Ala. · - Brad Keselowski is a young man we shall get to know better. , Keselowski is 25 years old and is the son, grandson and nephew of race drivers. His uncle, Ron Keselowski, finished eighth in a 1971 Talladega · race and had two top-five finishes at NASCAR's top level. . Brad, from Rochester Hills, Mich., became the lOth driver to win for the first time at Talladega Superspeed· way, pulling off a truly historic upset in the Aaron's 499. It was only his fifth Sprint Cup race. He has won twice at the Nationwide Series level, where he drives a Chevrolet fielded by JR Motorsports. That's JR, as in Junior. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Keselowski was already considered a potential future star. No one, least of all car OWJ\er James Finch, thought stardom would begin at Talladega, or anywhere else this $oon. Perhaps a quarter-mile shy of.the finish line, Keselowski pulled first high, then low, trying to pass Carl Ed· · wards. Edwards tried to block. The. two cars made contact. Edwards' Ford careened to the right, took a hit from Ryan Newman's Chevy, and sailed air· borne into the track's catch fencing. · Keselowski crossed the finish line first. He was sorry the crash happened but unapologetic about his own actions. "I got under him (Edwards), barely, but enough to have position oo him," said Keselowski, "and it was up to him whether be wanteil to run me down or not, and he did, and I was not going to allow myself to be in that same .spot as Regan (Smith) was last year, and I just held my ground. "I was here to win, and I've got no other reason to be here than to win and put these,gilyS in victory lane." Last fall, Smith drove below the yellow line in a last-lap pass of Tony Stewart. NASCAR officials penalized Smith. This time Keselowski stayed above the line- held his line .- and the result was a frightening crash ... but also a miracle victory. Finch, seldom a full-time competitor at the Sprint Cup level, Won for the first time in IOS races as an owner. Keselowski is only scheduled to compete 10 times this year in Finch's No. 09 Chevrolet. Veterans Sterling Mar· lin and Mike Wallace also take turns in the car. ' Cup Series Trivia ! ' . 1. In what year did Bobb)ll.abonte . ,, . .; Win the Cup championship? 2.

Under conditions of the bond, he will be confined to his residence and wear an electronic monitor; Stewart is charged with aggravated murder in the death of Carolyn S. Merry, 54, murder in the death of John Paul Holley, 59, and attempted murder on David B. Merry, 49, Carolyn Merry's brother. The charges arose from an April 28 shooting incident on top · of a hill at a stone yard off Ohio. 588 just wes.t of Rodney. . While details surrounding the incident have not yet been' revealed, Sheriff Joe Browning said a preliminary investigation indicates the shootings stemmed from .a business dispute. Carolyn -Merry was pronounced dead at scene and Holley w~ dead on arrival· at St. MaryJs Medical .Center, Huntington, W.Va., where he was taken by Healti\Net. Stewart was arrested at the scene by deputies .and other officers responding to • a 5:28 p.m. call to Gallill . County 911 reporting the incident. At an April 29 arraign· ment by video link with the jail , Stewart's bond was set by GallipOlis Municipal Judge Margaret Evans , The home confinement portion of his bond, when met, was set in part due . to the suspecfs age. . · . A preliminary hearing to detennine if the case should be submitted to the grand jury is Friday, May 8 at 2:30 p.m. in the Galha County Common Pleas courtroom.

It was . telling that Republicans, when they Were in power; showed no interest in working with the · minority. No ·interest in sharing legislative strategy or the text ofbills until they were ready to be reported out on the floor. But this is no excuse not to work together or to try to find areas of interest.

Mike, who played bass. was in thai band along with Terry Stalnaker, who was the vocalist, John Webster, who played drums, and Bill' "Red" Butcher, who was the lead guitarist. The night of the concert it rained and Mike recalled that there was about an hour's delay before the show could &tart.

Dancing has brought a lifetime of fun for Gig and the celebration was a time for reacquaintance with many who had learned the joy of dancing in one of his classes. For Gig, teaching dancing all started when the family moved to Florida. where he worked in a grocery store Stocking shelves.

Blake and his brother, Don Blake. Stated Harry Hum in the Gallia Times in the 1953 article that told about this new combine: "The Blake farm of 240 acres extending from hill to dver across the . broad, rich bottoms of the Swan Creek area is indeed a · kingly domain. It has been in the · family ownership since 1818 when the first Blake loolred out over the land and found it fair." : The article went on to say that the Blakes had purchased the combine from the White Implement Co. of Gallipolis. then owned by Nolan Carter. Hum said that the combine was 18 feet in length and 8 feet , 9 inches in width as well as 9 feet talL Colonel Blake talked enthusiastically about his new purchase, telling about its many advantages. The first self-propelled combine in the county came out just before World War II. During the war. the U ,S. government went into partnership with MasseyHarris to sell 500 of .the Model 21 combines at $2,500 apiece. The government made each purchaser sign a contract to guarantee that toe owner would harvest at least 2.000 acres with his combine.

Mike, who played bass. was in thai band along with Terry Stalnaker, who was the vocalist, John Webster, who played drums, and Bill' "Red" Butcher, who was the lead guitarist. The night of the concert it rained and Mike recalled that there was about an hour's delay before the show could &tart.

Dancing has brought a lifetime of fun for Gig and the celebration was a time for reacquaintance with many who had learned the joy of dancing in one of his classes. For Gig, teaching dancing all started when the family moved to Florida. where he worked in a grocery store Stocking shelves.

Blake and his brother, Don Blake. Stated Harry Hum in the Gallia Times in the 1953 article that told about this new combine: "The Blake farm of 240 acres extending from hill to dver across the . broad, rich bottoms of the Swan Creek area is indeed a · kingly domain. It has been in the · family ownership since 1818 when the first Blake loolred out over the land and found it fair." : The article went on to say that the Blakes had purchased the combine from the White Implement Co. of Gallipolis. then owned by Nolan Carter. Hum said that the combine was 18 feet in length and 8 feet , 9 inches in width as well as 9 feet talL Colonel Blake talked enthusiastically about his new purchase, telling about its many advantages. The first self-propelled combine in the county came out just before World War II. During the war. the U ,S. government went into partnership with MasseyHarris to sell 500 of .the Model 21 combines at $2,500 apiece. The government made each purchaser sign a contract to guarantee that toe owner would harvest at least 2.000 acres with his combine.

Now, in the wake of herr son winning ei~ht gold medals at the Beijmg Games, and then being photographed inhaling from a marijuana pipe., she's putting out a book to relate her experiences as a single mother dealing with both triumph and hardship. "A Mother For All Seasons" hits the . shelves Tuesday, while Michael Phelps is still dealing with the fallout from that embarrassing photo~~ph. His mother touches bnefly on the episode in her book, which is mainly a memoir of her life. . .

"But things happen for a reason.

It was the second . major faux pas for the swimmer, who pleaded guilty to a drunken driving charge after winning six !'olds . at the Athens Olymp1csin·2004. Debbie Phelps was livid when her · son · called with news of his DUI arrest; and it was another tough blow a when she learned. of his latest troubles. But she made sure to express her love and understanding, especially when he came under intense criticism, lost a major sponsor and received a threemanto suspension from USA Swimming. . "It was difficult, very difficult," she said. "As a parent, you very much want to listen to what your children have to say, and you also hope they listen to what you have to say, too. I told him how much I loved him. He knows he has my support and anything he needs. A mother is always there for her children. Michael knew that, but he needed to hear it." Michael was hesitant to discuss the incident at first, even with his mother.. But Debbie managed to break down that barrier. "There were times when he was like, 'I don't want to talk right .now.' And I would be like, 'I know you don't, but maybe' we need to,'" she related. "In a parents' way, I kind of had to go around the barn to get the conversation going. ,Eventually, we were able to talk about the whole incident and process it and he was.. able to share with me his side."

Now, in the wake of herr son winning ei~ht gold medals at the Beijmg Games, and then being photographed inhaling from a marijuana pipe., she's putting out a book to relate her experiences as a single mother dealing with both triumph and hardship. "A Mother For All Seasons" hits the . shelves Tuesday, while Michael Phelps is still dealing with the fallout from that embarrassing photo~~ph. His mother touches bnefly on the episode in her book, which is mainly a memoir of her life. . . "Yes, it's an obstacle, a . · speed bump," · Debbie Phelps told The Associated Press in recent telephone interview as she worked late at the Baltimore-area middle school where she serves as principal . "But things happen for a reason.

It was the second . major faux pas for the swimmer, who pleaded guilty to a drunken driving charge after winning six !'olds . at the Athens Olymp1csin·2004. Debbie Phelps was livid when her · son · called with news of his DUI arrest; and it was another tough blow a when she learned. of his latest troubles. But she made sure to express her love and understanding, especially when he came under intense criticism, lost a major sponsor and received a threemanto suspension from USA Swimming. . "It was difficult, very difficult," she said. "As a parent, you very much want to listen to what your children have to say, and you also hope they listen to what you have to say, too. I told him how much I loved him. He knows he has my support and anything he needs. A mother is always there for her children. Michael knew that, but he needed to hear it." Michael was hesitant to discuss the incident at first, even with his mother.. But Debbie managed to break down that barrier. "There were times when he was like, 'I don't want to talk right .now.' And I would be like, 'I know you don't, but maybe' we need to,'" she related. "In a parents' way, I kind of had to go around the barn to get the conversation going. ,Eventually, we were able to talk about the whole incident and process it and he was.. able to share with me his side."

Richard Shih and Michael. children and well away from throats and block airways. : "The concept of poison "'nd the concept of medicine are closely aligned," he said. "You re usually talking about dosage." Digitalis is a prominent ' example, said Balick, coauthor of Nile "Handbook of Poisonou~ and Injurious Plants" (The New York Botanical Garden Press and Springer, 2007). "A certain dosage of the digitalis leaf could enable the pumping · of the heart, where a larger dosage could kill a person," he said. There were 60,514 cases of unhealthy plant exposure reported in 2007 to the nation's poison control centers, according to .the federal Health Resources and Services Administration. "This includes all routes of exposure, including swallowing plants, and skin re;lctions from such plants as poison ivy and pois'on oak," · said David Bowman, an agency spokesman. PJants were cited in two fatalities. Toxic plants do not pose as much danger as phlliTilaceuticals, but it pays to be . cautious. "Some plants can cause severe oral irritation if chewed," Bowman said. "Mistaking hemlock for carrots has been responsible for seizures and fatalities." Many houseplants also are toxic. "Chewing dieffenbachia or philodendron could cause oral irritation and swelling," he said. "Some other common indoor plants like African violet,jade plant and sansevieria are not poisonous but could cause stomach upset if swallowed." · If poison ivy or poison oak plants are burned, people inhaling tjie smoke could suffer the same · ill effects in the respiratory tract as contact with the plants causes to the skin. · Reactions to plant toxicity nmge from minor to lethal, and also depend upon a person's health and age. "Some people are more sensitive to things in the environment than others," ·said Rosie Lerner, an extension horticulturist with Purdue University. · Body weight plays a part, she said. Generally, the smaller the body, the less toxin required to make you ill. ''This is one reason whr, children are so vulnerable, ' she said. "An individual's metabolism also may play a role." Proximity to poisonous plants doesri 't mean people should shy away from gar- · dening, Lerner said. "A little common sense should ~revail if you spend much tune outdoors," she said. "Cover up. Wear longsleeved shirts, long pants, closed shoes and socks and gloves. You should be wearing gloves anyway. to protect from cuts and scrapes that could lead to infection." · Choking is another threat, particularly for children . "My daughter; · when small, swallowed a leaf from a jade plant and began to choke. We had to clear her throat. It wasn't a soft leaf and it wasn't a pleasant experience," said Sue Kell , education director for the Blue Ridge Poison Center in Charlottesville , Va. Anyone working near potentially poisonous plants should follow a simple rule , Lerner said: "Don't put anything in your mouth you don't know anything about."
