He has enrolled in college for the first time. pursuing a social work degree at Mountain State University. He tells his story at day report centers. in hopes he'll persuade younger people to avoid his mhtakes. And he plans on returning to the Capitol. This time. though. it won "t be as a politician. Schoonover, 55, is settmg up a political consulting firm to persuade his former colleagues in the Legislature that rehabilitation is a better solution for nonviolent criminals than jail time. On a recent visit to the Capitol, where he served first as a delegate then as a Clay County senator representing eight counties. Schoonover shows he sti II has the politician's touch. Clad in a West Virginia University polo shirt with a silver cross around his neck, he shakes hands with old friends, swaps stories and fields calls on hts cell phone. But on the subject of addiction. he quickly become!) serious. ''This is the first time in five years I can remember the whole summer," he says. "I lost everything I bud. I lost a beautiful wife, I blew all my money. I got so bad I gave away my car. I am so happy now to be back in the real world." His addiction and treatment have taught him. he sa;Ys, that the tough-oncnme approach he adopted when in office is doomed to fail. Schoonover wants to see changes to sentencin!! laws that will give drug offenders a range of treatment options instead of packing them into the jails and prisons of West Virginia. ''Why send people with a nonviolent crime to prison when we can send them to rehab for three or six months?" he asks . "When I was a state senator, I had the philosophy. ' Lock 'em up and throw away the key.· That doesn't work.'' Schoonover believe~ his years in the Legislature. with three tenns as a delegate starting in 1988 and a six-year tenure in the Senate, make him well-suited to deal with lawmakers. ''J know how the comritittee system worb,'' he says. "If I can swing one vote. if my story can convince one senator who's on the fence to pass this bil! through, I;ve done somethmg." Schoonover returns as prison reform is becoming a significant topic at the Capitol. Earlier this yenr. commis::.ion appoi nted Gov. Joe .Ylanchin to s overcrowding in the ~tate 14 prison~ and I0 regional jai Is produced 14 rl.!commendations. including mndifying sentencing laws and di..c~11ing inmates with drug and alcohol problems to rehabilitation . The state prisons are de~igned to hold 5.300 inmate . but more than 1.000 wait in regional jails for transfer to state facilities because there's no room. Meanwhile, although twothirds of Mate inmates are incarcerated for nonviOlent crimes. the Legislature has gotten tougher in handing out sentences. Since 1991, the Legislature has voted 75 times to modify sentencing laws or create new ones. Lawmakers also increascd the mandatory minimum sentences for several crimes . The report fo. that between 2001 and 2 sentences grew by as much as 33 months. Advocates of d1vertmg nonviolent cnmmals to treatment programs say they welcome Schoonover's efforts. if he can help sway lawmakers worried about being seen as soft on crime. ··we need all the help we can get,'' said the Rev. Dennis Sparks, executive director of the West Virginia Council of Churches. "If he's the Puy to convince the Leg1slaturt( that being touch on crime docs not mean locking people up -without actually getting them rehabilitated, that's what we need," Sparks said. Schoonover, \\ ho is enjoying his new life as a college student and mentoring younger people strug2:ling with addiction, s. his goal not onl) as a pra cal service to the state, as a way of acknowledging the people who helped him 2et clean. ~ "They gave me back my life." he said. " I feel like 1 owe them something.'' Martin from Page At wife of Brynn Martin. Odessa Martin had been housed in the jail as a potential witness for the state after having been found guilty of tampering with evidence in connection with Sowers' murder prior to her husband's trial. She was convicted of burninc bloodstained clothing purported to belong to Bl) nn Martin and sentenced to four years in prison, which she is currently serving although her husband has since been acquitted of the slaying. She did not testifv at Brvnn Martin's trial after the defense invoked spousal privilege. Knight said he did not find about the incident until three days after the trial and therefore had not asked to reopen the case, though he pointed out that Adkins had wanted to reopen the case on the issue of spousal testimony. Knight cited the ~1eigs County ca. e of Trudy Dent, State vs. Holmes. and recent optmon of the American Bar Association in his arguments about newly discovered e\ idence and the timely disclosure of exculpatory evidence. Adkins responded that at thts time Oiler has not been charged with a criminal act: at this time it is onlv an alleged offense. He said the sheriff'~ office conducts investigation::. and presents them to his office. which has not vet occurred in relation to the incident. He also said that he thought the jury was made a\\ arc of any character flaws that Oiler may have through her testimony, during which she admitted to prior comiction~ and having an affair with her sister's husband.

PARAPE Meltdown 101: Unemployment by the numbers Bv C HRISTOPHER LEONARD AP BUSINEss WRITER New unemployment data show why it will take years for the labor market to recover from one of its fastest and deepest declines since World War II, even if an economic recovery is around the corner. The Department of Labor report released Friday showed job cuts in August were lower than they've been in recent months. But a deeper look at the data shows why it will take mill ions of new jobs to dig American workers out of this recession's deep pit. Unemployment for teenagers stands at nearly 26 percent. More than 758.000 \VOrkers are so discouraged they quit looking for jobs altogether. near the biggest such number since the Department of Labor stattcd tracking it in 1994. Damage continues to mount in the manufacturing. financial and construction sectors. ln all, some 14.9 million people are out of work and looking for a job. This means it will take several quarters of economic growth to put the unemployed back to work. About 125.000 jobs need to be ere- ated each month just to keep up with the natural increase in the number of job seekers from immigration and population growth. Even if that number is surpassed in coming months. it will take a very long time to make up all the lost ground. · The data show that unemployment is deep. widespread and lasting longer than usual. Here are some details, by the numbers. ••• WORST DOWNTURN IN DECADES 9.7 percent: The cun-ent unemployment rate. up from 4.7 percent before the reccsston began in December 2007.I 0 percent: The rate expected to be hit by the end of this year. 2014: The year Moody's Economy.com predicts the unemployment rate will tlnally dip toward 5 percent. considered to be the "normal" level. . 7.4 million: The increase in u,nemployed people since the recession started . ••• A BROADER PROBLEM 24.9 v,-eeks: The average duration that unemployed workers arc out of a job. ncar the highest ·level since the Depmtment of Labor :-.tartcd tracking the figure in 1948 . 4.98 million: The number of people unemployed longer than 27 weeks. also the highest level since World War II. although the growth in the size of the labor market over time contributes to that. 9 million: The number of workers forced to take parttime jobs who \Vould rather work more hours. 33 .I : Average hours in the workweek, near this summer's record low of 33 hours. ••• DIFFERENT GROUPS.

For the jobless, L~bor Day is hardly a holiday Bv JEANNINE A VERSA AP ECONOMICS WRITER WASHINGTON Every day it's a battle. The nearly 15 million unemployed Americans won't enjoy Labor Day as a relaxing respite from work. tead, they'll once again d to prepare to get up. hit pavement and keep • hunting for a job. As the jobless· rate nears 10 percent. even those fortunate enough to be employed fret about keeping their jobs. But for those without them, it's a daily struggle with emotional and economic distress. "It's hard to maintain your focus that you're a valuable member of society when you go three months and nobody really wants to employ you," says David O'Bryan, 59, of Barre, Vt. To cope with the stress, O'Bryan jots down his thoughts in a journal he carries around. He's seeking a new career in the education field. In one recent entry, he wrote: "I'm finding the process of trying to get into schools both tedious and frustrating. wish I could have some crete feedback on why not being hired. Overweight? No para-educator certificate in effect? No confidence in my ability to perform the job?" The economy is showing signs of being on the mend. Yet that's hardly reassuring to the unemployed this Labor Day weekend. The job n;tarket is in lousy shape and will stay that way for a while. The nation's jobless rate jumped to a 26-year high of 9.7 percent in August from 9.4 percent in July. It's expected to top I0 percent this year and keep climbing into part of next year before falling back. The postWorld War II high was 10.8 percent at the end of 1982. And it could take four years or more for the unemployment rate to fall back down to a normal level of ut 5 percent. regory Przybylski. 46. suburban Milwaukee has grown increasingly anxious since losing his job as a machine operator in March 2008. "It's getting scary,'' said Przybylski. a bachelor who has spent the past several months studying for a high school equivalency degree. 'T m just hoping to be working by Christmas.'' Przybylski said he's using his time to study and f. improve himself so he 'II be ready once the economy turns around. But he fears being thrust into a new career after spending so many years as a machinist. "I've been doing this since 1980 - that's what I know," he said, slowly shaking his head. "It's stressful whether you have a job or not," says Patricia Drentea, associate professor of sociology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "If you are out of a job, it can be demoralizing to know that the tide has not yet turned. For those still in jobs, there is the constant worry that there is going to be more layoffs." The worst recession since World War II has claimed a net total of 6.9 million jobs - and more losses are expected. casting a pall over this year's Labor Day. The strains of rising unemployment are making people - those with jobs and those without - more frugal. And they're likely to remain cautious spenders in coming months, crimping the budding economic recovery. Ethan Fiet:ro of Chicago has managed to survive a round of layoffs at his accounting firm. But he's not taking his job for granted and is clamping down on the household budget. and cutting out the little extras. "Now. movie nights have to be Netflix nights," says Fierro. 33, who has a wife and a 1-year-old son. Chrysantheum Dickens, 43, of Tampa, a church pastor who also works in sales at an information technology company, shops at a Salvation Army store for school clothes for her sons. "It's a different age now, and you never know what's going to happen," she says. Jobseeker Ileen Goldberg of Tampa stopped schedul- ing doctor's appointments and sold her car to save money and help make ends meet. "It's honible out there,'' says Goldberg, 48. who lost her job as an administrative assistant in June. "I have no prospects, so every day it's a mental battle when you get tJp." Laid off eight months ago from her secretarial job at a health clinic. Mary Pat Didier, 60, is preparing her five grandchildren for the possibility she might have to move away from her home in Rockford, Ill., in hopes of finding employment. Didier has begun applying for jobs in Chicago and in Milwaukee. So far. no luck. Her unemployment benefits are set to expire in January. but she hopes to qualify for extended aid. She's burned through her retirement savings. "There's no place to go from here,'' Didier said. "I'm too young for Medicare, but I ended up with no health (insurance). I get frustrated. but I can't give up. so I try to not to dwell .in it.'' she adds. "I finally know what it's like to live in the moment.'' An Associated Press-GfK poll last month found that 43 percent of Americans were worried ''some" or "a lot'' about losing their job. even though the pace of layoffs has slowed. And statistically. that wasn't much changed from the results in February. when job losses were much heavier. A growing number of people have grown so frustrated that they've stopped looking for work. The number of such "discouraged \VOrkers" totaled 758.000 in August - nearly twice as many as a year ago. Because they've abandoned their job searches. they • aren't included in the government's count of the 14.9 million people who are unemployed.

Rio Grande begins the regular season, November 6 with the Giovanni's Tip-Off Classic against OhioLancaster at 8 p.m., but then will deal with familiar foe Cedarville on November 7 at 4 p.m. The Bevo Francis Tournament field will have Taylor, Union (KY) and Ohio-Chillicothe, with Rio Grande facing OUC in the 8 p.m. game on Friday, November 13. The RedStorm will then have road games against former conference foes, Shawnee State (November and Cedarville 17) (November 20 .) The latter will be a part of a tournament at Cedarville. Rio will·be a part of the Mid-South Challenge, ovember' 27-28 in • rankfort. KY that wiJI see the RedStorm tangle with Virginia Intermont and the University of St. Francis (IN). Other pre-conference road games include: at the Ashland University Classic (December 28-29)". Brescia (Jan.6) and Mountain State (Jan. 9). Other pre-conference home games for the RedStorm include: Brescia (Dec. 5), Shawnee State (Dec. 12) and Mount Vernon Nazarene (Dec. 15). The SSU game will serve as the Newt Oliver Coaches Classic game and the MVNU game is Champions ot Character day at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande head coach Ken French. entering his fourth season, knows he put together a difficult slate for s ballclub. 'My first year as head ach. I thought maybe we • played the toughest schedule we've had in a long time.'' French said. "I think I out-did myself with this one." ':It's going to be an extremely challenging schedule for us,'' French added. "Having one senior (PJ. Rase) and a boatload of freshmen, we're young and inexperienced, but in some cases that's not all bad. We're very, very excited about the schedule." "We've got some extended road trips, but having said that. we've probably got more home games than we've had in a while and the proximity of the conference games makes our travel a little bit shorter than what it's been in the past," French said. "We know it's going to be challenging going into the new league, but we also excited about this schedule." The 2009-1 0 season marks the initial year for Rio Grande in the MidConference. The South RedStorm get the luxury of beginning conference play at home on January 14 versus Lindsey Wilson. The MSC features a new format for the RedStorm. Conference games are played on Thursday and Saturday instead of the Tuesday/Saturday slate that Rio became accustomed to in the AMC. "It'll be a great challenge for us, because we're so used to playing on Tuesday and Saturday and getting in that routine where we can lift and watch film," French said. "Now all that changes. Everybody else in the league is used to playing on Thursday and Saturday and that league is very, very physical; it's a Big East style of basketball and if you're in a physical war on Thursday night, you've got to tum around and in one day's preparation get ready for someone else who's just as good, if not better, it's going to be a challenge without question." "It's something that we've got to adapt to and we better get used to it quickly,'' French added. The MSC season will run through the end of February and the MSC Tournament will take place. March 4-6 in Frankfort, KY. Rio will once again get to apply its talents on the NCAA Division I stage with an exhibition game at Marshall, February 9. "It's a great experience for us,'' French said. "It's one of the reasons that we hold back one of our exhibition games and we're very, very fortunate that Coach Donnie Jones has given us one more year, this will be three years in a row that we've gone to Marshall University and played." "It is a great experience for our team and for our players to see how they stand at that level," French added. ''It's a great challenge for us, but it's rewarding in a lot of ways." LAS VEGAS (AP)- The Nevada Supreme Court denied O.J. Simpson's request Friday to be let out of prison pending a decision on the appeal of his conviction in a gunpoint heist in a Las Vegas hotel room. A three-judge panel that heard oral arguments Aug. 3 concluded Simpson and convicted co-defendant Clarence "C.J ."Stewart didn't meet what the court called the "heavy burden" required to be allowed to post bail. "Here, appellant was convicted of serious. nonprobationable. violent offenses committed with the use of a firearm," justices Michael Cherry, Nancy Saitta and Mark Gibbons said. using identical language in their separate unanimous rulings. The justices also pointed to Clark County Di,trict Court Judge Jackie Glass' finding that both men posed a flight risk if released. Simpson, 62. and Stewart, 55, were tried together and found guilty last year of kidnapping and robbing two sports memorabilia dealers iry September 2007.

The 39-year-old lined up at receiver in Minnesota's version of the wildcat offense. Rookie receiver Percy Harvin took the snap and started running around the left end in Favre's direction. Despite playing with sore ribs, the quarterback crouched and threw his body at Wilson's legs to cut him down. The game was televised nationally and the block caused an uproar in Houston and elsewhere around the league. Wilson injured his left knee on the play and defensive players have l~ng considered that client go free on bond was long shot the beginning." Bryson said he · duesn 't believe the court's ruling "is in any way indicative of the strength of Mr. Stewart's appeal.'' "We i·emain very hopeful in our quest for the ultimate appeal,'' he said.

Stewat1 is serving 7 1/2 to 27 years at High Desert State Prison in fndian Springs. about 45 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The Nevada Supreme Court can take two years to decide appeals. Lawyers for both men said they had not decided whether to seek a rehearing on the bond issue before the full seven-member court. Some observers in Nevada legal circles had seen the court's decision to hear unusual oral arguments on bail as a signal that justices saw merit in broader issues that lawyers raised in the appeals filed in May.

AP SPORTS WRITER The Baltimore Ravens had what every other NFL team wanted following the 2000 season: a Super Bowl title and a record-setting, smothering defense. Rex Ryan helped devise that 4-3 scheme. with hefty :rony Siragusa ,and Sam Adams anchoring the middle of the Ravens' dominant defensive !me. The coach laughs at what happened next. "People tried to get the two biggest guys they could find and put them at tackle.'' Ryan said. "That was the trend." Well. Ryan broke the trend a few years later, switching to a 3-4 base defense, which lie now brings with him to the New York Jets. Other teams have followed suit. raising the question: Which system truly is more effective? That really depends on who you ask, and when. ''It's all cyclical,'' Minnesota coach Brad Childress said. "It really is. Whether it's people running the football or the Smurfs, the five-wides. It's whatever is in vogue." . In 1998, 25 teams used the 4-3 scheme as their base defense. At least a dozen teams enter this season with a 3-4, ~ncluding Green Bay and Kansas City, who switched from 4-3s. 'The 4-3 has been around for years and people have run different things off of it, but I still think the 3-4 is really going to keep gaining momentum,'' Ryan said. " People are putting more talent on the field offensively. whether they're spreading you out or whatever the style is. I think you're going to need as goGd athletes as you can find. and that's what you get out of a 3-4." Dallas coach Wa<;le Phillips uses a 3-4 and helped run Buddy Ryan's defense in Philadelphia in the 1980s. as well as several other teams during his career. He says the funda-· mental differences between the two are simple. "In the 4-3. you're really depending on the defensive linemen," he said, "and in the 3-4. you're depending on the linebackers." Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson is generally credited with creating the 3-4 scheme in the late 1940s, and the 1972 Miami Dolphins are acknowledged as the first NFL team to incorporate it into their defense. All those Dolphins did was go undefeated and win the Super Bowl.

' Arroyo, streaking Reds beat Braves, 3-1 ATLANTA (AP) Bronson AIToyo and the Cincinnati Reds are enjoying a September surge that has their confidence on the rise and the Atlanta Braves feeling frustrated. Arroyo, who pitched out of a first-inning jam, gave up one run in seven innings and the Reds beat the Braves 3-1 on Friday night for their fifth straight win. The Braves. who began the day four games behind Colorado in the NL wildcard race, have lost three straight. The Braves did not score after loading the bases with no outs in the first. Brian McCann hit into a doubleplay grounder that forced Matt Diaz out at the plate. Adam LaRoche ended the inning with a fly ball to left field. "It's just frustrating," McCann said. "We had our chance in the first. J grounded into a double play and kind of killed the rally. Then it seemed like every ball we hit hard was right at them." Manager Bobby Cox was ejected for second straight game. and the seventh time this season, to extend his major league record to 150. The Reds, coming off a of four-game . sweep Pittsburgh, matched a season high with their fifth • I straight win. '"We obviously don't have a chance for the playoffs, but we have an opportunity to look at what we will have next year," Arroyo said. Brandon Phillips says it is not too late for the Reds (6173) to avoid a losing season. "We're just trying to get as many wins as possible," Phillips said. "If we can get to .500, that would be a positive thing for us.'' Arroyo (12-12) gave up six hits and one run in seven innings. He shut out the Braves for five innings before giving up Nate McLouth's homer in the sixth. He has lasted at least seven innings in seven straight starts. The righthander was only 1-2 in his last six starts despite a 1.99 ERA. ''After that first inning, he got on track and dealt the rest of the way," said Reds manager Dusty Baker. Arroyo's only other win in the seven-game span was a of two-hit shutout Washington on Aug. 13. "After pitching well several games in a row and not getting the win, to finally get over the hump and get a win feels really good," Arroyo said. Jonny Gomes' 17th homer in the second gave Cincinnati a I;.O lead . Francisco Cordero pitched the ninth for his 31st save. Arroyo beat Derek Lowe (13-9), who gave up seven hits and three runs in seven innings. Kenshin Kawakami pitched a perfect eighth in his first relief appearance for Atlanta after 25 starts. "Our pen needs some help right now," Cox said. "We've got some guys that need a little bit of rest so he's going to have to caiTy a little bit of load out there." Tim Hudson's return from elbow surgery left the Braves with six starting pitchers, allowing Cox to move Kawakami to the bullpen. The Reds scored two runs in the sixth. Joey Votta walked and scored on Brandon Phillips' double to center field. Scott Rolen's single to center drove in Phillips. McLouth came off the 15day disabled list after missing 17 games with a strained left hamstring. Plate umpire Brian Gorman ejected Cox in the fourth inning. Gorman called Yunel Escobar out for mnning outside the base path on the infield grass as he tried to beat Arroyo's throw to first. Anoyo 's throw hit Escobar.

Gothard with a resounding whack. Gothard's wife, Jan. handed her husband a green beret with the star of a brigadier general. With a flourish, Oothard flipped his old colonel's beret to his aide. There was sustained applause in the sunlit lobby of the Airborne & Special Operations Museum as friends and family expressed their congt:atulations to the Favetteville resident who became the Anny's newest brigadier general. • "30 years ago. no one envisioned that a seedy block of bars and rundown buildings would one day transform into this amazing museum." Gothard said. "Likewise, 30 years ago. when I reported as a greenhorn second lieutenant to the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, I had no notion that one day I would be privileged to serve my nation as a general officer. I'm truly blessed." In the Army Reserve, Gothard. 53, is the commanding officer of the 353rd Civil Affairs Command at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, N.Y. The 353rd has ~bout 1,900 soldiers in 10 states. His command answers to Morris, the commander of the U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations . Command at Fort Bragg. Civil affairs and psychological operations soldiers represent 4.8 percent of the U.S. Army Reserve Command.

Established in 1849. the church was moved to its current location in 1874. A second structure was built at' the site between 1926 and 1927. The land was deeded to the church for $1 by church member, Hugh C. Niday around the turn of the 19th century. · The church went from pot-bellied stoves and outhouses to electric heat and indoor plumbing before the congregation outgrew the structure in 2003. The existing building was torn down and the present Mercerville Baptist Church was constructed at the same site and dedicated on April II, 2004. The bell was saved from the old church steeple and is now displayed as part of the landscaping near the new church. Services are scheduled for 10 a.m. and I :30 p.m. today, with an anniversary celebration to be held this afternoon.

Morris described Gothard as "a good man with•a fine mind and a big heart." In his civilian career. Gothard is chief of advanced technology at the U.S. Atmy Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg. Gothard was born at Fort Benning. Ga .. and grew up in Ohio. He was an ROTC distinguished graduate of the University of Dayton and began his Army career at Fort Bragg in 1978 as a rifle platoon leader in the 2nd Battalion of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. "It's fitting that the Army has dedicated this year as the Year of the Noncommissioned Officer." Gothard said. "I have been trained, mentored and told, 'Sir. you really don't want to do that.' by some of the greatest NCOs to ever wear the uniform:· At Fort Bragg, Gothard also served in the 5th Special Forces Group and the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. He joined the Army Reserve in 1992. Gothard is the son of William L. and Mary Lynn Gothard of Clayton and Nettie Gothard of New Carlisle. His grandmother.

RIO GRANDE Graduating students in the University of Rio Grande's Respiratory Therapy program were honored during a special pinning ceremony on Wednesday, Aug. 12. Rio Grande and the Buckeye Hills Career Center work together on the program. which is offered on the Buckeye Hills campus. Students in the program earn their associate's degrees from Rio Grande, while they can also earn certificates from Buckeye Hills. This year's class. which had 12 students from all around the region, is the third class of students to complete the relatively new program. The graduating students received their pins during a ceremony in the Evan E. and Elizabeth F. Davis University Center on the Rio Grande campus. Student Luther Rice. who is from Gallipolis, received the Academic Achievement Award during the ceremony for having the highest grade point average in the class. The award is presented annually by Holzer Medical Center. Ron Saunders, director of therapies at Holzer Medical Center Gallipolis, presented the award. Sharon Carmichael. health careers administrator for Buckeye Hills. said that the faculty members were very impressed with Rice's academic achievements while he was in the program. What made his high grades even more impres<;ive, C~rmichael aclded, is that Rice also worked three different jobs on the side while he was in school. Now, Rice and the other graduates are entering a job market where their skills are in demand. "Job opport~nities are available for our graduates," Carmichael said. Respiratory therapy graduates work in health care settings such as acute care, long-term care, home health and clinics. ''There are job opportunities in many different areas," Carmichael said. Several of the students already have jobs in the area, and one is employed at the Cleveland Clinic. Tte graduates are now eligible to take their certification and national registry exams, and Carmichael expects them all to do very well on their exams and in their careers. The incoming class of students for the fall semester of 2009 is already full. as 21 students from around the region are entering the program. The Respiratory Therapy Program is taking applications for students who will begin classes in the fall of 20 10. The program is Jed by Director Louise Mich' and Director of Clini Education Rose Rearl . Other faculty members include Sunita Dayal, Cheryl Dickenson, Winda Joseph, Kevin Queen and John Payne.

But what's truly baffling - disheartening, really - is the fact that this latest one was written by a woman. Kim Barker came up with the script in which Bullock's character, a crossword puzzle writer named Mary Horowitz, is singularly annoying from the ftrst moment we meet her. It's almost misogynistic, the lack of humanity Barker's script gives this woman. Mary is a goofy, clingy, hyperactive chatterbox who bores people everywhere she goes with her arcane bits of trivia and long-winded anecdotes. She lives at home with her parents (Beth Grant and Submitted photo TV news reporter Hartman (Thomas Haden Church, left) feigns surprise when Mary (Sandra Bullock) once again surprises Steve (Bradley Cooper) with more crazy declarations of love. Howard Hesseman, who don't get much to do) and needs to be fixed up on a blind date to have even a remote chance at intimate contact with a man. The fJ.lm affords her no sympathy for any of these traits. When Mary fmally meets handsome cable-news cam- eraman Steve (Bradley Cooper, all blue eyes and blinding teeth). she immediately throws herself at him. Then she misinterprets a comment he makes in the frenzy of scurrying away from her as an invitation to join him on the road covering breaking news, and ends up stalking him across the country. During her travels. she befriends another woman who isn't drawn with a whole lot of grace: a full-figured, big-haired simpleton who doesn't understand Mary's many big words but does carry delicious snacks a<; she hangs out wherever the TV cameras happen to be. There is nothing about Mruy that's even vaguely appealing, but the feature debut from director Phil Traill makes it obvious we're meant to fmd her endearing. This much is clear from the way he focuses on Mary's signature clothing item - a pair of shiny, kneehigh red boots - early and often, a lazy shorthand to indicate this person is supposed to be quirky but lovable. Each time Mary finds Steve, she jumps up and down like a little girl, then runs toward him and pummels him with affection. It's actually pretty frightening behavior. Steve, meanwhile, is an enigma. good-lookmg but bland. Ostensibly, that\ the point - that he's more of a figment of Mary's idealism than anything else - but that doesn't make him a terribly compelling character, and it doesn't make effective use of Cooper's charisma. · Thomas Haden Church provides a couple of laughs as Steve's self-serious reporter -his absurdly melodramatic live shots are pretty funny but his character is also cruel to Mary by stringing her along and 'inviting her to join them at each new destination. (The ubiquitous Ken Jeong plays the crew's exasperated field producer.) Meanwhile. Kerri Kenney-Silver. Luenell from "Borat" and Charlyne Yi go to waste in throwaway supporting roles. Then. just when it seems "All About Steve" couldn't grow any more insufferable. it turns strangely sentimental. which allows Mary to make profound observations about life .in the form of forced crossword-puzzle metaphors.

A simple and sweet baked apple BY JIM ROMANOFF FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS With apples nearing peak season, it's easy to want more than one a day regardless of any plans to see your doctor. Apples - of which some 2,500 varieties are grown in the U.S. - are jammed with antioxidants and flavonoids, both considered important parts of a healthy diet.

Either way, try not to remove the skin, because that's the best source of the apple's pectin and other nutrients. In this recipe, apples are combined with nutritious nuts and the flavors of orange and cinnamon to create warm and comforting baked apples filled. with dates and pecans. To toast the chopped pecans, which enhances their nuttiness, place them in a small, dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, unt1l they are lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. This dessert would make a lovely addition to a Rosh Hashanah celebration. especially if drizzled with a touch of honey, which is traonally served with les to symbolize the e for a sweet year to come. The honey could be added to the syrup (in place of or alongside the brown sugar) with which the apples are drizzled. remaining 112 teaspoon of cinnamon. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved. In a small glass, mix the cornstarch and water. Add the mixture to the saucepan, then heat until thicken~d.

Homeowners and farmers have called into extensio~ offices throughout Ohio the past couple of weeks inquiring how to rid themselves of this pesky plant. This parasitic plant is commonly known as dodder (Cuscuta species). It lacks chlorophyll so it must take its nutrients from a host plant. Locally we have seen it in vinca, alfalfa. and tomato plants. Northern Ohioans have had red clover in grazing fields infested. It spreads plant to plant by infecting new plants with appendages called 'haustoria'. Dodder flowers and forms seed that drop into soil for additional plants. The seed is small and can remain dormant for 20 plus years before it emerges. Warm and humid weather are ideal for rapid growth. Control measures include pulling out by hand and stuffing it into a garage bag prevent seed or bits of the plant from dropping into the rest of the field. Empty out the bag and bum the plant. Preemergent herbicides like Kerb for ornamental plants and Treflan and Prowl for crops help in controlling dodder on a limited basis. Once the dodder is on the host plant, one to two percent solutions of glyphosate can kill the dodder but also kills the host plant. On pastures, Raptor and Pursuit DG can be used to suppress dodder when it is under three inches in length per Roger Bender, Shelby County Educator. Follow label directions before harvesting and allowing animals onto the field. From left, Krista Martin with Dais. Andrew Sager with Pepper, Ben Mollohan with Cookie, and Zach Mollohan with Shadow. Submitted photo to ••• Take time to review your grazing and hay production practices. When was your last soil test taken on your fields? For a reasonable fee of 12 dollars, check what the needs of your fields are for potassium. phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, organic matter and soil pH. If you are planning to winter graze your tall fescue fields apply nitrogen (50 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre) to increase the amount of stockpiled grass. Keep your herd off the pasture until after ihe first heavy freezes to increase the carbohydrate concentrations. Don't overgraze the rest of your pastures so the fields can store nutrients for next. Spring's growth. Rory Lewandowski, Athens County Educator suggests a minimum of four inches of pasture growth left after grazing in the fall season. Watch out for late September's harvest of alfalfa fields. Get the long range weather forecast to make sure there is a minimum of 6-8 weeks of growing weather left. An early winter can create havoc to a pasture or hay field that is poorly managed .
