The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Sunday, Nov. 22, the 326th day of 2009. There are 39 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot to death while riding in a motorcade in Dallas. Texas Gov. John B. Connally was seriously wounded. Suspect Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested. On this date: In 1718, English pirate Edward Teach - better known as "Biackbeard" - was killed during a battle off the Virginia coast. In 1890, French president Charles de Gaulle was born in Litle, France. In 1909, actress Helen Hayes made her Broadway debut at age 9, playing a "little mime" in the Victor Herbert musical comedy "Old Dutch." In 1928, "Bolero" by Maurice Ravel was first performed, in Paris. In 1935, a flying boat, the China Clipper, took off from Alameda, Calif., carrying more than 100,000 pieces of mail on the first trans-Pacific airmail flight. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek met in Cairo to discuss measures for defeating Japan. Lyricist Lorenz Hart died in New York at age 48. In 1965, the musical "Man of La Mancha" opened in New York. In 1967, the U.N. Security Council approved Resolution 242, which called for Israel to withdraw from • territories it had captured the previous June, and implicitly called on adversaries to recognize Israel's right to exist. In 1975, Juan Carlos was proclaimed King of Spain. In 1990, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, having failed to win re-election of the Conservative Party leadership on the first ballot, announced her resignation. Ten years ago: During a visit to the former communist country of Bulgaria, President Bill Clinton promised tens of thousands of cheering Bulgarians in Sofia that "yqu, too, shall overcome" in their difficult struggle for democracy and prosperity. Five years ago: Tens of thousands of demonstrators jammed downtown Kiev, denouncing Ukraine's presidential runoff election as fraudulent and chanting the name of their reformist candidate, Viktor Yushchenko, who ended up winning a revote the following month. Iran said it had frozen all uranium enrichment programs; President George W. Bush said he hoped the statement was true but added, ''there must be verification." One year ago: In the weekly Democratic radio address, President-elect Barack Obama promoted an economic plan he said would provide 2.5 million jobs. although his spokesman later clarified that the plan would "save and create" that many jobs. President George W. Bush snared fresh international support on the economy and North Korea at a Pacific Rim economic summit in Peru. Thought for Today: •iJf we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be no help."- From the address President Kennedy never got to deliver in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

Fred Clark Albuquerque, N.M. ••• The National Credit Union Administration, like the FDIC. ha:-. an insurance fund financed by fees paid by the institutions. A new fee was assessed this year. and the fund stands at around S8 billion. As is the case with banks, regular deposit accounts in the 7,800 or so federally insured credit unions arc covered up to'$250.000. Credit unions arc cooperatives that are owned by their members. Twentythree c.:rcdit unions have failed so far this vear. compared with IX in 2008. and failures are expected to increase again next year.

REED BREEDOMYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - Legislation passed Thursday in the Ohio House of Representatives is designed to enhance the state's election laws and address problems occurring in past elections. House Bill260 passed the Ohio House by a vote of 5345, and will now go to the Ohio Senate for a vote. It is called the Elections Enhancement bill, and Phillips was a co-sponsor. "I am supporting increased opportunities for state agencies to register voters and reduce the potential for voter registration fraud. l am supporting the reduction of provisional ballots, and the uncertainty that they create,'' Phillips said of the legislation. which also prohibits payment to individuals for delivering absentee ballots, and increases security of the election process. H.B. 260 was introduced in August after nearly a year of bipartisan collaboration to correct current weaknesses and streamline cumbersome rules and procedures, Phillips said. It further modernizes Ohio's inefficient and errorprone voter-registration system, Phillips said, and: • Creates online voter registration and a streamlined process for registering Ohioans who graduate high school, visit a designated agency or obtain a driver's license. These methods achieve more complete and accurate voter rolls at a lower cost, Phillips said. • Changes Ohio's identitication law to a simple requirement that would apply to all voters uniformly, whether they vote absentee by mail. absentee in person, or in person on Election Day. Voters would be required either to show government- or schoolissued photo identification. or to provide their birth date, signature. and last four digits of their social security or driver's license number. • Standardizes the absentee voting period for both inperson and absentee voting to 28 days before Election Day. The sub bill also modifies tht! vote period to noon before Election Day. HB 260 also improves in-person absentee voting by allowing for local flexibility around operating hours and number of locations. Phillips said Ohio has one of the highest provisional voting rates in the country. which increases costs and administrative burden, invites litigation. and results in many uncounted votes. "The bill fixes this by t:reating clear and fair rules for provisional voting,'' Phillips said, by limiting the reusm~s vorers must cast a provisional ballot and increasing the instances where that ballot will be counted. . It modifies change-of- name and -address laws to allow those voters to cast regular ballots. The legislation improves- upon these changes by providmg voters with notice and the opportunity to correct mistakes on their provisional ballot envelopes. The bill also makes stipulations relating to upholdmg challenges to a voter's registration. This legislation includes several cost-saving measures such as allowing the use of vote-by-mail for \'acancy in office special elections, decreasing administrative burden on local boards with an annual vote-by-mail ballot request form, and limiting state issue ballot language length, Phillips said. It restores special elections but creates a Joint Taskforce on Special Elections and Cost Reductions to study special elections consolidation and other innovative cost-saving strategies.

Portsmouth High School has been rebuffed several times in a bid to join the Southern Ohio Conference and PHS officials have indicated they do not plan tore~pply unless approached by the SOC.

(AP) - Chad Ochocinco sent deodorant to the Baltimore Ravens before a key AFC Nmth showdown to pump himself up for the big game. 'The fun-loving Cincinnati Bcngals wide receiver wanted to send mustard to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week because they would never "ketchup" in the game before coach Marvin Lewis mxed that idea. With a game against the struggling Oakland Raiders next up on Cincinnati's schedule. Ochocinco has no plans for any gimmicks. "''m just coming to ~ive the Black Hole the best show thex ve ever seen." he said. 'Tm not sure tf they've really had much to look forward to this year. But man, we're coming to town. It will for sure be a circus." Coming off emotional victories over Chicago, Baltimore and Pittsburgh, it would only be natural if the Bengals (7-2) came down a little bit emotionally heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders (2-7). With home games against Cleveland ( 1-8) and Detroit ( 1-8) to follow, this is by far the easiest stretch of Cincinnati's schedule. Winning these three games will be crucial in the Bengals' bid to win the division and earn a fLrSt-round playoff bye. "We're supposed to beat these ty~ of teams," safety Chris Crocker srud. "That's how we approach it. This could be one of those games where people expect the Cincinnati Bengals to fall flat on our faces." The Bengals were in the Raiders' position the past few years. looking to play spoiler against a contender at the end of yet another lost season. Cincinnati even finished a half-game behind the R:t ·rs a year ago. before turning it arout behind a revamped defense and l't' VJ ed running game led by Cedric Ben..,on That revival gives hope to the Raiders. who are in the midst of an even lon~er stretch of ineptitude. Oakland IS on pace for its seventh straight 11-loss season, extending its own record for futility. "It's kind of one of those things where you look at them and say. 'If they can do it. why can't we do it."' left tackle Mario Henderson said. ''And we can do it. So like I say. every year is different. It's just what we have to do here to aet better." The fu.st change is coming at quartcrback: Bruce Gradkowski will replace struggling former No. I overall pick JaMarcus Russell. Russell has completed just 46.8 percent of his pa<;ses this season. with nine interceptions and five lost fumbles and the second-worst passer rating in the league at 47.7. Coach Tom Cable hopes Gradkowsk.i provides a needed spark to an offense that has managed just 88 points through nine games and has not scored two touchdowns in a game since losing the season opener 24-20 to San Diego. Gradkowski beat the Bengals in his second career start for Tampa Bay in 2006. He has started only once smce that rookie season, but has replaced an ineffective Russell in two of the la<;t three games. It's on defense where the Raiders concern the Bengals. Oakland has at times been dominating on defense, most notably shutting down Philadelphia's high-powered offense last month. But then there are times I AP photo Cincinnati Bengals placekicker Shane Graham (17) trots off the field with his teammates after hitting his fourth field goal of the NFL football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh Sunday. where teams have mn right throuah the Raiders like the New York Jets did the following week. "I can 1 for the life of me understand how they are not winning," Ochocinco said. ''I don't get it. Because what I see on film. the record does not show. Because they look a lot better than their record shows. so I'm not under- standing what's going on.'' The most intrigumg matchup on Sunday will be Ochocinco against Raiders man-to-man cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Chris Johnson.

Cribbs expects to play Sunday against Lions BEREA (AP) - Josh Cribbs' neck is still a little sore, but he doesn't mind sticking it out for Baltimor~·s Dwan Edwards. Cribbs said Friday he expects to play in the Cleveland Browns· game at Detroit on Sunday, which will be six days after he was strapped to a backboard and wheeled into an ambulance following a loss to the Ravens on Monday night. Browns coach Eric Mangini said he also expects Cribbs to play. Edwards was fined $5.000 by the league this week for smashing a forearm under Cribbs' chin on the game's final play. Cribbs had pitched the ball away on a lateral and admitted he had relaxed a bit when Edwards hit him. As a result, he defended Edwards on Friday. "I don't feel he should've been fined for it," Cribbs said. "It's football. Just as he hit me, I could've hit him blocking for my guy. It happened during the ploy between the whistles. They have rules in place to protect players, but 1 don't think it was intentional at all." After a series of tests, ~---------- ) Cribbs was diagnosed with a sprai ned neck. His fearlessness has turned the undrafled free agent into a Pro Bowler and one of the NFL's most dangerous return specialists. He insists that won't change now. "It's going to take a lot to keep me out of the game. I love it too much," Cribbs said. "They'd have to take my gear away for me not to play. ''You expect situations like that. and I just pray and hope I won't end up on the wrong side of it. Things worked out for me this time. I'm going to try to be more aware." Cribbs has played this season despite wanting a new contract. His agent. J.R. Rickert. blasted the Browns this week for leaving in Cribbs - arguably the team's best offensive threat - for the final play of a game they had no chance to win. Cribbs has done everything the Browns have asked this season while hoping the two sides can work out n new deal soon. Monday's hit has left him especially irritated that there has been little movement in negotiations. "This is the exact thing I worry about." Cribbs said. "We're going to make sure we get that handled because it really is •• touchy subject for me now. It put a lot of thing::. into perspective getting hurt like that and (knowing) it possibl) could have been worse." Cribbs expects to handle all his regular duties Sunday in the game between two l-8 teams. Losing Cribbs on offense would have been another devastating blow to a team that has scored just five touchdowns in its last 15 games - the fewest in a 15-game span since 1950. Cleveland's drought is magnified by the fact no Browns receiver has scored since. Nov. 2, 2008, and no running back has scored since Nov. 17 of last year. ''It's not to the point where you're going to be hiding under the table. You can't do that. You have to wake up the next day and fight," first-year offensive coordinator Brinn Dnboll suld. "l live this. It's not good' enough. I'm the !cadet· of these guys. It's got to be better on my pnrt. They understand what they need to do. too. We're collectively working towurd getting that better." ___________________________ ) �r-_..-------------~-----------------------:-----~~-- ---~- Sunday, November 22, 2009 -·-· $unlmv U::im£5 -S,~ntind • Page 8 3 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Southern On1o Gymnastics Academy's level 3 girls scor ng 9.0 or above were front row (from left) Mlckenzie Ferrell, Taylor Huck, Tatum Bohlsen.

Submitted photos TOTA FIT TM new balance Cleveland balks at new James mural CLEVELAND (AP) - A new combat-ready mural of Cavaliers All-Star LeBron James may be too much for city officials in Cleveland. Design officials tabled a proposal Thursday by Nike to erect a 10-story tall mural of a bare-chested James. Over his left shoulder would be the words "Prepare for Combat," topped by the Nike trademark swoosh. The city thinks the display should project a more positive tone and have a Cleveland reference. The mural would replace one of James that's two years old and has become a landmark hanging across from Quicken Loans Arena. Promoters say James asked for a fresh look.

(AP) - lfTodd Haley looks across the field at Mike Tomlin on Sunday afternoon and feels a twinge of envy, could anybody blame him? It does seem as though opportunity is served in silver goblets to some people, while others pick through shards and scraps. Haley's grueling maiden voyage as a head coach in the NFL has been marked by failure, controversy. frustration and setback. He took over the woebegone Kansas City Chiefs. a franchise which had won only six games in two years, and it's been rough sailing for the fanner Steelers water boy. But Tomlin step~d happily into Bill Cowher s shoes in Pittsburgh and found a perfect fit. He won the AFC North his first season and the Super Bowl his second. Tomlin takes bows. Haley takes shots. As his Chiefs (2-7) prepared to host the Steelers (63) on Sunday, Haley was being accused by various disgruntled fans of being ignorant and abusive, an arrogant hothead. He has tried to meet the cntlctsm calmly a demeanor he acknowledges he doesn't always show when snarling at players. "This is a hard job. It's a big job and I'm finding my way through it," Haley said. "I would hope that nobody thinks that I'm arrogant in going about the job. I'm fightmg for my life, to be honest. and that ·s the way I feel each and every day.'' Haley has been criticized for firing offensive coordina tor Chan Gailey 13 days before the season opener and assumin~ the position himself. He s taken heat for his handling of players, for cursing at them during games. He's also been taken apart for some questionable tactical decisions such as going and failing on fourth down. "I think I've tried to be open and forthright that I don't have all the answers," Haley said. "I feel like I've tried to apologize when I've said something wrong or inappropnate. I've always tried to do that with my players and everybody." Tomlin inherited a much more talented team than Haley. But he can sxmpathize with all 'the travatls of this week's opponent. "It's d ifficult because there's no manual for these jobs,'' he said. "Like myself, coach Haley's been around some great teams and great coaches. so he's had plenty of examt>les of how to go about what tt is that we do. But the first time you get an opportunity to do it, it's just that. You've thought about it a thousand times in your mind what you would do in certain situat1ons and so forth, hut it's a little different when you actually get to do it. ''It's an adjustment period. But ultimately, you're not put in that position unless you're capable.'' In spite of his many run-ins with· players, Haley has never seemed in danger of losing the team's respect. "He tells us when he's made a mistake," said running back Kolby Smith. "He's tough on us. sure, but he treats us fairly." The Chiefs' wobbly offense, still adjusting to the release of controvers1al running back Larry Johnson two weeks ago, took another blow this week when Dwayne Bowe, the best wide receiver. was suspended by the league for four games for violating the banned substance policy. That w111 leave the passcatching corps thin and considerably weakened. Bobby Wade, inactive the past two weeks, will probably get a lot of attention from quaxterback Matt Cassel. So will Chris Chambers. w~ ' caught two touchdown pas two weeks after being sign off waivers from San Diego .• But the Steelers will proba~ bly be without injured Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu , one of the top defensive play-. ers in the league. He would be replaced by Tyrone Carter. · Chambers will be playing' the Steelers for the fourth' tin;e in just 13 months. So far, he s 0-3. "They're a bend-but-don't~ break kind of defense," Chambers said. "They're going to bring a lot of pres~ sure. I think I have a good feel for 'them. I'm pretty: familiar with their roster. It's always great to go against the champions.'' · A victory would be two straight for the Chiefs for the. first time since the final two weeks of the 2006 season. ·" It comes down to execut~ ing," said Chambers.

Currently, she is the Executive Director for Gabby's Ladder. the Family Grief Center of Monroe County. Mrs. Rafko-Wilson touch...:d on the meaning of success during her visit, and now her father taught her that to be successful; you must first understand that you exist in a place where ¢veryone around has expectations of you. Expectations of how to behave, work ethic, certain things you should or should not say, and so on. When one goes one step beyond ~ those expectations, you can pull those around you to the top. That is success. n her career as a Hospice rse, Mrs. Rafko-Wilson s found that Hospice workers are never too busy to go beyond expectations. ' They are always available to make that extra effort for tpeir patients, and the patient's family members. "We never look at our watch,'' stated Mrs. RafkoWilson.

Hospice care is relatively new to the healthcare field, beginning services in the United States in I 978. When Mrs. Rafko-Wilson began her reign in 1988 and chose to include Hospice services as part of her platform, very little information was known about these programs. She was able to utilize her visibility to focus attention on the profession of nursing, hospice programs, and critical healthcare issues. Holzer Hospice began in 1994, providing competent, compassionate care to patients in Southeastern Ohio with a life-limiting illness. The founder of the program. Dr. Oscar Clarke. was the first Medical Director and worked with Sue Bowers. RN, to create Holzer Hospice with the support of Holzer Foundation~: In the first year, Mospice nibwided car~.for 39 JSfitients~ Gtirrc'rit1y~ ijolzer Hospice "rtovi~es services for 40-45 patients per month. Hospice services have grown 50 percent in the last year, and we look forward to continued growth and utilization of the service. Special recognition was given to three long-term Holzer Hospice employees. Jean Petrie. Lucy Marcum. and Teresa Stewart. They have been a part of the program for many years and have been an asset to the growth of the program. Holzer Hospice provides services to patients and families in Gallia. Jackson. Meigs. Vinton. Athens. and portions of Lawrence counties in Ohio. In addition bereavement care for fami lies is offered up to 13 months after the loss of a loved one. Early referrals are imponant to the patient and their loved ones to take advantage of all the services Hospice offers. In closing the program. Jim Phillippe, FACHE. President of Holzer Medical Center, reciteq a quote that was very fitting for the occasion. ''Success is not doing everything necessary; stlccess is a result of doing everything possible.''

'The entire focus was on what we can do for our students," said Rio Grande President Barbara GellmanDanley, Ph.D. The two boards are cooperating very effectively through the "One Rio," philosophy for the institution, and the retreat was another way to bring all of the Trustees together.

When I read Walt Manley's obituary recently, it brought back so many memories of this man who gave so much time and put ·so much effort into raising. :money for his favorite char: ity - the Shriners Hospital ·for Children in Cincinnati. He was a man who made a difference. Walt collected and sold aluminum cans by the millions over nearly 20 years. He collected them .from along the roadside, · from busmesses, from every· :where. and the Shriners credit him with raising nearly a $100,000 over the years. . It all sta11ed when Walt was in his 70s, a time when many take to the rocking .chair. but not him. He was ·out there every day gather..ing up aluminum cans and scrap metal and hauling them off to the recycle center in an aged pickup truck he called "Old Stinky." ·• Over the years several .times he joined the Shiners in visits to the Children's Hospital in Cincinnati, each time coming away inspired _and energized to do more for the children. He once told me he never left without a tear in his eye. Last year the Shriners recognized Walt at a dinner and presented him with a plaque in appreciation for his support and selfless dedication to improving the lives of children at hospitals supported b) Shriners. Walt collected cans well into his 90s when his health began to fail. Over the years his enthusiasm for helping others never wavered. To me and many others who knew Walt. he is remembered as a man on a mission to make a difference in the life of a child.

Senator: USPS to resume North Pole Santa letters Bv RACHEL D'ORo ASSOCIATED PRESS ANCHORAGE, Alaska - North Pole elves have good reason to celebrate 'again. thanks to a decision ,by the U .S.

Gabby borik , chief elf among vera! dozen volunteers, id of the agency 's Friday announcement that it"s reversing a recent decision to drop a program begun in · 1954 in the small Alaska town of North Pole. The program was suspended over privacy concems. ' Gaborik's group, Santa's Mailbag, responds to thousands of letters addressed to "Santa Claus. No1th Pole" each year. The letters will now be answered by the North Pole elves under tightened privacy rules implemented nationwide by the Postal Service in response to security concems that arose in a similar program in · Mruyland last year.

The biggest attractions are the post office - where tourists can get their postcru·ds hand stamped with the North Pole postmark - and Santa Claus House. a store featuring everything Christmas. The Postal Service implemented the tighter restrictions after a postal worker in Maryland recognized a volunteer with its Operation Santa program as a registered sex offender. The worker intervened before the individual could answer a child's letter, but the agency viewed the scare as a reason to tighten security. The Postal Service had already restricted its policies in such programs in 2006, including requiring volunteers to show identification. But the Maryland episode prompted more changes, such as barring volunteers from having access to children's last names and addresses. The agency. instead redacts that information from each letter and replaces the addresses with codes that match computerized addresses known only to the post office.

Three of them are among my favorites: The According to Carp, New Hampshire and Cider House Rules. In his most recent novel, Last Night in Twisted River. some of his recurring themes appear. He must have a thing for bears, because there are bears in this one too. He worries about protecting ohildren: the dreaded ''Undertoad" of Garp shows up here as a blue Mustang. His women are large in size and minor in influence and always leaving. The story begins with this sentence: "The young Canadian. who could not have been more than fifteen, had hesitated for too long." The first part of the book takes place in a logging camp rn the 1950s in n'orthern New Hampshire. 'fhe young Canadian is caught under the floating logs and drowns. ·· Last Night in Twisted er covers fifty years and several key characters. e cook who has a young s'on (his wife has also died accidently in the river), does liis best to shield the boy from hatm, but he fails. A t~rrible accident puts the rook. Dommie Baciagalupo, and the son. Danny, in danger, so they flee to Boston and change their names. The cook finds work wherever he goes. in Italian, Asian and French restaurants. There are some good cooking hints and delicioussounding meals. The son becomes a writer. and his life parallels John Irving's own life - private schooL oollege teaching. the Writers' Workshop in Iowa. mentoring by Kurt Vonnegut, then a profitable writing career. One wonders how much of Danny's life is actually Irving's biography. lather strong character etchum. the old logger maintains contact with t Beverly Gettles Dominic and Danny throughout their lives and wanderings. Part of the story takes place in Iowa, some in Vermont, Toronto, and eventually, back in Coos County, New Hampshtre. There is a nasty sheriff who never gives up searching for the cook aQd his son. Dominic and Danny must always watch their backs, and Ketchum keeps them posted on what is going on back in New Hampshire. One criticism is the lack of depth in the women characters. Danny's mother is mentioned briefly before her tragic death. Injun Jane and Six-Pack Pam are big, tough, logging camp women. Lady Sky (so named by Danny's son. Joe) literally drops out of the sky - a naked parachutist floating down to a party in Iowa. Wonderful writing, and this passage occurs near the end: "We don't always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly - as if out of the sky. or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to earth - the same sudden way we lose people, who once seemed they would always be part of our lives.'' There is a bit of political ranting against . the Bush administration which seems a little out of place, except when Ketchum, that old curmudgeon, says it. This is a story of life and love and loss, but with some bizarre happenings and unusual characters. John Irving, this is another good one! - , New book shows lavish Shakespeare illustrations B Y CARL H ARTMAN • FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS · "Shakespeare/The Hlustrated and Updated Edition" (HarperColli ns, 256 pages, $29.99), by Bill ~ryson: There's no play attributed to Shakespeare about a Puritan woman who whipped her cat for catching mice on Sunday. The Jack doesn't prevent Btll Bryson's biography of the poet from including a picture of the legendary scene. It recalls Shakespeare's dislike of Puritans such as the comic Malvolio in "Twelfth Night." The scores of pictures ge from little sketches • ch as the woman and her cat, tucked into the comer of a page, to a brightly colored four-page panorama of London in the 1600s. This one image stretches across the inside of both the front and back covers. Text as well as pictures make it a great Christmas gift to any earnest highschooler trying for advanced placement in English. : The text reproduces part of the panorama, with an inset of a building captioned "'The Globe." Meticulously and entertainingly, the author explains that a recent scholar showed pretty conclusively that the panorama derives from a drawing done 30 years earlier, before the theater of that name existed. The Dutch engraver of the panorama seems never to have been to London. Still, it's one of the few pictures we have of what Shakespeare's theater may have resembled. Portraits reproduced in full pages show what two of his rivals - Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson - actually looked like. Bryson carefully evaluates pictures accepted or supposed to be of Shakespeare himself. They include the Cobbe portrait, long thought to represent Sir Walter Raleigh but recently endorsed - or rejected - as Shakespeare by scholars in a 21st-century dispute. Time may tell, Bryson says. but those convinced it's Shakespeare have an uphill fight. Winning author tells story of civil rights pioneer BY CLARKE CANFIELD ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND, Maine Maine author Phillip Hoose said winning a National Book Award for his chronicle of a young civil rights pioneer was all the more moving because she took the stage with him when he accepted the honor. Hoose won the young people's literature award for "Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice'' at the 60th annual National Book Awards. held Wednesday night in New York. He based his book on the true story of Claudette Colvin. who as a 15-yearold schoolgirl was dragged off a bus in Montgomery, Ala., for refusing to give up her seat to a white woman. She made her stand against racism and prejudice months before a similar incident made Rosa Parks a national symbol for the civil rights struggle of the 1950s, which led to landmark court decisions and new legislation to right the wrongs. A few minutes before the winner was announced. Hoose asked the 70-yearold Colvin, who had joined him at the ceremony, if she would accept the award with him if he won. "When she stood, there was sort of an audible gasp. There was a wave that went through the room when people realized she was with me. that that person in history was there in that room,'' Hoose said in a telephone interview Thursday from New York. For the book, Hoose told AP photo Phillip Hoose, left, winner of the 2009 National Book Award for Young People's Literature for his book "Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice", speaks as Claudette Colvin, the subject of his book, stands with him at the National Book Awards Wednesday in New York. the story of Colvin's bold act March 2, 1955, when she was physically removed from the bus, handcuffed and taken to jail for refusing to give up her seat. Partly told in Colvin's voice, the book relates the indignity the teenage girl felt when she had to heed the bus driver's orders on a trip she routinely took to and from school every day. She was charged with vio lating segregation Jaws, disorderlv conduct and assault. Two charges were later dropped, but she ha~ to pay a small fine for an assault conviction, for fighting back against the officers who dragged her off the bus. The following year, Colvin wa~ one of four black female plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of segregated pub[ic transportation. A federal court ruled in their favor, and the· U.S. Supreme Court upheld the decision. Still. Colvin's saga has been little more than a · footnote to history while Parks. the nine black students who desegregated Little Rock Central High SchooL' Martin Luther King Jr. and others went on to become celebrated symbols of bravery and dignity in their campaign for civil rights. In accepting the award, Hoose thanked Colvin for sharing her story with him and future generations . Hoose, 62, has written nine books and was a finalist for a prestigious National Book Award in 200 I for "We Were There, Too! Young People in U.S. History." "Having experienced both . I can tell you that winning sure feels better than losing," he said.

"we are going to knock your socks off," she said. "The countdown to the end of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' starts now." CBS Television Distribution, which distributes the show to more than 200 U.S. markets, held out hope it could continue doing business with Winfrey. perhaps producing a new show out of its studios in Los Angeles. "We know that anything she turns her hand to will be a great success." the CBS Corp. unit said in a statement. "We look forward to working with her for the next several years. and hopefully afterwards as well." Many fans heading into Harpo Studios on Friday morning seemed to support Winfrey's decision to end the show. "You always want to end a show when people want more - and not when people are sick of watching you," said Rebecca Switaj, 31, of Chicago. Said Sandra Donaldson, 59, of Indianapolis: "It's time to elevate to something new. Whatever she does is going to be a blessing. It's going to be rewarding and eye-openi.ng. Her . . name alone opens doors:· Once a local Chicago mornmg program, the production evolved into television's top-rated talk show for more than two decades, airing in 145 countries worldwide and watched by an estimated 42 million viewers a week in the U.S. alone.

Winfrey's 24th season opened thts year With a bang, as she drew more than 20,000 fans to Chicago's Magnificent Mile for a block party with the Black .Eyed.Peas. She ~al­ lowed with a series of blockbuster mterviews - Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, singer Whitney Houston and ESPN's Erin Andrews. and just this week. former Alas~a governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palm. As a newcomer, ''The Oprah Winfrey S~ow" chipped away at talk-show king Phil Donahue's dommance. Later, it turned to inspiration. The show:s. coverage ranged. from interviews with the world's celebnties to an honest discussion about Winfrey's weight struggles. "As the :;how evolved, it really kind of dressed up the neighborhood of the daytime talk show." Thompson said. In 1986, pianist-showman Liberace gave his ~na1 TV interview to Winfrey, just six weeks before he dted. In a 1993 prime-time special, Michael Jackson rev~aled he ~uf­ fered from a skin condition that produces dep1gmentat10n.

In 2004 Winfrey unveiled her most famous g1veaway, when neariy 300 members of the studio a~di~nce opened a gift box to find the keys to a new car ms1~e. Th~ stunt became a classic show moment as much for Wmfrey s rtaction - "You get a car! Yo~ get a .c~r! Yo~ get a car! Everybody gets a car!'' - as Its $7 millton pnce tag. The show also bequne a launching pad for Oprah's Book Club which then launched best-sellers. The titles ranged from "Song of Solomon" and ''Paradise" by Toni Morrison to Wally Lamb's "She's Come Undone" and Elie Wiesel's "Night." For others, the selection backfired. "A Million Little Pieces" exploded in sales after Winfr~y chose the James Frey memoir in fall 2005. Soon after, 1t was revealed as a fabricated tale of addiction and recovery, and Winfrey later chewed out Frey on her show. "I call her 'Queen of the New Consciousness' because she did so many things to change lives, t~e books that she promoted," said hip-hop mogul Russel~. Stmmons. The loss of "The Oprah Winfrey Show would. be a .blow to CBS Corp., which earns a percentage of hefty hc~nsmg fees from TV stations that use it - largely ABC affiliates. CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves told analysts two weeks ago that the contract with the show runs through most of 20 11 and "if there's a negative impact, it wouldn't hit us until '12." • "Oprah's been a force of media and there's really no person you can look to out there who you could say. 'That's the heir apparent,"' said Larry Gerbrandt, an analyst for Media Valuation Partners in Los Angeles. Gerbrandt noted many stations build their schedules around Winfrey's show. "It's a big loss, but not as huge as it would have ~n 10 yeru:s ago," he said. "H~wever, it s~ll com~an~s the ~1ggest ~~di­ ence and ABC statton competitors ru·e lickmg therr chops. Talk of the show's end often has accompanied Winfrey's contract negotiations. Before signing her current contract in 2004, she talked about quitting after the 2005-2006 season. As far back as 1995, she called continuing "a difficult and important decision." . . . Winfrey started her broadcastmg career m Nashville, Tenn., and Baltimore. Md., before relocating to Chicago in 1984 to host WLS-TV's morning talk show "A.M. Chicago" - which became ''The Oprah Winfrey Show" one year later. She set•up Harpo the following year and her talk show went into syndication. · Powered by the show's staggering success, Winfrey built a media empire. Harpo Studios produces shows hosted by Dr. Phil McGraw and celebrity chef Rachael Ray. 0, The Oprah Magazine was the nation's 7th most popular magazine in the first half of 2009. "I came from nothing," Winfrey wrote in the 1998 book "Journey to Beloved." "No power. No money. Not even my thoughts were my own. I had no free will. No voice. Now.

The end is near as Hollywood does the apocalypse B Y D AVIO GERMAIN ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - It's the end of the world as we know it, and Hollywood feels fine. Global warming, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, continuing terrorist threats and the economic meltdown have people in a gloomy, even end-of-days frame of mind. Filmmakers are tapping into worries about humanity's future with apocalyptic sagas such as "2012," "The Road" and "The Book of Eli," along with documentaries about environmental or economic doom. ' End-of-the-world stories have been a cinema subgenre since the early Cold War days with such nuclearwar movies as "On the Beach," "Fail-Safe" and "Dr. Strangelove." The advent of environmentalism and overpopulation concerns resulted in another wave of films depicting bleak futures, among them "Soylent Green:· "Silent Running" and "The Omega Man.'' "We always need a boogeyman, we always need the end of the world:' said Terry Gilliam, whose include 1995's films "Twelve Monkeys." about a world where plague has wiped out most of humanity. "I think it's the problem of being in a Christian society. It's based on it. If you don't have the end of the world, you don't get heaven and eternity.'' On the heels of AI Gore's global-warming alarm "An Inconvenient Truth:' doomsday is an especially fertile subject today, and currel)t tales of the ·apocalypse take many forms: • Plagues of vampires with Ethan Hawke's upcoming ·'Daybreakers" and zombies with the hOITOr comedy "Zombieland" and "George Romero ·s Survival of the Dead." • Economic calamity with the documentary "Collapse," a portrait of a pessimist convinced industrial civilization is poised to crumble. • Environmental catastrophe with the part-fiction, part-fact ''The Age of Stupid," about a mid-21st century archivist looking back on our times from a world ravaged by global warming. • Devastating warfare between humans and machines with the sci-fi sequel " Terminator Salvation" and the animated . adventure "9 ." "The big difference now is it's multiple things," said John Hillcoat. director of ''The Road," opening Nov. 25 and starring Viggo Mortensen in an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel about a father and son trekking across a decimated America. The Cold War "was all about Russia and America and the nuclear threat, 'but now it's on so many levels. The environment. there's still the nuclear threat in a way that's more viable with rogue terrorists. and there's kind of the economic thing," Hillcoat said. "Also a decade l think of the Bush administration is enough for anyone to seriously contemplate it on a daily basis." Denzel Washington ·s "The Book of ElL'' opening Jan. 15. also is a post-apocalyptic road trip across America. He plays a warrior-prophet traveling the land as keeper of knowledge that can save humanity. In theaters Friday, "2012" is the latest disaster story from director Roland Emmerich, this one taking the devastation even beyond what he depicted in the alien-invasion tale "Independence Day" or the global-warming saga "The Day After Tomorrow." Pretty much all of us would be condemned to a nasty death in the scenario laid out in "20 12" - the Earth's crust shifting and tumbling into the oceans after solar neutrinos heat up the planet's core. Yet the filmmakers also see it as a fresh start of sorts, at least for a few lucky survivors. ''The disaster on our film, I see it as a backdrop of a · much bigger story, which is a new beginning, not the end," said "2012'' producer and composer Harald Kloser, who co-wrote the screenplay with Emmerich.

Deep-frying. Wood-smoking. Sous FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS vide. The mind-numbing number of suggestions for mining flavor from the typically unforgiving Thanksgiving bird have proliferated in recent years. Thb year, leave them all behind. For tasty fowl on Turkey Day, the new thing can be the old thing: a classic one-two punch of an overnight brine followed by a quicK morning rub before the bird goes into the oven for a slow roast. The good news is that while the process requires a little planning, little hands-on time is needed. And the payoff - white meat that doesn't need a gravy bath to be choked down - is worth it. BY Rubs are a great way to tailor your Turkey Day bird to your specific taste. A Brown sugar and cider turkey rub is slathered both on and under the birds skin prior to roasting to give it a rich and sweet flavor. THE BRINE "It's a couple of minutes, but you are going get much more flavor." Jack Bishop, of ok's Illustrated magazine. says of brining, • a technique in which the turkey is bathed in seasoned salt water to help it retain moisture during roastmg. . "The theory behind brining is that the white meat tends to overcook, and by the time the dark meat cooks the white is dried out. I brine my turkey Wednesday night and in the morning I am good to go." Brining is essentially what Butterball has been doing for decades. And that's the caveat. Don't brine a bird that's already been plumped with a salted, seasoned solution. such as a kosher bird, says Bishop. Be sure to read the l<ibels. The one disadvantage is that the drippings (and even the turkey) can be salty. To moderate this, most people add sugar to the brine. Brent Young, one of the butchers at The Meat Hook in Brooklyn, N.Y., like,s brown sugar. "The sugar balances the salt a little," he says. "Also, the sugar will penetrate the skin as well. And since sugar browns so well, you get that picture perfect golden hue .to your turkey. Brown sugar is better than regular for a more caramelized flavor." Because a turkey must be refrigerated during ning. you need a bucket large enough to d the bird (plus liquid), yet small enough to in your refrigerator. Alternatively, most grocers sell special bags for brining turkeys. These fit more easily in most refrigerators. ' • BROWN SUGAR TURKEY BRINE For more flavor, you also can add whole peppercorns. cumin, coriander and crushed garlic.

Submerge the turkey, then cover the bucket or seal the bag. Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. When ready to roast, remove the turkey, rinse under cool water, then pat dry with paper towels. THE RUB Once the bird is out of the brine, it's time to rub in some flavor. A mix of spices or herbs diluted in a little bit of fat, such as butter or oil, is rubbed on the meat, both under and over the skin. The options are limited only by the flavors AP photo you enjoy. If using fresh herbs, be sure to mince them well. And there's nothing wrong with using a purchased seasoning mix (whether or not it's called a rub). Just be sure to go easy. Too much and you will overpower the meat. "That's one of the great things about spice rubs or spice pastes, they are concentrated in flavor. It doesn't take a whole lot of spice to get a deep and good taste,'' says John Willoughby, who was executive editor of the recently closed Gourmet magazine. But to get those flavors deep into the meat, you:ll need to rub the mixture both over and under the skin, says Bishop. 'That involves gently lifting and pulling the skin away from the flesh. rubbing the seasonings under it, then patting the skin back down. To give the bird a little kick, lightly dust the outside with ground black pepper. To make a rub for a 12- to 14-pound bird. you will need about 2 tablespoons of low- or no-salt seasoning (such as dried herbs) mixed with 1/4 cup of oil or butter. Be wary of any purchased seasoning mixture that contains salt the brining adds enough salt. Need some ideas? Try toasted cumin. ginger. coriander, smoked paprika and orange zest diluted in a neutral oil, such as canota. Or try finely chopped fresh sage and garlic' mixed into brown butter. THE ROAST There are many theories about the best roasting technique. Some advocate an even temperature - usually somewhere 325 F and 400 F - throughout the cooking. Others crank the heat to 425 F at the beginning, then finish at a lower temperature. For a good basic roast for a 12-pound turkey. statt it at 400 F for an hour, then reduce the temperature to 350 F, tent it with foil and roast for about another 1 1/2 hours. \Vhatever your approach on temperature, prepping the bird for the oven is key. Wrap the wings in foil and tuck them behind the neck. This helps prevent them from burning. Also tie the ends of the legs together with twine to help contain the juices. When roasting, it's also important to cook the 'turkey on a rack set into a roasting pan. This ensures the bird roasts evenly. Fill the pan with a few large chopped carrots and onions and a bit of liquid (water. \vine or broth) to give the drippings added flavor. Roast the turkey, basting every 30 minutes with juice from the pan, until the breast registers 160 F and the thickest part of the thigh reaches 170 F. About midway through. tent the bird with foil to keep the skin from burning. Remove the turkey from the oven and let the bird rest at least 20 minutes before carving.

Here are all the numbers you need to have a safe, worry-free and delicious Turkey Day dinner. All serving estimates are generous to allow for plenty of seconds and leftovers. HOW BIG? For turkeys under 16 pounds, estimate 1 pound per serving (this accounts for bone weight). For larger birds. a bit less is fine; they have a higher meat-to-bone ratio. But if your goal is plenty of leftovers, aim for 1 I /2 pounds per person whatever the turkey's size. • For 8 people, buy a 12pound turkey • For 10 people, buy a 15pound turkey • For 12 people. buy an 18pound turkey • For 14 people, buy a 20pound turkey THE BIG THAW? ·~----------------------------­ There is something to be said for the "splurt" sound made when dumping a can of cranberry sauce into a serving bowl. Ditto for the ridges etched in the sides of the sauce. Thanksgiving. after all, is about tradition. But the official condiment of Turkey Day can be so much more. And without much more effort. The easiest way is to simply follow the directions on the back of a bag of fresh cranberries, which usually involves dumping the cranberries, a somewhat scary amount of sugar and a bit of water into a saucepan and boiling until thick. Getting more creative - and more flavorful - isn't hard. These three quick recipes are med with flavor. The first, a ked chutney-style sauce that • sports warm, spicy flavors, is the easiest. The second offers a sweeter take; it's studded with dried fruit. Or for something a little different, try the third, a spicy uncooked cranberry salsa. The heat of the jalapeno is just enough to complement the other flavors of the meal without competing. J.M. HIRSCH ASSOCIATED PRESS The safest way to thaw a frozen turkey is in the refrigerator. You'll need about 24 hours per 4 to 5 pounds of turkey. You also can put the turkey in a sink of cold water. Chan!!e the water every 30 minutes, and plan for about 30 minutes per pound. THE BRINE Never brine a turkey for more than about 8 to 10 hours. Much longer and the meat will be too salty. Always keep the bird refrigerated during brining. If the turkey is too big, an ice-filled cooler stored outside is fine. too. THE ROAST Roasting temperatures vary widely by recipe. Some go at a slow and steady 325 F. Others crank the heat to 400 F or 425 F for the first hour, then drop it down for the rest of the time. However you roast, use an instant read thermometer inserted at the innermost part of the thigh (without touching bone) to determine when your turkey is done. The meat needs to hit 165 F for safe eating, though some people say thigh meat tastes better at 170 F. The following roasting time estimates are based on a stuffed turkey cooked at 325 F. Reduce cooking time by 20 to 40 minutes for turkeys that are not stuffed. And remember. a crowded oven cooks more slowly, so plan ahead if your bird needs to share the space. • 12-pound turkey: 3 to 4 hours at 325 F • 15-pound turkey: 4 to 4 l/2 hours at 325 F • 18-pound turkey: 4 1/2 to 5 hours at 325 F • 20-pound turkey: 5 to 6 hours at 325 F ••• SPICY CRANBERRY SALSA AP photo Homemade cranberry sauce, while lacking that familiar sound and shape when putting out canned, gives you a truly flavor packed condiment with little effort.

During my tenure with the help and dedication of the community we have increased the number of youth being served and the opportunities being provided for our youth. In 2008 in the state of Ohio 332,260 children participated in some form of 4H program. Over 600 of these youth were in Meigs County participating in community clubs, after school programs. school enrichment, and camps. This positive youth development efforts are something the whole community can be proud of. 4-H teaches life skills through learning activities that are active, engaging, and encourages reflection of the participant Through this youth are developing communication, teamwork, decision making, subject matter skills and much more. In addition to skills 'learned 4-H provides opportunities for youth to go and do - whether is going to 4H Camp, Washington D. C. or participating at the county fair each member is learning from doing. Youth participate through 4-H in a variety of ways. A child may join Cloverbuds (an activity based non-competitive program) when they are 5 and in Kindergarten. When a youth is 8 years old and in the third grade they can become project members in the community clubs. This is the base of the traditional program for 4-H. Youth participate in a 4-H Club developing life skills and learning subject matter in the form of projects. 4-H members have the opportunity to compete with other members by project judging that happens either at summer judging or at the fair. Other opportunities to participate in 4-H activities are available through after schooL school enrichment, or camp. As youth become teens they are able to participate in Teen Leaders Club, Camp Counseling, or activities at the state or even national level. 4-H has something for everyone. All of these efforts would not be possible without the generous support of 4-H volunteers. parents, and community supports. This is the time of ·year to begin the process of getting involved with 4-H as either a volunteer or a parent. OSU Extension Meigs County is currently accepting applications for new volunteers and new clubs through Feb. 1. The staff would also be pleased to help find youth clubs to participate in Meigs County 4H. If you are a 4-H alumni what better gift to give your child than the chance to have a great 4-H- experience, or if you have never been involved in 4-H it's a great time to start. Individuals interested in serving as a volunteer next year are encouraged to start the volunteer process soon. Applications are available at the Meigs Extension Office or on line at www.Meigs.osu.edu. If you have questions on how to get involved or how to locate a community club near you please contact OSU Extension Meigs County at 992-6696. Here's a pretty stand-in for traditional cranberry BY LEE REICH FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Not to be unpatriotic, but another ''cranberry" outour traditional shines Thanksgiving cranberry. This fruit, sometimes called mountain cranberry. partridge berry or fox berry. is esteemed in other parts of the world. You may know it by its Scandinavian name, lingonberry. because that's where it is most popular, with many thousands of tons harvested each year from the wild. Lingonberries are not a great commercial fruit when compared to the Thanksgiving cranberry, yielding only about half as much under cultivated conditions and a tenth as much when harvested wild. Then again, ·compared to the Thanksgiving cranberry. lingonberry cultivation is still in its infancy. A BACKYARD STAR It is as a backyard fruit that lingonberry shines. First, for its looks. Picture a bushy plant, no more than a half-foot high, covered with leaves as dainty as mouse ears and as lustrous green as holly leaves. Evergreen, too. Like cranberry, lingonberry is a spreading plant that eventually blankets the ground in a solid green mat. Here's an edible groundcover that might stand in for the more usual vinca or pachysandra. Come spring. the flowers that dangle from lingonberry stems look like rosy white urns. Little urns, so move up close to best appreciate them. And get up close to the plants again in midsummer, when lingonberries put on a second show. Two waves of flowers give way to two waves of fruit, the first ripening in summer and the second in fall. No need to rush the fall harvest because the berries keep well on the plants, in terms of eating and looks, almost all winter. Like our Thanksgiving cranberry.lingonberry fruits are red and tart - but lingonberries are not too tart to pop right into your mouth. They are delicious as a fresh Sunday, November 22, 2009 EXTENSION (ORNER BY HAL KNEEN Have A Happy Thanksgiving! We certainly have a lot to be thankful for. Take time this Thanksgiving season to give thanks to the home gardeners, farmers and grocers who have provided so much for us to enjoy at such a low cost. Corrine Alexander, Purdue Agricultural Economist states that "Americans enjoy a wonderful, high quality food supply that for the average American family it costs less than 10 percent of their take-home income." In many undeveloped countries food costs average sixty percent of take home pay while other developed counties' may pay up to thirty percent. Like our ancestors. many families this year are utilizing what was grown in their gardens to supplement the ham or turkey on the table. Count how many items were grown by you or supplied by local farmers. Did you know we have locally grown hams and turkeys? If purchasing items for dinner ask for locally grownsweet potatoes, potatoes, green beans, corn. beets, turnips, lettuce. spinach, squash, cabbage, and parsnips. Don't forget to buy apples. or take out of the freezer cherries. grapes or pumpkin for pie. Add a little zip to your celebration with jams, jelly and "jello" using local fruit picked this summer such as strawberries, blackberries, raspberries~ blueberries. apples and pears.

They make an especially tasty sauce or jam when combined with lowbush blueberries. another spreading plant and one with which lingonberry combines particularly well in the garden, too.' GET THE SOIL RIGHT Lingonberry and blueberry are such congenial companions in the ground because both require the same specialized soil conditions, that is, soils that are very acidic, well drained and rich in humus. Easily create these soil conditions by digging plenty of acidic peat moss into the soil before planting and, after planting and from then on, maintaining a mulch of some organic material such as shredded leaves, fine bark or sawdust on top of the ground. The mulch will keep the soil cool and moist and, as it decomposes, enrich the soil with humus. If the soil acidity remains above 5 .5 even after mixing in the peat moss. spread pelletized sulfur over the ground (I to 2 pounds per hundred square feet, depend- ing on the change needed). Lingonberries are not hungry plants. so fertilize lightly. if at all. Use a fertilizer such as soybean or cottonseed meal at a rate of no more than 1 pound per hundred square feet. separate live show prior to the Junior Market Beef Show during the Fair.
