Ill COLUMBUS - In a recent letter drafted to the 81 member communities signed up to invest in the American Municipal Power Station, Generation · American Municipal Ppwer~Ohio's chief .executive officer. recently addressed how the economy is impacting the project. Mark. Gerken · stated: "Despite the downturn in the ec()nomy, AMP-Ohio issued a billion dollars in project financing in 2008, mcluding issuing $760 million in bonds for the Prairie State coal generation Project." Gerken went on to say: "AMP-Ohio has positioned itself well in terms of the AMPGS project. Our commercial paper program and line-of-credit give us the ability to wait for a more · optimum time to go to the bond market for peonanent financing. We're not being forced into the market prematurely.'' Gerken also said another aspect of the current economic downturn that will benefit tbe projec.t is a "significarif softening of the commodities market." He added: ''In recent months the price of steel and other raw materials has been decreasing. a fact that will benefit this project and will also have a positive impact on the construction schedule." Gerken also addressed criticism of the AMPGS · cost estimate made by opponents. "These activist groups have mis-characterized cost estimates for the project in an effort to bolster their rhetoric." Gerken said. He went on to say the initial cost estimate of $1.2 bil- · lion was an "off-the-shelf estimate:· was no.t sj)ecific to the AMPGS project and didn't include all elements · of the projects such as transmission upgrades. .and Powerspan. Gerken said the more accurate comparison is the $2.5 billion estimate in June 2007 in the initial AMPGS project feasibility study performed by RW Beck. the project's owner engineer. This was the first estimate specific to the project that included all development . aspects. according to Gerken. ' . ~ _.~ ~ . \ .

Pulling lease sale doesn't end W.Va. energy debate CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The Bureau of Land Management's decision to scrap u proposed oil and gus lease auction on the Monongahela National Forest doesn't end the debate on whether the forest's natural . resources should be tapped, · says the forest's supervisor. · The forest covers 919,000 acres in West Vtrginia and about 62 percent of the oil and gas locked in formations below the forest is owned by the federal government. About 24 percent has been leased. Although forest decisions. are guided by a management pial), Supervisor Clyde Thompson said it becomes a balancing act between caring for the forest and capitalizin§ on its resources. · · 'Energy issl)es will prob. ably consume us in the next · decade." Thompson said. "What's in the public interest here.". The BLM had planned to auction off leases for 2,317 acres in the forest 's ·spruce · Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area. The agency piilled the leases from. this :Thursday 's auctjon after · receiving protests from the Friends of Blackwater Canyon and The Wilderness Society. The decision was made to : give BLM additional time to · review the groups' concerns. . about water protection, recreation loss and threats to already endangered species, said Terry Lewis with the BLM's Eastern Statescoffice : in Virginia. · ' Pulling the leases, however, doesn't mean BLM won't entertain requests to auction off drilling rights in the future, he added. There is an estimated 280 billion cubic teet of federally owned natural gas beneath the forest. When combined with privately held resources, there could be as much as 860 bcf. according to the forest's latest land and resource management plan. forest officials say there are 17 production wells on forest property, 16 of which tap federally owned.gus deposits. For the past 50 years, . drilling has focused on the Oriskany. and other formations. It's unknown how much gas is held in the · Marcellus shaie. which stretches from New York to West Virginia and is estimated to hold trillions of cubic feet of natural gas. There are no Marcellus wells currently in the forest. When the current forest plan wus revised in 2006, it was estimated that 66 new wells could be drilled, 19 miles of roadway built and 78 miles 'uf pipeline developed over the next decade. Income from the sale of forest resources isn't returned to the forest. Likewise. it's not up to forest officials to ~ecide which tracks of .land are nominated for BLM lease sales. If a company is interested in el(p)oring an area. it . asks the BLM to put the land up for auction. Federal wilderness areas are el(empt. Backcountry areas can be leased, but companies cannot disturb the surface with drilling rigs, roads or pipelines. Exploration companies have to use directional drilling or other techniques in areas where surface disturbances are not allowed. ties between rich and poor districts.

Pulling lease sale doesn't end W.Va. energy debate CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - The Bureau of Land Management's decision to scrap u proposed oil and gus lease auction on the Monongahela National Forest doesn't end the debate on whether the forest's natural . resources should be tapped, · says the forest's supervisor. · The forest covers 919,000 acres in West Vtrginia and about 62 percent of the oil and gas locked in formations below the forest is owned by the federal government. About 24 percent has been leased. Although forest decisions. are guided by a management pial), Supervisor Clyde Thompson said it becomes a balancing act between caring for the forest and capitalizin§ on its resources. · · 'Energy issl)es will prob. ably consume us in the next · decade." Thompson said. "What's in the public interest here.". The BLM had planned to auction off leases for 2,317 acres in the forest 's ·spruce · Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area. The agency piilled the leases from. this :Thursday 's auctjon after · receiving protests from the Friends of Blackwater Canyon and The Wilderness Society. The decision was made to : give BLM additional time to · review the groups' concerns. . about water protection, recreation loss and threats to already endangered species, said Terry Lewis with the BLM's Eastern Statescoffice : in Virginia. · ' Pulling the leases, however, doesn't mean BLM won't entertain requests to auction off drilling rights in the future, he added. There is an estimated 280 billion cubic teet of federally owned natural gas beneath the forest. When combined with privately held resources, there could be as much as 860 bcf. according to the forest's latest land and resource management plan. forest officials say there are 17 production wells on forest property, 16 of which tap federally owned.gus deposits. For the past 50 years, . drilling has focused on the Oriskany. and other formations. It's unknown how much gas is held in the · Marcellus shaie. which stretches from New York to West Virginia and is estimated to hold trillions of cubic feet of natural gas. There are no Marcellus wells currently in the forest. When the current forest plan wus revised in 2006, it was estimated that 66 new wells could be drilled, 19 miles of roadway built and 78 miles 'uf pipeline developed over the next decade. Income from the sale of forest resources isn't returned to the forest. Likewise. it's not up to forest officials to ~ecide which tracks of .land are nominated for BLM lease sales. If a company is interested in el(p)oring an area. it . asks the BLM to put the land up for auction. Federal wilderness areas are el(empt. Backcountry areas can be leased, but companies cannot disturb the surface with drilling rigs, roads or pipelines. Exploration companies have to use directional drilling or other techniques in areas where surface disturbances are not allowed. ties between rich and poor districts.

The daffodils and forsythia are blooming; so make sure your sprays of lime sulfur, Bordeaux and/or horticultural oils are applied to dormant fruit trees. Lime sulfur or Bordeaux mixture need to be applied to brambles and grapes to reduce anlbracoose stem diseases. Before you spray. make sure you read label directions. Remove any dead or diseased branches. canes or vines before bud swell. Overcrowded p!ant material creates a better environment for diseases and allows overwintering insects places to bide.

Sunday, March tS. 2009 SIGw, ' CINCINNATI (AP) Child welfare organizaaioos and the Americu Civil Liberties Union are criticizing an Ohio county's adoption and foster parent policy that gives preference to manied couples. They question whether the policy in Butler County discriminates against samesex and unmarried couples as well as single people. They sa~ they're also concerned 11 will discourage prospective parents from trying to adopt children . Some states have enacted laws thai go even further by banning unmarried coupleS as adoptive or foster parents. The American Civil Libenies is challenging those l;tws.

OHIO Extension Comer Spring will soon be here Before you know it, spring will be here! Only five dayskft! . The daffodils and forsythia are blooming; so make sure your sprays of lime sulfur, Bordeaux and/or horticultural oils are applied to dormant fruit trees. Lime sulfur or Bordeaux mixture need to be applied to brambles and grapes to reduce anlbracoose stem diseases. Before you spray. make sure you read label directions. Remove any dead or diseased branches. canes or vines before bud swell. Overcrowded p!ant material creates a better environment for diseases and allows overwintering insects places to bide.

Sunday, March tS. 2009 SIGw, ' CINCINNATI (AP) Child welfare organizaaioos and the Americu Civil Liberties Union are criticizing an Ohio county's adoption and foster parent policy that gives preference to manied couples. They question whether the policy in Butler County discriminates against samesex and unmarried couples as well as single people. They sa~ they're also concerned 11 will discourage prospective parents from trying to adopt children . Some states have enacted laws thai go even further by banning unmarried coupleS as adoptive or foster parents. The American Civil Libenies is challenging those l;tws.

"We're hearing of cattle that will be moving and farms that will be selling out," said Scott Higgin·s. chief executive of the Ohio Dairy Producers Association. "These are circumstances where producers make decisions like that." In an effort to bring the supply of milk back in l!ne with demand. about 75.000 cows were "retired" from dairy work last year through a national progrdm meant to reduce a dairy supply that has outpaced demand, said Chris Galen, spokesman for the National·Milk Producers Federation.

The prices that farmers received for Class lll ·milk. which is used in cheese production. were high throughout almost all of 2008. Then the bottom .fell out.

Even flower lovers without green thumbs can find ways to save. Those who lack the time or expertise to do anything but stop by a greenhouse for annuals can cut costs by choosing low-maintenance varieties that spread out in the garden, requiring fewer plants to fill ,a space. Some annuals ;rre cheaper when purchased as bulbs rather than plants. Still , there is no way around it: Achieving significant savings can take time and effort. "Growing thin~s from seed is absolutely the cheapest way to go:' sa1d Ann Hancock , a horticulturalist at Michigan State University's DeLapa Perennial Garden in East Lansing, Mich .

It 's OK to plant the seeds densely. Start them about six weeks before you intend to plant them outside. • Use clean containers with holes in the bottom for good drainage. Wash them in a solution of bleach and water for at least three minutes if they've been used before. There's no need to invest in new plastic pots even paper cups will work . • Keep the seed mix moist by checking it frequently and misting it with a sprayer. rather than pouring water on it. • After planting the seeds, cover the container ·with plastic wrap to help prevent them from drying out. • To ensure adequate light and ·minimize the risk of the . seedlings drying out. put the containers under a fluorescent shop light or ultraviolet light rather than in direct sunlight. Hang the light about 3 inches above the containers . • When the plliiJts come up, remove the plastic wrap. • When the plants become seedling size, transplant them to a tray with cells. using soilless mix and putting one plant in each cell. : • When the seedlings get three or four leaves , they're . ~ady to go into the garden. ·· . . . Plants that can be started indoors or seeded d1rectly mto the garden include zinnias, marigolds, snapdragons, sunflowers and nasturtiums. Sunflowers in particular ·can be started from seed pretty easily. and there are many kinds to choose from, said Charlie Nardozzi. a National Gardening Association horti, culturist based in Burlington, Vt. · "Some of the newer varieties are not as big as the old varieties, and they have multiple heads," Nardozzi said: "They produce from midsummer right to frost." A bonus with sunflowers: birdseed. Other good varieties to start indoors from seed include cosmos, petunias and cleome. also known as spider flower. Plugging into a network of flower. enthusmsts can be another way to save. said Ellen Hartranft, .a horticulturist at Brookside Gardens , a public botanical park in Wheaton. Md . . Check your local botanical garden for plant society shows and sales. go to charity plant sales or take part in garden club plant exchanges. "If you can't find a formal sale, just ask your friends and neighbors. If someone you know has a beautiful garden. they're often willing to share cuttings or divisions," Hartranft said. Spring is a11 ideal time to ask, because that's when gardeners are often dividing perennials into . multiple plants. '.' It's a good way to get a more established plant even than you would if you purchased it at a nursery," she said. "A division of a sturdy. successful , heruty plant is more likely to succeed in your garden :• · - Day lilies. bee balm, black-eyed susan, phlox, live forever and hostas are among easy-to-divide, easy-to-care-for perennials. For novices. buying plants from a greenhouse is often the safest option. Nardozzi said. Greenhouse annuals that grow to cover a lot of ground include impatiens . petunias. cosmos , snapdragons and marigolds. Annuals and perennials that can be cheaper if purchased as bulbs include caladiums, begonia's and dahlias . And plant prices come down after peak growing 'season. "They might be a little ragged-looking. but you can save 40 or 50 percent,'' Nardozzi said. The plants can bounce right ba~k with a little tender Iovin~ care, he added. . Gardeners in areas with poor sot! can save by creating · r-aised beds . building up the sides with cinderblocks. brick or other material and then putting fresh soil in, to lessen the chance the soi l will flatten out or leach away and have to be replaced. Nardozzi said. Those who decide to skip flowers this year would do well to put in a cover crop such as buckwheat or rye grass that can be cut or turned under. Nardozzi said. That will look ·nice, build up the soil's fertility for riext year's garden and · . help control weeds. Still ,even in the Great Depression people had flower gardens, Hartranft noted. "People can actually grow vegetables in their flower borders," she said. "The act of gardening relieves stress, and it's important to have beauty when you're surrounded by depressing news." Added Michigan State's Hancock : " I would never advocate buying !lowers if you have a house payment or an electricity bill to pay. But having said that. if you have your basics covered . you know. !lowers are good for the soul." Civil War group Saturday, Feb.

This week, John Morton. who participated in seven winter Olympic games as an athlete and coach, is in Meigs County to survey and begin designs on the cross country course . Morton .designed the cross country course for the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. The MLEF cross country course will be located behind Meigs High School and will be at least five kilometers long. Frank Blake of the MLEF said the organization hopes to have earth work started on the track within the next month and definitely ho~es to have it up for runnmg this fall. There will be more on the course and Morton in an upcoming · edition of The Daily Sentinel. . · Blake said the MLEF has hired an architectural firm which is doing all the master planning and engineering as to how the site will look when completed. There has been some limited site work done. including core drilling where the new football stadium is to stand which is directly on top of . the curreni practice field. , However. the MLEF is quick to point out the project is not "just a football . field." The cross cou ntry track will also be used as and intertwined with nature trails avai lable to everyone. A playground and park is also in the works for behind the old Salisbury School which is where the track will sit as well . Also pro, posed is a rubberized track designed for walking and running programs among other recreutional and educutional projects for both the community and Meigs Local phases. · Blake said the MLEF still hopes to have the phases completed .by fall 2010. He added that all the possible uses of the new facilities and trails is only limited to the imagination. · "This is something the commun ity can use for years to come and that's its greatest benefit," Blake s~id : • ., � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
