Ky. Earl Clark pulled up froiJ.I the corner and let the 3pointer fly. Clank. In a flash, the Louisville forward raced to the basket, wiggled his 6-foot-9 frame in 'between two West Virginia defenders and tipped in a miss by center David Padgett. After watch'ing his teammates dominate rival Kentucky while serving a one-game suspension last Saturday, Clark wasn't about to waste any more time in coach Rick Pitino's doghouse. , Clark posted his seventh double-double of the season in Louisville's easy 63-54 win over the Mountaineers on Thu.rsday, scoring 11 points and grabbing 12 rebounds as the Cardinals shut down one of the Big East's most dynamic offenses with a suffocating zone defense.

BY SHAYA TAYEFE MOHAJER ASSOCIATE[) PRESS WRITER CHARLESTON, W.Va . - Millions of dollars are being poured into ecobuild.ing and other environmental projects ·to update West Virginia's higher education facilities, reflecting a national movement to "go green." Among other upgrades at West Virginia University, a $28.8 million facelift at Brooks Hall has given the building a new, environmentally sound "green 'roof." A small plain of greenery tops the roof, growing from layers of soil enclosed in a waterproof · membrane. School officials say the vegelation will extend the life of the roof by 50 percent and provide better insulation to reduce heating and cooling costs. The building also enjoys lots of natural light through energy-efficient windows, and is part of a network of programs at WVU, includ·ing . recycling efforts; light bulb exchanges and construdion upgrades. Officials say -the. reason for implementing these earth"friendly practices is due to an unpre~edented demand from students, faculty and staff. "For the first time in my Meigs career, and I've been here a lot of years, it's the first time I've seen this kind of unified interest and sup. port, across the board and everyone really wants to improve things," said Joe Fisher, WVU's assistant · vice president of facilities and services. Beyond being better for the earth, a financial bonus exists when it comes to many green updates: pay now and save on energy costs later. In that regard, Fisher said . one of WVU's best moves was contracting with Siemens Building Technology. The company's projects reduce campus energ'y use by evaluating and. updating inefficient · equipment, such as HVAC or lighting systems. And, essentially, they do it for free, Fisher said. . The company's deal with WVU guarantees that it will be paid out of university's energy savings over the next IS years. If the school saves more than the company's fee, WVU gets to pocket the difference. The flfSt phase of the project is complete on WVU's Evansdale camJ?US. The entire campus Will be coy- . ered in about five years. Fisher hopes a universal policy will be comple.t ed this spring that addresses Ohioans living in poverty in 2005, from highest to lowest, is as follows: Athens, 31.5 percent; from PageA1 Scioto, 25.3 percent; pointed out proposed Gallia, 22.8 percent; Pike, investments by American . 21.4 percent; Vinton, 20.6 · Power-Ohio, Municipal American Electric Power, Galling-Ohio and Rentech may translate into "well over $7 billion of capital spending ovyr the next several years."

Commission meetings include a portion known as . privilege of the floor allowing citizens and other officials to discuss issues and concerns with commissioners. Commissioners said inter, ested individuals do not have to schedule time prior to the meeting to talk to them. They can just come to the meeting and when privilege of the floor is alVIounced, usually shortly after the meeting has opened, they can ask to be recognized and heard. The commission's regular monthly meeting is the flfSt Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. in the City Building. Unless otherwise announced, special meetings during the month are held on the third Tuesday itt the same time. The commission meeting room occupies a part of what was the Gallipolis Volunteer Fire Department truck bay.

BY SHAYA TAYEFE MOHAJER ASSOCIATE[) PRESS WRITER CHARLESTON, W.Va . - Millions of dollars are being poured into ecobuild.ing and other environmental projects ·to update West Virginia's higher education facilities, reflecting a national movement to "go green." Among other upgrades at West Virginia University, a $28.8 million facelift at Brooks Hall has given the building a new, environmentally sound "green 'roof." A small plain of greenery tops the roof, growing from layers of soil enclosed in a waterproof · membrane. School officials say the vegelation will extend the life of the roof by 50 percent and provide better insulation to reduce heating and cooling costs. The building also enjoys lots of natural light through energy-efficient windows, and is part of a network of programs at WVU, includ·ing . recycling efforts; light bulb exchanges and construdion upgrades. Officials say -the. reason for implementing these earth"friendly practices is due to an unpre~edented demand from students, faculty and staff. "For the first time in my Meigs career, and I've been here a lot of years, it's the first time I've seen this kind of unified interest and sup. port, across the board and everyone really wants to improve things," said Joe Fisher, WVU's assistant · vice president of facilities and services. Beyond being better for the earth, a financial bonus exists when it comes to many green updates: pay now and save on energy costs later. In that regard, Fisher said . one of WVU's best moves was contracting with Siemens Building Technology. The company's projects reduce campus energ'y use by evaluating and. updating inefficient · equipment, such as HVAC or lighting systems. And, essentially, they do it for free, Fisher said. . The company's deal with WVU guarantees that it will be paid out of university's energy savings over the next IS years. If the school saves more than the company's fee, WVU gets to pocket the difference. The flfSt phase of the project is complete on WVU's Evansdale camJ?US. The entire campus Will be coy- . ered in about five years. Fisher hopes a universal policy will be comple.t ed this spring that addresses Ohioans living in poverty in 2005, from highest to lowest, is as follows: Athens, 31.5 percent; from PageA1 Scioto, 25.3 percent; pointed out proposed Gallia, 22.8 percent; Pike, investments by American . 21.4 percent; Vinton, 20.6 · Power-Ohio, Municipal American Electric Power, Galling-Ohio and Rentech may translate into "well over $7 billion of capital spending ovyr the next several years."

Space is best stress reliever in this situation By KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: Last year, we bought a home with my parents. At the time, they were living in a shack, raising my sister's three children. They couldn't get financed on their own, but together we could afford a nice place. Six months ago, my grandmother came for a visit. She was supposed to stay four weeks, but while ·· here, she fell and broke her hip. Grandma was living wah my aunt in another state, and now my aunt has decided Grandma doesn't · > need to return. Ten of us now live in a four-bedroom home. ,(1 have two children.) We are redo: ing the garage for Grandma and she is paying for most of the improvements. But my husband and Grandma don't exactly get along. He says my aunt and mother should not be the ones making the decision and he wants her gone. My mother says he is · being unreasonable, that it's · ·· her mother and she can stay · .. if she wants. She is furious .. with my husband. I am stuck ·in the middle. None of us can afford the tiome on our own. With the housing market right now, I ·:don't even think ,we could c • sell it and get back what we · · owe. What can we do? Stuck Between a Rock and il Very Hard Place Dear Stuck: You and your parents own this home jointly, which means your mother should not have invited Grandma to move in without making sure il was OK with you and your husband. However, you can't very well throw her mit in the street, so your husband is ·. going to have to deal with it for the time being. Minimize the stress and resentment by having a s!Jace for your husband where no one can intrude, and limit his contact with Grandma, even if that · means your immediate fami. ly has separate meals. Be sure to have Grandma visit your aunt when she is able, and under no circumstances should your husband be forced to take care of her. Dear Annie: 1 was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

So it comes as no surprise . that fv .. News, which gives equal time to conservative thought, is despised by many in the liberal press. Not surpri singly, that ho sti lity has now carried over into the political arena. Last spring, the Democratic presidential candidates informed the public they would not participate in a debate spansored by the Congressional Black Caucus and Fox News. People like John Edwards and Gov. Bill Richardson, who had fre quently appeared o'n FNC and were treated well, suddenly informed the nation that the network was unfair and unbalanced. This blatam falsehood was stunning . The reason the Democratic candidates boycotted Fox News was that the far-left Internet crazies told them to do it. Poineroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday,January131 2008 Obituaries · Journalism as a contact sport There is a chance that before this presidential . election year is over somebody is going to get hurt. Knowing that partisan hostility is boiling over in America, the Secret Service is tense because the candidates are exposed when ·. they campaign in public. Hatred is definitely in the air and the m.:dia is partially to blame. The enormous success of the Fox News Channel has created a ·bitterness unprecedented in the American press. CNN has been dethroned as .the cable news leader, and NBC News, which runs two cable outlets, is far behind both Fox News and CNN in the ratings. Some estimates have Fox News making six times as much money . as MSNBC. General . Elc;ctric, which owns NBC, has seen its stock price remain stagnant for the past six years. a humbling fact for the cor. porate giant. And then there is ideolo- · gy. Tniditionally, the socalled mainstream media · has le;,med left. Retired anchormen like Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw now openly discuss their liberal belie'fs, and former CBS commentator Bill Moyers is a flat-out far- Sunday,January13,20o8 Websites like the Daily Kos and Media Matters, which spit out anti-censervati ve hatred every day, made it clear to the Democrats that anyone de11ling with Fox would be punished. The creepy radical-left orgimization MoveOn, which raises seriCJus money for liberal candidates, seconded the motion. It is worth noting that the Republican presidential candidates have not played that game, appearing on ultra-liberal MSNBC and every other news network. I saw the anti-Fox hatred firsthand when I traveled to New Hampshire last week. Fox News vehicles have been vandalfzed, FNC correspondents cursed, and all' Fox News personnel are cautious. Although the far-left nuts are generally the problem, some supporters of Congressman Ron Paul are also out of control. At a campaign rally for Barack 'Obama, one of his staffers attempted to block a Fox News camera from · photographing the senator. This was a blatant assault · on press freedom, and I had to remove. the man from in front of the camera. You may have seen the pictures on TV. ' In the subsequent coverage of the story, not one media outlet criticized the Obama staffer, not one. Had he interfered with a CBS News crew, I believe' the story would have been reported quite differently. Sen. Obama has been respectful to Fox News and the incident was not his fault. But the senator and all the Democratic candidates should understand the unhealthy climate some of their supporters have created, and they , should do everything they can to discourage this kind of garbage. And here's the kicker: A recent study by George Mason University about the · campaign thus fijr named one network as having been the fairest to all the candidates: Fox News.

MANAMA, Bahrain President Bush said Saturday he is open to the possibility of slowing or · stopping plans to bring home more U.S . troops from Iraq, defying domestic demands to speed the withdrawals. Updated on war developments, Bush said the U.S. presence in Iraq will outlast his presidency. Bush said any decision about troop levels "needs to be based upon success," but that there was no discussion · about specific numbers when he was briefed by Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq , , and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. . ambassador to Baghdad. The president was cheered by news that Iraq's parliament ·had approved legislation reinstaung thousands of former supporters of Saddam Hussein's dissolved Baath party ~ government jobs. Bush had prodded Iraqi leaders for more than a· year to enact the Jaw. "It's an important ster, toward reconciliation,' Bush said as he opened talks with Bahrain's King Hamad bin Jsa al-Khalifa. "It's an important sign that the ·leaders of that country un~er­ stand that they must work together to meet the aspirations of the Iraqi people." · The first U.S. president to · visit Bahrain received a • AP photo US President George W.

Swordwaving men in flowing robes · and headdresses swayed and danced to rhythmic music in a palace · courtyard. The president and the king were presented with swords and flashed them skyward. The war, no,w in its fifth year, was a dominant theme during Bush's stops in Kuwait and Bahrain, two Persian Gulf nations crucial to U.S. military efforts in the region. Kuwait, invaded by Saddam and liberated by a U.S.-led war in 1991 , is a major military staging area for the deployment of U.S. troops and equipment. Bahrain is headquarters of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet. TANLEY UNDERS MONUMEN·TS Custom designed & lettered for your Houn: Mon·Fri. 9:00am to 5:00pm loved ones.

" Bush, speaking -to U.S. forces in Kuwait, gave one of his most optimistic assessments of the war. "There is no doubt in my mind when history was written, the fmal page will say: Victory was achieved by the United States of America for the good of the world," lle said. . , Bush began the day receiving an hourlong briefing from Petraeus and Crocker at Camp Arifjan, the largest U.S: base in Kuwait and home to . about 9,000 American troops. Acting on the two men's recommendation a year ago, Bush ordered a buildup of 30,000 U.S . forces in lmq. In September, again on their advice, Bush announced he would with- draw some troops from by July essentially the 30,000 in the buildup - but still keep the U.S. level there at about 130,000. With Petraeus at his side, Bush said, "My attitude is, if he didn't want to continue the . drawdown, that's fine with me, in order to make sure we succeed, see. I said to the general, 'If you want to slow her down, fine. It's up to you."' Petraeus and Crocker are to give Congress an updat~ on Iraq in March and make a recommendation about troop levels. "Iraq is now a different place from one year ago," the president said. "Much hard work remains, but levels of violence are Significantly reduced. Hope is returning to Baghdad and hope is returning to towns and villages . throughout the country." Polls show people in the U.S. overwhelmingly oppose the war. The Democratic-led Congress has tried for a year to force Bush to order withdrawals or set deadlines for pullbacks. But·.Sush, supported by most GOP lawmakers, has prevailed in every showdown. Iran also is a main issue of Bush 's trip, particularly in the live Gulf nations he is visiting. Nervous about Iran's military might and rising influence, Gulf Jead· ers also are anxiou~ about last week's confrontation between U.S. and Iranian naval vessels off their shore. 4 Shouldn'c Your Number # 1 ........

But they also want security commitments from the ·president. Bush said Iran "has supported extremist groups with training and lethal aid." Petraeus told reporters that the overall flow of weaponry from Iran into Iraq appears to be down, but attacks with "explosively formed projectiles': tied to Tehran are up by a factor of two or three in recent days . "Frankly, we are trying to determine why that might lx;," he said. The roadside bombs, known as EFPs, are armorpiercing explosives that have killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. U.S. military officials have said for months that mainly Shiite Iran has been supplying the devices to Shiite militias in Iraq. Tehran denies it. In Bahrain, Bush congrntulated the king for holding free elections and noted the election two years ago of a female member of parliament. "Our two nations share a common vision for the future of the Mi~le East," Bush said at the welcome ceremony. Bush's comments echoed his ~raise for similar democratlc gains in Kuwait, where women were given the vote in 2005. . Posing for pictures in Bahrain with the king, Bush said, "I know you've been concerned about Iraq and the politics of Iraq." Bush went on to talk about the action in Iraq's parliament. "I come with an upbeat message, a hopeful message - a messa~e that will prevail here m the Middle East," Bush said. Earlier, in Kuwait, Bush spoke optimistically about . -Iraq despite his oft-stated frustrations about the slow pace of progress. ''I'm not making excuses for a government, but to go from a tyranny to a democracy overnight is virtually impossible," Bush said. "And so when you say, 'Am I pleased with the progress?'what they have gone through and where they are today I think is good progress. Have they done enough? No. Are we going to continue to work with them to do more? Absolutely. Absolute_ly." Our message IS very . clear: It's in your interest that you pass good law.

So it comes as no surprise . that fv .. News, which gives equal time to conservative thought, is despised by many in the liberal press. Not surpri singly, that ho sti lity has now carried over into the political arena. Last spring, the Democratic presidential candidates informed the public they would not participate in a debate spansored by the Congressional Black Caucus and Fox News. People like John Edwards and Gov. Bill Richardson, who had fre quently appeared o'n FNC and were treated well, suddenly informed the nation that the network was unfair and unbalanced. This blatam falsehood was stunning . The reason the Democratic candidates boycotted Fox News was that the far-left Internet crazies told them to do it. Poineroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday,January131 2008 Obituaries · Journalism as a contact sport There is a chance that before this presidential . election year is over somebody is going to get hurt. Knowing that partisan hostility is boiling over in America, the Secret Service is tense because the candidates are exposed when ·. they campaign in public. Hatred is definitely in the air and the m.:dia is partially to blame. The enormous success of the Fox News Channel has created a ·bitterness unprecedented in the American press. CNN has been dethroned as .the cable news leader, and NBC News, which runs two cable outlets, is far behind both Fox News and CNN in the ratings. Some estimates have Fox News making six times as much money . as MSNBC. General . Elc;ctric, which owns NBC, has seen its stock price remain stagnant for the past six years. a humbling fact for the cor. porate giant. And then there is ideolo- · gy. Tniditionally, the socalled mainstream media · has le;,med left. Retired anchormen like Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw now openly discuss their liberal belie'fs, and former CBS commentator Bill Moyers is a flat-out far- Sunday,January13,20o8 Websites like the Daily Kos and Media Matters, which spit out anti-censervati ve hatred every day, made it clear to the Democrats that anyone de11ling with Fox would be punished. The creepy radical-left orgimization MoveOn, which raises seriCJus money for liberal candidates, seconded the motion. It is worth noting that the Republican presidential candidates have not played that game, appearing on ultra-liberal MSNBC and every other news network. I saw the anti-Fox hatred firsthand when I traveled to New Hampshire last week. Fox News vehicles have been vandalfzed, FNC correspondents cursed, and all' Fox News personnel are cautious. Although the far-left nuts are generally the problem, some supporters of Congressman Ron Paul are also out of control. At a campaign rally for Barack 'Obama, one of his staffers attempted to block a Fox News camera from · photographing the senator. This was a blatant assault · on press freedom, and I had to remove. the man from in front of the camera. You may have seen the pictures on TV. ' In the subsequent coverage of the story, not one media outlet criticized the Obama staffer, not one. Had he interfered with a CBS News crew, I believe' the story would have been reported quite differently. Sen. Obama has been respectful to Fox News and the incident was not his fault. But the senator and all the Democratic candidates should understand the unhealthy climate some of their supporters have created, and they , should do everything they can to discourage this kind of garbage. And here's the kicker: A recent study by George Mason University about the · campaign thus fijr named one network as having been the fairest to all the candidates: Fox News.

MANAMA, Bahrain President Bush said Saturday he is open to the possibility of slowing or · stopping plans to bring home more U.S . troops from Iraq, defying domestic demands to speed the withdrawals. Updated on war developments, Bush said the U.S. presence in Iraq will outlast his presidency. Bush said any decision about troop levels "needs to be based upon success," but that there was no discussion · about specific numbers when he was briefed by Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq , , and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. . ambassador to Baghdad. The president was cheered by news that Iraq's parliament ·had approved legislation reinstaung thousands of former supporters of Saddam Hussein's dissolved Baath party ~ government jobs. Bush had prodded Iraqi leaders for more than a· year to enact the Jaw. "It's an important ster, toward reconciliation,' Bush said as he opened talks with Bahrain's King Hamad bin Jsa al-Khalifa. "It's an important sign that the ·leaders of that country un~er­ stand that they must work together to meet the aspirations of the Iraqi people." · The first U.S. president to · visit Bahrain received a • AP photo US President George W.

Swordwaving men in flowing robes · and headdresses swayed and danced to rhythmic music in a palace · courtyard. The president and the king were presented with swords and flashed them skyward. The war, no,w in its fifth year, was a dominant theme during Bush's stops in Kuwait and Bahrain, two Persian Gulf nations crucial to U.S. military efforts in the region. Kuwait, invaded by Saddam and liberated by a U.S.-led war in 1991 , is a major military staging area for the deployment of U.S. troops and equipment. Bahrain is headquarters of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet. TANLEY UNDERS MONUMEN·TS Custom designed & lettered for your Houn: Mon·Fri. 9:00am to 5:00pm loved ones.

" Bush, speaking -to U.S. forces in Kuwait, gave one of his most optimistic assessments of the war. "There is no doubt in my mind when history was written, the fmal page will say: Victory was achieved by the United States of America for the good of the world," lle said. . , Bush began the day receiving an hourlong briefing from Petraeus and Crocker at Camp Arifjan, the largest U.S: base in Kuwait and home to . about 9,000 American troops. Acting on the two men's recommendation a year ago, Bush ordered a buildup of 30,000 U.S . forces in lmq. In September, again on their advice, Bush announced he would with- draw some troops from by July essentially the 30,000 in the buildup - but still keep the U.S. level there at about 130,000. With Petraeus at his side, Bush said, "My attitude is, if he didn't want to continue the . drawdown, that's fine with me, in order to make sure we succeed, see. I said to the general, 'If you want to slow her down, fine. It's up to you."' Petraeus and Crocker are to give Congress an updat~ on Iraq in March and make a recommendation about troop levels. "Iraq is now a different place from one year ago," the president said. "Much hard work remains, but levels of violence are Significantly reduced. Hope is returning to Baghdad and hope is returning to towns and villages . throughout the country." Polls show people in the U.S. overwhelmingly oppose the war. The Democratic-led Congress has tried for a year to force Bush to order withdrawals or set deadlines for pullbacks. But·.Sush, supported by most GOP lawmakers, has prevailed in every showdown. Iran also is a main issue of Bush 's trip, particularly in the live Gulf nations he is visiting. Nervous about Iran's military might and rising influence, Gulf Jead· ers also are anxiou~ about last week's confrontation between U.S. and Iranian naval vessels off their shore. 4 Shouldn'c Your Number # 1 ........

But they also want security commitments from the ·president. Bush said Iran "has supported extremist groups with training and lethal aid." Petraeus told reporters that the overall flow of weaponry from Iran into Iraq appears to be down, but attacks with "explosively formed projectiles': tied to Tehran are up by a factor of two or three in recent days . "Frankly, we are trying to determine why that might lx;," he said. The roadside bombs, known as EFPs, are armorpiercing explosives that have killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. U.S. military officials have said for months that mainly Shiite Iran has been supplying the devices to Shiite militias in Iraq. Tehran denies it. In Bahrain, Bush congrntulated the king for holding free elections and noted the election two years ago of a female member of parliament. "Our two nations share a common vision for the future of the Mi~le East," Bush said at the welcome ceremony. Bush's comments echoed his ~raise for similar democratlc gains in Kuwait, where women were given the vote in 2005. . Posing for pictures in Bahrain with the king, Bush said, "I know you've been concerned about Iraq and the politics of Iraq." Bush went on to talk about the action in Iraq's parliament. "I come with an upbeat message, a hopeful message - a messa~e that will prevail here m the Middle East," Bush said. Earlier, in Kuwait, Bush spoke optimistically about . -Iraq despite his oft-stated frustrations about the slow pace of progress. ''I'm not making excuses for a government, but to go from a tyranny to a democracy overnight is virtually impossible," Bush said. "And so when you say, 'Am I pleased with the progress?'what they have gone through and where they are today I think is good progress. Have they done enough? No. Are we going to continue to work with them to do more? Absolutely. Absolute_ly." Our message IS very . clear: It's in your interest that you pass good law.

Cyrus a 5-9, 190 pound midfielder is a versatile player with a ton of speed and scoring ability.

Cyrus . felt that signing with Rio Grande is a great accomplishment for him personally. "It's a great feeling and a great accomplishment. It has also been a very special day,'' he said.

"The only time that I worry about points is at the conference (meet)," he added. "Not having an indoor conference (meet) we concentrate more toward the (NAJA) Indoor National Championships and getting ready for the outdoor meets, particularly the (AMC) conference meet:" Willey will once agairi test his troops with a very co.mpetitive schedule of meets. · In a?dition to .the opener at Cap,llal!

Other meets in February have Rio Grande traveling to Kenyon College (Feb. 15), Marietta College (Feb. 23) and Otterbein (Feb. 29). · "One of the things that we tell people when we · are recruiting them is that you have the best of both worlds. You're going to get the individual attention in the classroom setting, small numbers in the classroom, same thin~ with the track situation,.' Willey said. - "But we've always said. that it you're good enough we're goin§ to get you the competition.' "That:s what we try to do," he added. "We run big meets with large universities and we run small meets, it mixes and matches, maybe . some days you can't win an event or maybe another day you can. You get the best of both worlds." The NAJA Indoor National Championships will be held in Johnson City, TN, March 6-8 and Rio Grande is hoping to have at least individual representation there. "We've already handed out to them the stan· dards, what they have to do to compete in each one of their events to try to qualify for nationals and some of them feel very confident that they can do this early," Willey said. "I feel confident that they'can too." · Submilted photo Rio soccer.signs Cyrus as first recrilit for 2008 LMYL h~ps champions would be my best asset and I need improvement in shooting and strength," Cyrus said.

Rio Grande head coach Scott Morrissey is pleased to bring Cyrus into the fold and believes thai he be a factor for the Redmen before his playing career is finished. ·~we're really excited to have Josh. Josh was a young man that we have been involved with youth camps from the time he was 8, 9, 10 years .old,'' Morrissey· said: "He's come up through the ranks in a good club system. He is a young man who has a _great deal of potential, has had an outstanding high school career." : "He's really versatile, very athletic and someone that we think has a' great upside, he's great academically, he's just an all-around package, a great studentathlete," Morrissey added'. "Right now, we see him playing a wide mid-field spot, but down the road, depending on how he develops he could perhaps get into a central nud-field role, I think he's also versatile thill he could play up front for us because he does bring to the table a lot of speed, a good change of direction and technically he is a very good player."

Cyrus a 5-9, 190 pound midfielder is a versatile player with a ton of speed and scoring ability.

"The only time that I worry about points is at the conference (meet)," he added. "Not having an indoor conference (meet) we concentrate more toward the (NAJA) Indoor National Championships and getting ready for the outdoor meets, particularly the (AMC) conference meet:" Willey will once agairi test his troops with a very co.mpetitive schedule of meets. · In a?dition to .the opener at Cap,llal!

Other meets in February have Rio Grande traveling to Kenyon College (Feb. 15), Marietta College (Feb. 23) and Otterbein (Feb. 29). · "One of the things that we tell people when we · are recruiting them is that you have the best of both worlds. You're going to get the individual attention in the classroom setting, small numbers in the classroom, same thin~ with the track situation,.' Willey said. - "But we've always said. that it you're good enough we're goin§ to get you the competition.' "That:s what we try to do," he added. "We run big meets with large universities and we run small meets, it mixes and matches, maybe . some days you can't win an event or maybe another day you can. You get the best of both worlds." The NAJA Indoor National Championships will be held in Johnson City, TN, March 6-8 and Rio Grande is hoping to have at least individual representation there. "We've already handed out to them the stan· dards, what they have to do to compete in each one of their events to try to qualify for nationals and some of them feel very confident that they can do this early," Willey said. "I feel confident that they'can too." · Submilted photo Rio soccer.signs Cyrus as first recrilit for 2008 LMYL h~ps champions would be my best asset and I need improvement in shooting and strength," Cyrus said.

Rio Grande head coach Scott Morrissey is pleased to bring Cyrus into the fold and believes thai he be a factor for the Redmen before his playing career is finished. ·~we're really excited to have Josh. Josh was a young man that we have been involved with youth camps from the time he was 8, 9, 10 years .old,'' Morrissey· said: "He's come up through the ranks in a good club system. He is a young man who has a _great deal of potential, has had an outstanding high school career." : "He's really versatile, very athletic and someone that we think has a' great upside, he's great academically, he's just an all-around package, a great studentathlete," Morrissey added'. "Right now, we see him playing a wide mid-field spot, but down the road, depending on how he develops he could perhaps get into a central nud-field role, I think he's also versatile thill he could play up front for us because he does bring to the table a lot of speed, a good change of direction and technically he is a very good player."

In Jonathan Waxman's recent cookbook, "A Great American Cook," Waxman sautes shrimp in the rendered fat of the cooked bacon, then slaps them on the sandwich. Pure heaven. Some other tweaks to try: · • Thick slices of avocado. Sure, you've already got a healthy dose of fat from the bacon and the mayonnaise, but avocados contain healthy fats. And the creamy, rich texture is the perfect foil for the bacon. • Cheese. Why isn't this standar1j? This one doesn't get the "healthy fat" pass, but cheese just goes so well with bacon, it should be mandatory. Muenster, cheddar and provolone are the obvious choices . • Thinly sliced apple.

USDA is currently processing about $1 billion in payments under the Crop Disaster Program, Livestock Compensation Program and Livestock Indemnity Program. Signup for these programs is ongoing. The programs provide payments to agricultural producers who suffered crop, Ji vestock and feed losses in 2005, 2006 and before Feb. 28, 2007. But, producers must choose one year for which to receive payments. Crop Disaster The Program (COP) provides benefits to farmers who· suffered quantity and quality losses from natural disasters and related conditions that happened in 2005, 2006 and for 2007 crops if the crop was planted or prevented from being planted before Feb. 28, 2007. At this time, USDA is only compensat- · ing producers for quantity losses under this program. Payments for the quality . losses will not be distributed until early 2008, after sign-up for quality loss. At this time, the Livestock Compensation Program (LCP) compensates livestock producers for feed losses resulting from natural dis11sters that occurred between Jan: I, 2005, and Feb. 28, 2007. Producers who suffered losses caused by blizzards that started in 2006 and continued into 2007 are eligible. Producers in primary or contiguous counties that were dec Iar.ed secretarial disaster areas or counties declared presidential disaster areas between Jan.

Mechanized chili harvesting could ensure· .future of New Mexico's .signature crop BY MELANIE DABOVICH · ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER • LAKE ARTHUR, N.M. - Workers no longer stoop over to hand-pick the red chili crop on Cecil Conklin's farm. They drive a mechanical harvester . t,hat plows through row after row of chit! plants, methodically pulhng off the peppers. "The machine harvests about seven acres a day," said Conklin, one of the first farmers in New Mexico to make ilie switch to mechanical harvesting more than a decade ago. ''That's about the same acreage that it took 40-50 workers to pick each day before we had the machine. Mechanization "was forced .on us- we couldn't find the labor. Now, chili definitely has to be mechanically harvested in order for farmers to make money," he said. Increased market pressure from foreign chili Imports, declining prices and lack of labOr have made it tough for chili farmers to thrive. Using machines to harvest th~ state's signature crop is the only way the $400 million chili industry can stay competitive, said Terry Crawford, professor of agriculture business and ' economics at New Mexico State University. · "Time is critical. New Mexico has no more than five years to get competitive," Crawford said .. "We have to bec.ome more efficient and cut labor costs significantl y." In New Mexico. more than 80 percent of the red chili . 'I AP photo Farmer Cecil Conklin stands beside his mechanical chili harvester at his chili fields in Lake Arthur, N.M. on Nov. 13, 2007. Conklin said he· has used mechanical harvesting for his red chili crop for more than a decade due to lack of farm laborers. crop is mechanically harvested, mainly in the southeastt;rn part of the stat~. The harvest method also is being used increasingly by red chili growers in west Texas and southeast Arizona. Stephanie Walker, vegetable specialist with NMSU's Cooperative Extension Service, said many chili farmers in eastern New Mexico found the transition to mechanical .harvesting a little easier than those in the Rio Grande Valley corridor because they could rely on their knowledge from growing other mechanically harvested crops. "Many of those farmers previously grew cotton and they knew how to machine harvest a crop. They used that expertise to make the chili harvest work, and they already knew how to har• vest without large pools of labor," Walker said. .. Forei~n competition also is drivmg the change to mechanical harvesting, as farmers try desperately to compete . with chili importers - such as China, India and Peru - that pay si~nificantly lower wages. 'Here in the U.S., we pay an estimated $50 to $60 a day or better. Compare that to China, where workers are paid around $2 to $3 a day," Crawtord said. "We're still in the early stages, but our hope is that mechanical harvesting can cut labor costs in half." One downside of mechanical harvesting is a reduced cr.op yield. Hand pickers can grab ch ili not only on the actual plants, but also the peppers that have fallen to the ground. Also, farms using mechanical harvesting only get one harvest a season, whereas hand-picked crops can have 2 or 3 picks because the ·plants aren't stripped· of leaves and can produce more · peppers, Crawford said. Switching to mechanical harvesting is not cheap. Conklin said he paid . $100,000 for his machine, but it now costs twice that amount. The most common types of mechanical chili har~ vesters strip peppers from the plants and drop them onto a conveyor belt, which then transports the peppers to a holding container. Unwanted parts of the plant, such as leaves and branches, are gathered with the chili peppers. The pods must be separated from the unwanted parts either at the farm or at a processing plant. Just as farmers· are mak- . ing investments to begin mechanical harvesting, processors have had to make similar expenditures to keep up with the changes in harvesting methods . About 75 to 80 percent of chili that arrives at Rezolex, Ltd. Co. processing plant is machine harvested, said Lou Biad, who operates the family owned business. Biad said the 50-year-old company has gradually invested tens of thousands of dollars to accommodate mechanically harvested crops. Without the harvest method, the company wou ld have a hard time meeting its supply needs.

USDA is currently processing about $1 billion in payments under the Crop Disaster Program, Livestock Compensation Program and Livestock Indemnity Program. Signup for these programs is ongoing. The programs provide payments to agricultural producers who suffered crop, Ji vestock and feed losses in 2005, 2006 and before Feb. 28, 2007. But, producers must choose one year for which to receive payments. Crop Disaster The Program (COP) provides benefits to farmers who· suffered quantity and quality losses from natural disasters and related conditions that happened in 2005, 2006 and for 2007 crops if the crop was planted or prevented from being planted before Feb. 28, 2007. At this time, USDA is only compensat- · ing producers for quantity losses under this program. Payments for the quality . losses will not be distributed until early 2008, after sign-up for quality loss. At this time, the Livestock Compensation Program (LCP) compensates livestock producers for feed losses resulting from natural dis11sters that occurred between Jan: I, 2005, and Feb. 28, 2007. Producers who suffered losses caused by blizzards that started in 2006 and continued into 2007 are eligible. Producers in primary or contiguous counties that were dec Iar.ed secretarial disaster areas or counties declared presidential disaster areas between Jan. I, 2005, and Feb. 28, 2007, are also eligible. At this time, the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) compensates livestock producers fur live- stock losses between Jan. I, 2005, and .

Mechanized chili harvesting could ensure· .future of New Mexico's .signature crop BY MELANIE DABOVICH · ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER • LAKE ARTHUR, N.M. - Workers no longer stoop over to hand-pick the red chili crop on Cecil Conklin's farm. They drive a mechanical harvester . t,hat plows through row after row of chit! plants, methodically pulhng off the peppers. "The machine harvests about seven acres a day," said Conklin, one of the first farmers in New Mexico to make ilie switch to mechanical harvesting more than a decade ago. ''That's about the same acreage that it took 40-50 workers to pick each day before we had the machine. Mechanization "was forced .on us- we couldn't find the labor. Now, chili definitely has to be mechanically harvested in order for farmers to make money," he said. Increased market pressure from foreign chili Imports, declining prices and lack of labOr have made it tough for chili farmers to thrive. Using machines to harvest th~ state's signature crop is the only way the $400 million chili industry can stay competitive, said Terry Crawford, professor of agriculture business and ' economics at New Mexico State University. · "Time is critical. New Mexico has no more than five years to get competitive," Crawford said .. "We have to bec.ome more efficient and cut labor costs significantl y." In New Mexico. more than 80 percent of the red chili . 'I AP photo Farmer Cecil Conklin stands beside his mechanical chili harvester at his chili fields in Lake Arthur, N.M. on Nov. 13, 2007. Conklin said he· has used mechanical harvesting for his red chili crop for more than a decade due to lack of farm laborers. crop is mechanically harvested, mainly in the southeastt;rn part of the stat~. The harvest method also is being used increasingly by red chili growers in west Texas and southeast Arizona. Stephanie Walker, vegetable specialist with NMSU's Cooperative Extension Service, said many chili farmers in eastern New Mexico found the transition to mechanical .harvesting a little easier than those in the Rio Grande Valley corridor because they could rely on their knowledge from growing other mechanically harvested crops. "Many of those farmers previously grew cotton and they knew how to machine harvest a crop. They used that expertise to make the chili harvest work, and they already knew how to har• vest without large pools of labor," Walker said. .. Forei~n competition also is drivmg the change to mechanical harvesting, as farmers try desperately to compete . with chili importers - such as China, India and Peru - that pay si~nificantly lower wages. 'Here in the U.S., we pay an estimated $50 to $60 a day or better. Compare that to China, where workers are paid around $2 to $3 a day," Crawtord said. "We're still in the early stages, but our hope is that mechanical harvesting can cut labor costs in half." One downside of mechanical harvesting is a reduced cr.op yield. Hand pickers can grab ch ili not only on the actual plants, but also the peppers that have fallen to the ground. Also, farms using mechanical harvesting only get one harvest a season, whereas hand-picked crops can have 2 or 3 picks because the ·plants aren't stripped· of leaves and can produce more · peppers, Crawford said. Switching to mechanical harvesting is not cheap. Conklin said he paid . $100,000 for his machine, but it now costs twice that amount. The most common types of mechanical chili har~ vesters strip peppers from the plants and drop them onto a conveyor belt, which then transports the peppers to a holding container. Unwanted parts of the plant, such as leaves and branches, are gathered with the chili peppers. The pods must be separated from the unwanted parts either at the farm or at a processing plant. Just as farmers· are mak- . ing investments to begin mechanical harvesting, processors have had to make similar expenditures to keep up with the changes in harvesting methods . About 75 to 80 percent of chili that arrives at Rezolex, Ltd. Co. processing plant is machine harvested, said Lou Biad, who operates the family owned business. Biad said the 50-year-old company has gradually invested tens of thousands of dollars to accommodate mechanically harvested crops. Without the harvest method, the company wou ld have a hard time meeting its supply needs.

' Gardening coaches: 'We grow gardeners rather than gardens' BY DEAN FOSDICK FOR THE ASSOCIAl"ED PRESS An innovative cottage industry is sprouting up for peo~le new to gardening or hopmg to enrich their cropor nower-growing skills. It's called garden mentoring, garden coaching or garden tutoring amj' it's a customized kind of training people, can apply immediately to their yards. the·ir lifestyles or the family diet. . Practitioners vary from · people with vast . academic training .to veteran gardeners whose skills are on display from the sidewalk. "It's often hard for people to get into gardening," said Susan Harris, a garden writer and mentor from Takoma Park, Md. "Most people new to gardening start by doing everything wrong. What that does to their confidence level can set them back a decade." Garden coaches are ·there to guide .the beginner essentially, it's a formalized way of getting a helping hand from your more knowledgeable neighboL Or they can take skilled gardeners into wow-territory. Rates .vary from $35 to more than $125 an hour. "! work with clients whose skills range from novice to master gardener," said Jack McKinnon, who runs a business called The Garden Coach in the San Francisco Bay area. "Coaches are an option for people who are just starting, bought a new property or retired and joined the garden club and want to impress their fellow gardeners." McKinnon charges $125 an hour, and he says about a quarter of his. clients are men. Most aren't quite beginners, but aren't masters yet, either. . "Most want help in going to the next level. It's our job to help them achieve that," he said. "We grow gardeners rather than gardens." Coaches are filling an · apparent void. That familiar trickle-down method of learning about gardening from plant-savvy relatives or. friends appears to be a fast-fading tradition for a . Select From These new generation of urban dwellers or mobile, careerminded couples. "I think there is a lapse between the opportunities to learn from a person's parents or grandparents as a child and the genuine interest (in gardening) that develops in one's 30s, 40s or 50s,' said Tracey Crehan Gerlach, who lives, gardens, tutors and blogs near Charlottesville, Va. ':For many, their 20s are a time to live in a more urban setting or focus on their career and when they make the conscious decision to relocate to the country or t~e suburbs, they seek out learning opportunities to sustain that new lifestyle." . Young women and moms tending to a ftrst yard are often those who approach Crehan Gerlach, who also hears from families who want to grow their own food and novice gardeners looking for an easy-to-tend landscape. "I'll also get bursts of interest after, let's say, a long drought. Usually (from) people hoping to plan better for next year's dry summer with the correct plants and water . conservation options." Garden mentoring can be a year-round job. Many coaches take their cues from the seasons, teaching the proper pruning techniques 111 autumn, garden design in winter and seed growing and plar.Ling in early spring. · Composting, fertilizing and effictent watering usually are part of .the training plan.

"! have a young mother wh9se parents bought her quite a lot of garden stuff for Christmas," Haglund said. "I'll be working with her and her kids this spring to help put their garden together." Haglund also finds herself serving frequently in the role of a working ·gift card. "I've been given as a wed· ding gift, a new home gift and a birthday gift," she said. "I'm a huge fan of gifts you can use - gifts of knowledge. I love the sparkle that comes with learning." -,,.

The mid-winter survey is conducted each· January · as part of a nationwide tally to determine the wintering eagle populations in North America. Last "year, 480 bald eagles were reported across Ohio. including 359 adults and 121 immature birds. The survey includes aerial observations, as well · · as monitoring from· the ground by biologists. "Today, there are more opportunities than ever for Ohioans to observe bald eagles in the wild, as the population of these magnificent bird's continues to e~pand throughout the state," · said Mark Shieldcastle, biologist with the Division of Wildlife. "The potential to see both resident eagles ·and those wintering-over is a reality in all parts of the state." Observers are reminded not to approacil a ne>t.
