, and dig the soil to a depth of six to eight inches. Remove any rocks, debris and weeds. Make sure to get all the weed roots to avoid reappearances. • Most soil is missing the nutrients that growing plants need. Improve your soil by digging in a mix of organic materials and slow-acting plant food, or by top-dressing with a soil mix made specifically for gardening in-ground or in raised beds. Soils such as Miracle-Gro Gardl!n Soil or Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Garden Soil amend your soil with needed nutrients. Rake a four-inch layer into your garden. Planting. Spring comes at ditferent times to every part of the country. Usually 60 degrees sig11als the end of large fluctuations between day and night temperatures. This temperature allows the soil to wam1 up, which is needed for germination and for young plants to take root and grow healthy. starting the season out right. While you're waiting, you can start some seeds indoors. or try early season plants that do well in cooler temperatures. • Easy season plants: spinach, salad greens and peas. • Things to start indoorsj tomatoes. peppers. celery, cauliflower, head lettuce, eggplant, broccoli. Brussels sprouts. • Plants to start indoors or out beans. peas. most lettuce, and com. • Root plants for only outdoors: canots. turnips. potatoes. parsnip:., etc. Once your seeds start to sprout, give baby plants a little extra room by transplanting into bigger pots. Then help .the transition with a taste of the great outdoors by putting the seedlings outside for a few hours at a time. This helps the plants get used to the new environment without suffering shock. To help prevent transplant shock and stimulate root growth, use a starting solution such as Miracle-Gro QuickStart. SPACE • How much room will your plants need to grow? Melons need space to stretch out long vines, while carrots don't take up much room. Will beans need a 5-foot trellis, or grow into 12-mch bushy plants'> • Ho\\ much room do you have? Do you want a I0 x 1O~foot plot: or would a smaller raised bed tit with your,outdoor entertainmg'! LIGHT • Most produce needs a minimum of six hours of sunlight in order to thrive. Take a few days figuring out where, when and how long the sun hits your gardening spot. PLANTS • Talk with your family about what they will eat. Pick some favorites to grow, then encourage everyone to try one new vegetable. • Make a sketch, drawing little circles to represent your plants. Use the spacing recommended on the seed packet or plant tag as a guide J~VESTMENT • Starting a garden is an investment, so think through your budget. Make a list: potting mix and garden soil, seeds and plants, plant food, and pots or materials for raised beds. • Consider the time needed to tend your garden. A few hours up front will get you started, then weekly watering, weeding and feeding during the !,'TOwing season and harvesting! Started Feeding and ·watering hen though the soil surface is wet or dry. you can't always tell what's going on below. Stick a long screwdriver into your garden soil. Jf it goe~ in easily, you've watered enough. Or purchase a mo1sture meter. To water effectiwly. do it • after planting • before leaves wilt • m the morning Once plant:> are established. make watering and feeding a regular routine. Just like your body needs nourishment. fertilizing- or feeding~ plants helps supplement the nutrients that the soil lacks, and encourages a bountiful har\est. Direct water and plant food at the base of the plant. Try plant foods such as Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed All-Purpose Plant Food, which continuously feeds your plants for up to 3 months, or feed and water at the same time through leaves and root:> with a product like ~ftracle-Gro LiquaFe~?d. Enjoying the Harvest Consider planting an extra plant or row of crop~ for your local food bank. Many food pantrb don't always otfer fresh produce.

There's a long history of soldiers growing plants in the extreme conditions of a war zone. "Trench Gardens" produced needed food as well as healing diversion for soldiers mired in the muck on both sides of the Western Front in World War 1. American prisoners of war cultivated "barbed wire gardens" to augment starvation rations and provide some mental escape_ during World War Il. . Most recently, such "defiant gardens" have cropped up at isolated combat outposts in Iraq and Afghanistan, much as they did around GI Quonset huts in the Vietnam of four decades ago. "Such gardens stand not in harmony with but in opposition to their locations. asserting their presence,'' writes Kenneth Helphand. a professor of landscape architecture at the University of Oregon. in his "Defiant Gardens: Making Gardens in Wartime" (Trinity University Press, 2006). "In extreme conditions. where the most extreme is war. death is all around.'' Helphand adds in an interview. "A garden then takes on meaning 'that goes well beyond our daily Jives:· Defiant gardening often isn't about food at all, Helphand says. Motivations vary. he said. but fall into five general areas: • Hope : "Planting is an optimistic act:' Helphand says. "You put a seed into the ground in anticipation it will grow. It takes time. attention and maintenance. There's a miracu- . Ions aspect. Hope is embodied in all that.'' • Life: "Gardens are alive. They provide a connection with nature and life's forces." • Home: "Gardens either are ptlrt of or an extension of home, or places where we've lived or would like to be." · • Work: ''It's something to do. The garden often is part of a person's identity and culture." • Beauty: "Gardens are beautiful. and in a time of crisis that beai.1ty is accentuated," Helphand says. "They're often strikingly dramatic when done in devastated areas." Gardening meant ··coming back down to Earth" for Bill Beardall. who was a Marine Corps helicopter pilot in Vietnam in 1970. Beardall flew H-53s, big cargo machines capable of carrying large payloads. That made them large targets. too. . "The longer we stayed 111-country. the more hyper we got," says Beardall, now director of Grounds Management and Fleet Services at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. ··our big helicopters drew a lot of fire; took a lot of hits. It \Vas always time to shut down after a tough day and there were lot<; of tough days. The garden did a lot for me. I'd go back to my hooch and just sit and stare at it.'' Justin Wanzek was with a North Dakota National Guard unit deployed near Tikrit, northwest of Baghdad, in 2004. He sta1ted gardening with a buddy in Iraq because it reminded him of his farming roots near Valley Cit). N.D. "Coming from North Dakota. everybody likes to stay busy, even when off-duty," Wantek says. "We were always planting or digging irrigation ditches by hand. Our garden ,was nothing big. but it reminded me of what once was and what someday would be again." And then there was the late John Creech, a World War II infantry officer who survived several German prisoner of war camps to become director of the U.S, National Arboretum in Washington in the 1970s. He jokingly introduced himself to Hclphand as "the only soldier ever awarded a medal for gardening." There was more to it than that, of cour~e: After being moved to a camp in Poland that had an unused greenhouse. Creech talked his captors into letting l}im operate it for raising edibles. His "barbed wire garden" supplemented a moldy bread and watered-down-soup tliet for I .500 fellow prisoners. It also earned him a Bronze Star for merit, which he was said to have valued more than the Silver Star won earlier for gallantry in acrion. "All such gardens were an as~ertive action, not a retreat:' Helphahd s<.tys. "Some gardens were attacks. There was a certain defiance about them." ' Gardeners gird for annual face-off with rabbits: BY DIANA MARSZALEK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS When Barbara Jenkins first moved to her home in New York's Hudson Valley, she fell in love with the wildlife. including the ··cute little bunnies" who romped so close. Several years and many nibbled gardens later. the fluffy-tailed hoppers were not quite so cute anymore. After watching the rabbits help themselves to her tomatoes and squash blossoms, Jenkins. of New City, erected a garden-protecting fence. which they adeptly found their way around. ~he sprinkled pepper flakes on the plants, which lasted only as long as the plants stayed dry. Planting marigolds which Jenkins heard repelled rabbits - didn't work either. "They just bypassed them and went right on in.'' she said~ Now that spring has officially sprung, home garden'ers throughout the country are starting to lovingly prep, plant and - hopefully protect their gardens.

Decide what it is that you want from a living fence and then select some flowcling shrubs (lilacs. quince. weigela). deciduous bushes (barberry. burning bush. spirea) or evergreens (arborvitae. boxwood. yews) to accomplish it. All provide a different look or serve a different purpose. from security to nourishment to sound abatement. And there's nothing wrong with blending varieties or even incorporating them into standard fencing.
