But there's an old saying among scientific guys : "You can 't make an omelet without breaking eggs, ideally by dropping a cement truck on them from a crane.'l The bottom line is this : When Simon ran his jet engine, his beer-can temperature decreased from 11 degrees C to 2 degrees C in just ftve minutes. This is very impressive, and would be even more so if we knew what a "C" was. The important thing is that thill guy, using science, has found a new, innovative and - above all - loud way to cool beer. Perhaps this will inspire other guys to come up with an even MORE scientific method, such as shooting beer cans into outer space, or sending them backward in time to the Ice Age.

Former marked a second straight leader. BY J~ANNINE AVERSA Buclgt;t and Policy Priorities, a research group that focuses on how government programs affect the poor and middle class. Stone estimates that about 22 million households ftle income tal\ returns but do hot pay that tax because their earnings are so low. An additional 22 million households do not file a return, he said. This group includes many older people on ftxed incomes, he said. Bush is not saying how much the rebate could run . Congressional aides say the White House is considering up to $800 for individuals and $1,600 for married couples. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Bush " is focused on broad-based tax re.lief for those who are paying taxes. And that's- that was the principle he laid out. This is something that has worked well before. It's worked in 200 I, worked in 2003 . Get to consumers; put money in the hands of people, letting them spend it rather \flan the government spend it." Two-thirds of those who received rebates in 2001 spent the money in the first six months, studies have indicated. Rich Cichowski, in Tallahassee, Fla. , said if he got a rebate, he probably would pay off some medical bills. Cichowski, 48, said he has had back surgery and is not working now. Brian Bethune, an economist at Global Insight, suggested that rebate checks go out to everyone who flies an income tax return, regardless of whether they pay any income tax. " It should be no strings attached," he said. "That would include more people in the net, including more of the working poor," he said. Democratic leaders are considering a $500 rebate for individuals. according to aides involved in the talks. Details for couples and people with children are being negotiated. , Democrats also are looking at ways to make sure more 9f the poor get the rebates. Lawmakers hope Bush can accept plans under consideration to give the rebates to tens of millions of ftlers who would not get checks under the White House approach. To this end, the rebates could be limited to individuals w'ith incomes of $85,000 or less and couples with · incomes of $110,000 or less, said congressional aides, speaking on condition of anonymity because no final (!ecisions had been made. Some economists said linking a rebate check to people who pay Social Security taxes is a better way to draw in the working poor. That is because the government imp<ises Social Security taxes on all workers, regardless of whether the person pays income tax. One drawback to this idea is that it would leave out people who do ·not have a work history and never have paid , Social Security taxes. Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama has suggested a one-time $250 payment . to Social Security recipients as one way to help energize the economy. Rebates aside, House Democrats and Republicans are considering increases in food stamps and higher unemployment benefits as part of an economic rescue measure. The goal is some relief for the poor, hardest hit by high energy and food prices and a deteriorating employment climate. "Democrats stand ready to work with the · president congre~sional and Republicans to put together a bipartisan package including tax rebates for most Americans, and one-time increases in programs directed at those who are bearing the heaviest' burdens in this economy," Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said in the Democratic radio address Saturday. In terms of the biggest bang per buck. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernank:e said it probably would come from tax rebates or other payments to low- or moderate-income people ·"who are likely · to spend quickly."

The important thing is that thill guy, using science, has found a new, innovative and - above all - loud way to cool beer.

Former marked a second straight leader. BY J~ANNINE AVERSA Buclgt;t and Policy Priorities, a research group that focuses on how government programs affect the poor and middle class. Stone estimates that about 22 million households ftle income tal\ returns but do hot pay that tax because their earnings are so low. An additional 22 million households do not file a return, he said. This group includes many older people on ftxed incomes, he said. Bush is not saying how much the rebate could run . Congressional aides say the White House is considering up to $800 for individuals and $1,600 for married couples. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Bush " is focused on broad-based tax re.lief for those who are paying taxes. And that's- that was the principle he laid out. This is something that has worked well before. It's worked in 200 I, worked in 2003 . Get to consumers; put money in the hands of people, letting them spend it rather \flan the government spend it." Two-thirds of those who received rebates in 2001 spent the money in the first six months, studies have indicated. Rich Cichowski, in Tallahassee, Fla. , said if he got a rebate, he probably would pay off some medical bills. Cichowski, 48, said he has had back surgery and is not working now. Brian Bethune, an economist at Global Insight, suggested that rebate checks go out to everyone who flies an income tax return, regardless of whether they pay any income tax. " It should be no strings attached," he said. "That would include more people in the net, including more of the working poor," he said. Democratic leaders are considering a $500 rebate for individuals. according to aides involved in the talks. Details for couples and people with children are being negotiated. , Democrats also are looking at ways to make sure more 9f the poor get the rebates. Lawmakers hope Bush can accept plans under consideration to give the rebates to tens of millions of ftlers who would not get checks under the White House approach. To this end, the rebates could be limited to individuals w'ith incomes of $85,000 or less and couples with · incomes of $110,000 or less, said congressional aides, speaking on condition of anonymity because no final (!ecisions had been made. Some economists said linking a rebate check to people who pay Social Security taxes is a better way to draw in the working poor. That is because the government imp<ises Social Security taxes on all workers, regardless of whether the person pays income tax. One drawback to this idea is that it would leave out people who do ·not have a work history and never have paid , Social Security taxes. Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama has suggested a one-time $250 payment . to Social Security recipients as one way to help energize the economy. Rebates aside, House Democrats and Republicans are considering increases in food stamps and higher unemployment benefits as part of an economic rescue measure. The goal is some relief for the poor, hardest hit by high energy and food prices and a deteriorating employment climate. "Democrats stand ready to work with the · president congre~sional and Republicans to put together a bipartisan package including tax rebates for most Americans, and one-time increases in programs directed at those who are bearing the heaviest' burdens in this economy," Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said in the Democratic radio address Saturday. In terms of the biggest bang per buck. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernank:e said it probably would come from tax rebates or other payments to low- or moderate-income people ·"who are likely · to spend quickly."

NJ sod fanri grows Green Bay's falnous turf NEWARK, NJ,. (AP) The Green Bay Packers have the home field advantage in this Sunday's NFC championship game, but the famous frozen tundra pf Lambeau Field was grown in the New York Giants' backyard in New Jersey. Tuckahoe Turf Farms, a sod grower between Ph!ladelphia and Atlantic City, supplies grass for some · of tl)e country's most wellknown sports venues, including Lambeau Field and Fenway Park. James Betts, the grandson of the company's founder, said he'll be watching Sunday's game to keep an eye on "his" grass, which was snow covered for last week's game against the Seattle Seahawks, "At first, it was a really big deal, but after a while you kind of just get used to it," he said. Tuckahoe ships its Kentucky .bluegrass in refrigerated trucks to football stadiums in Green Bay and Cleveland, and to sports teams· closer to home, including the Philadelphia Phillies and the Washington Nationals. ft is growing grass now for the New York Mets' new stadium, which opens in 2009. Business is good fo r the more than 2, I 00 farms nationwide that grow sod for homes, parks and sports fields. There 's . a steady demand for green landscaping, whether it's for backyard gardens. youth ballfields or giant stadiums, according to Kirk Hunter, executive director of · Producers Turfgrass lntemationaL Nursery, greenhouse and sod products are now New Jersey's largest agricultural export, with about $390 million in sales in 2006, sur-· passmg fruits and vegela- bles. New Jersey 's sandy soil is popular for professional sports venues because it drains well, said Stephen Hart, a specialist in turf management and weed science at Rutgers University. "It is one of the most critical issues for an athletic field." Hart said clay-based soil from the Midwest doesn't work as well , and grass grown in Southern climates isn't as hardy enough to withstand winter in the North. Professional baseball and football teams started coveting the sand-based technology about I0 to 15 years ago, said Mike Boekholder, head groundskeeper for the Philadelphia Phillies, which uses Tuckahoe sod. That's when Tuckahoe's business started to grow. The farm now has about 700 acres on land once cultivated for tomatoes, sweet potatoes and corn. Sales have nearly doubled, to between $4 rnill~n and $5 million annually. · Tuckahoe's sports business started when Princeton University wanted a sand~ased field in the mid1990s, Betts said. Word of mouth spread, and soon the company was supplying grass lo the Cleveland Browns. Green Bay has been using Tuckahoe grass for more than six years. The iconic "frozen tundra" of Lambeau Field consists of a quarterinch layer of sod, above a foot of sand to allow for drainage. "Sand doesn'i get as slippery when it's wet That's why sand is so important. It doesn't make mud when it's wef," said Allen Johnson, Green Bay's field manager. About 40 percent of Tuckahoe's business comes from sports fields , parks and -------------·----..~--------·-----·-- ~ --· other recreational complex-. es. The housing market weakness has affected business, which Betts said was down about 25 .percent in 2007. Nationally, the sod industry is feeling the impact <>f the housing market slowdown, but sales to other outlets like sports fields· continue to be strong, Hunter said. Sales grew by 25 percent to $1 billion from. 1997 to 2002, according to the most recent figures from the federal census of agriculture. More than 386,000 acres of sod were grown in 2002, and Hunter expects a steady increase when the 2007 figures are released. Bill Squires,· president of the Stadium Managers Association, said many NFL teams prefer natural grass to artificial or synthetic turf. But he said real grass gets · tom up when stadiums are used by other sports teams, and during concerts. ."The challenge we all have is the amount of use, the type of use and the climate that we play in," he said. "Flat out, I'm a grass guy. I think all of my peers are grass guys too, with the exception of the guys who have to play games · in domes., NFL players prefer grass, too, because they believe it cuts down on injuries, accprding to a ·recent play_er's association survey. Only a handful of companies across the country supply NFL and Major League Baseball stadiums with sod, said David Minner, a professor of horticulture at Iowa State University and .. the education chairman of the Sports Turf Managers Association.

Rivers returned to the practice field, encouraged his sprained right knee would heal enough for him to go Sunday against the New England Patriots. Chargers coach Norv Thrner took a more cautious approach. He listed Rivers as doubtful and said it would be a gametime decision. "We want him to be able to move well enough to protect himself," Thrner said. Rivers handled about onethird of the snaps in practice.

A temporary restraining order was issued this week in Florida, directing ihe star receiver to stay al least 500 feet from the home of a longtime female friend. "We're sort of used to dealing with them," linebacker Tedy Bruschi said. Like it or not, the Chargers ( 13-5)- have grown accustomed to Rivers raising a ruckus. Still trying to reach the elite level , Rivers has already made his mark with his mouth. He jawed across the field with Denver quarterback Jay Cutler late in the season, then verbally sparred with fans in Indy last week as he walked off the field. "I'm aware of it," Rivers said this week. "I'm out there having a good time as I did in the backyard since I was 5 years old. I'm not saying anything out of line." Volek has had his volatile moments, too. Upset thlit he didn't get .a chance to start, Volek asked Tennessee to trade him early in tfte 2006 season.

NJ sod fanri grows Green Bay's falnous turf NEWARK, NJ,. (AP) The Green Bay Packers have the home field advantage in this Sunday's NFC championship game, but the famous frozen tundra pf Lambeau Field was grown in the New York Giants' backyard in New Jersey. Tuckahoe Turf Farms, a sod grower between Ph!ladelphia and Atlantic City, supplies grass for some · of tl)e country's most wellknown sports venues, including Lambeau Field and Fenway Park. James Betts, the grandson of the company's founder, said he'll be watching Sunday's game to keep an eye on "his" grass, which was snow covered for last week's game against the Seattle Seahawks, "At first, it was a really big deal, but after a while you kind of just get used to it," he said. Tuckahoe ships its Kentucky .bluegrass in refrigerated trucks to football stadiums in Green Bay and Cleveland, and to sports teams· closer to home, including the Philadelphia Phillies and the Washington Nationals. ft is growing grass now for the New York Mets' new stadium, which opens in 2009. Business is good fo r the more than 2, I 00 farms nationwide that grow sod for homes, parks and sports fields. There 's . a steady demand for green landscaping, whether it's for backyard gardens. youth ballfields or giant stadiums, according to Kirk Hunter, executive director of · Producers Turfgrass lntemationaL Nursery, greenhouse and sod products are now New Jersey's largest agricultural export, with about $390 million in sales in 2006, sur-· passmg fruits and vegela- bles. New Jersey 's sandy soil is popular for professional sports venues because it drains well, said Stephen Hart, a specialist in turf management and weed science at Rutgers University. "It is one of the most critical issues for an athletic field." Hart said clay-based soil from the Midwest doesn't work as well , and grass grown in Southern climates isn't as hardy enough to withstand winter in the North. Professional baseball and football teams started coveting the sand-based technology about I0 to 15 years ago, said Mike Boekholder, head groundskeeper for the Philadelphia Phillies, which uses Tuckahoe sod. That's when Tuckahoe's business started to grow. The farm now has about 700 acres on land once cultivated for tomatoes, sweet potatoes and corn. Sales have nearly doubled, to between $4 rnill~n and $5 million annually. · Tuckahoe's sports business started when Princeton University wanted a sand~ased field in the mid1990s, Betts said. Word of mouth spread, and soon the company was supplying grass lo the Cleveland Browns. Green Bay has been using Tuckahoe grass for more than six years. The iconic "frozen tundra" of Lambeau Field consists of a quarterinch layer of sod, above a foot of sand to allow for drainage. "Sand doesn'i get as slippery when it's wet That's why sand is so important. It doesn't make mud when it's wef," said Allen Johnson, Green Bay's field manager. About 40 percent of Tuckahoe's business comes from sports fields , parks and -------------·----..~--------·-----·-- ~ --· other recreational complex-. es. The housing market weakness has affected business, which Betts said was down about 25 .percent in 2007. Nationally, the sod industry is feeling the impact <>f the housing market slowdown, but sales to other outlets like sports fields· continue to be strong, Hunter said. Sales grew by 25 percent to $1 billion from. 1997 to 2002, according to the most recent figures from the federal census of agriculture. More than 386,000 acres of sod were grown in 2002, and Hunter expects a steady increase when the 2007 figures are released. Bill Squires,· president of the Stadium Managers Association, said many NFL teams prefer natural grass to artificial or synthetic turf. But he said real grass gets · tom up when stadiums are used by other sports teams, and during concerts. ."The challenge we all have is the amount of use, the type of use and the climate that we play in," he said. "Flat out, I'm a grass guy. I think all of my peers are grass guys too, with the exception of the guys who have to play games · in domes., NFL players prefer grass, too, because they believe it cuts down on injuries, accprding to a ·recent play_er's association survey. Only a handful of companies across the country supply NFL and Major League Baseball stadiums with sod, said David Minner, a professor of horticulture at Iowa State University and .. the education chairman of the Sports Turf Managers Association.

She was 80.: Frontiere had been hospitalized for breast cancer for several months, the Rams said in a statement posted on their Web site.

Spassky was the Cold War played out with pawns instead of missites, a combat of mind games .between two masters at the height of their powers. Dubbed the Match of the Century and played in 1972 ·in the then-obscure Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, it made Fischer famous - and vice versa. It was in that same city that he died Thursday at age 64 - one year for each square on the board - an outcast from the chess world and estranged from the United States. · Fl.scher called the match n.otht' ng less than "the free world . against the lying, cheating hyp,ocntical Russians." The affable Spassky, backed by an allpowerful, state-sponsored chess machine, just wanted to play. . The Soviet Union had held the chess crown since the end of World War II, Spassky since 1969. It was clear the freewheeling Fischer - U.S. cham~ion since 14, grand master smce 15 - was the most serious threat to their dominance. The obnoxious but brilliant boy from Brooklyn.

She was 80.: Frontiere had been hospitalized for breast cancer for several months, the Rams said in a statement posted on their Web site.

At a downtown rally soon after the move was announced, thousands chanted ''Georgia! Georgia!" "You take my breath away," Frontiere told the crowd. "It's so ~ood to be back in St. Louts, my hometown." The Rams won the Super Bowl in 2000.

Spassky was the Cold War played out with pawns instead of missites, a combat of mind games .between two masters at the height of their powers. Dubbed the Match of the Century and played in 1972 ·in the then-obscure Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, it made Fischer famous - and vice versa. It was in that same city that he died Thursday at age 64 - one year for each square on the board - an outcast from the chess world and estranged from the United States. · Fl.scher called the match n.otht' ng less than "the free world . against the lying, cheating hyp,ocntical Russians." The affable Spassky, backed by an allpowerful, state-sponsored chess machine, just wanted to play. . The Soviet Union had held the chess crown since the end of World War II, Spassky since 1969.

DEBORAH SHELTON, BSN, RN IMMUNIZATION ACTIONPlAN cooRDINAToR GALUA couNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT With the beginning of the New· Year already in full swing, resolutions have been made which hopefully involve plans to take better care of ourselves. One of the areas we ·can improve upon is making cenain our immunizations are up-to-date. As an adult, you may think, "I took all the shots I needed when I was growing up; What else could .I possibly need other than a Tetanus booster every 10 years"? Well, I am writing this article to inform you that you may very well need another shot! Among the vaccinations available to adolescents and adults is the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) which I will be addressing today. But first, allow Ine-to touch upon the three diseases this vaccine will protect you against. Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis are diseases which all begin from a bacterium. Diptheria and pertussis are contagious and can be spread from p!!rson to person. Tetanus is contracted into the body through the smallest of scratches, cuts or puncture wounds. Tetanus, also known as Lockjaw, causes one to be unable to open his mouth or swallow. Painful muscle stiffness and spasms in the neck and abdominal muscles are also experienced, with the spasms lasting up to three to four weeks and full recovery taking months. TWo out of I0 people infected with the tetanus bacteriurn will die. Diphtheria is highly contagious and attacks the respiratory system causing the throat to become sore and breathing problems to arise due to the back of the throat becomi.ng coated with · a thick material. It also causes paralysis, bean failure and eventually death. Pertussis, also known as . Whooping Cough, also attacks breathing passages, mimicking cold symptoms for two to three weeks, and then follows with severe, prolonged coughing which spreads the disease to others. It becomes very difti- cult to breathe, eat food, drink liquids and sleep. Pneumonia, seizures (jerking and staring spells), brain damage, and death, especially in infants, result from . this disease. In 2004, the U.S. cxperienced the worst outbreak of pertussis in 40 years reporting over 25,000 cases with 8,000 being adolescents, III 8 year-olds and 7,000 adults. As a child, you should have already received vaccinations for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, commonly referred to as DTaP or DTP. Over the years, the protection these vaccines have provided you have decreased, especially the pertussis portion, as noted above with the outbreak of pertussis in 2004. This is why it is now recommended one receives the Tdap booster vaccine. The Tdap booster vaccine first became available in 2005 and is the first vaccine to protect both adolescents and adults from all three diseases (tetanus. diphtheria, and pertussis). Here at the Gallia County Health Department, we use the Tdap vaccine A<lacel, which is licensed to immunize per- sons I I -64 years of age. It is a one-time only booster and is to be followed every I0 years with a regular tetanus vaccination. (Tdap can also be given at the same time as the meningococcal vaccine that is also recommended for teenagers). At the Gallia County Health Department, Tdap vaccine is available free of charge to adolescents from 11-18 years of age. It is neeessary for a parent or legal guardian to accompany his/her child and bring an up-to-date shot record with them. At present; the vaccine is available to adults, 19-64 years old, for a $46 charge, which is the cost of the vaccine plus a $10 · administration fee. The Gallia County Health Department . is open Monday though Friday, 8 a.m. until 4 p.tn., and you .may contact us at (740)441-2950 for fu.rther information. We are more than happy to help you in any way that we can! References: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): Ohio Department of Health: Wikpedia.

DEBORAH SHELTON, BSN, RN IMMUNIZATION ACTIONPlAN cooRDINAToR GALUA couNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT With the beginning of the New· Year already in full swing, resolutions have been made which hopefully involve plans to take better care of ourselves. One of the areas we ·can improve upon is making cenain our immunizations are up-to-date. As an adult, you may think, "I took all the shots I needed when I was growing up; What else could .I possibly need other than a Tetanus booster every 10 years"? Well, I am writing this article to inform you that you may very well need another shot! Among the vaccinations available to adolescents and adults is the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) which I will be addressing today. But first, allow Ine-to touch upon the three diseases this vaccine will protect you against. Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis are diseases which all begin from a bacterium. Diptheria and pertussis are contagious and can be spread from p!!rson to person. Tetanus is contracted into the body through the smallest of scratches, cuts or puncture wounds. Tetanus, also known as Lockjaw, causes one to be unable to open his mouth or swallow. Painful muscle stiffness and spasms in the neck and abdominal muscles are also experienced, with the spasms lasting up to three to four weeks and full recovery taking months. TWo out of I0 people infected with the tetanus bacteriurn will die. Diphtheria is highly contagious and attacks the respiratory system causing the throat to become sore and breathing problems to arise due to the back of the throat becomi.ng coated with · a thick material. It also causes paralysis, bean failure and eventually death. Pertussis, also known as . Whooping Cough, also attacks breathing passages, mimicking cold symptoms for two to three weeks, and then follows with severe, prolonged coughing which spreads the disease to others. It becomes very difti- cult to breathe, eat food, drink liquids and sleep. Pneumonia, seizures (jerking and staring spells), brain damage, and death, especially in infants, result from . this disease. In 2004, the U.S. cxperienced the worst outbreak of pertussis in 40 years reporting over 25,000 cases with 8,000 being adolescents, III 8 year-olds and 7,000 adults. As a child, you should have already received vaccinations for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, commonly referred to as DTaP or DTP. Over the years, the protection these vaccines have provided you have decreased, especially the pertussis portion, as noted above with the outbreak of pertussis in 2004. This is why it is now recommended one receives the Tdap booster vaccine. The Tdap booster vaccine first became available in 2005 and is the first vaccine to protect both adolescents and adults from all three diseases (tetanus. diphtheria, and pertussis). Here at the Gallia County Health Department, we use the Tdap vaccine A<lacel, which is licensed to immunize per- sons I I -64 years of age. It is a one-time only booster and is to be followed every I0 years with a regular tetanus vaccination. (Tdap can also be given at the same time as the meningococcal vaccine that is also recommended for teenagers). At the Gallia County Health Department, Tdap vaccine is available free of charge to adolescents from 11-18 years of age. It is neeessary for a parent or legal guardian to accompany his/her child and bring an up-to-date shot record with them. At present; the vaccine is available to adults, 19-64 years old, for a $46 charge, which is the cost of the vaccine plus a $10 · administration fee. The Gallia County Health Department . is open Monday though Friday, 8 a.m. until 4 p.tn., and you .may contact us at (740)441-2950 for fu.rther information. We are more than happy to help you in any way that we can! References: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): Ohio Department of Health: Wikpedia.

Bontempi is among the 90 or so professional musicians who perform at the airport in its push to add "local flavor," a break from the chain gift shops and restaurants in airports from Miami to Seattle.

You get a lot of different people coming through," says Bontempi, a singer-songwriter who plays all original material at his monthly twohour airport shows. "I've had people on their cell phones walk !Jy and say ' Hey, they even have music here - listen' and they hold up their cell phone."

Director Anne Fletcher ("Step Up") and writer Aline Brosh · McKenna ("The Devil Wears Prada") also cram in a wisecracking best friend, the obligatory trying-on-clothes montage featuring all the hideous taffeta concoctions in · Jane's closet, and a cringeinducing sing-along to Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets."

John Bontempi takes it all in stride. He strums his guitar and sings another tune near the clanking baggage carousel at Nashville International Airport. "It took all of history just to make you mine," he war~ bles from under a dark cowboy hat. Bontempi is among the 90 or so professional musicians who perform at the airport in its push to add "local flavor," a break from the chain gift shops and restaurants in airports from Miami to Seattle. "We're the best gig in town," proclaimed Cathy Holland, the airport's director of community affairs . and customer' service. The musicians tend to . agree, even if the audience is antsy and the overhead "The announcements local time is 2:30 p.m." get annoying. "It's a lot of fun. You get a lot of different people coming through," says Bontempi, a singer-songwriter who plays all original material at his monthly twohour airport shows. "I've had people on their cell phones walk !Jy and say ' Hey, they even have music here - listen' and they hold up their cell phone." Nashville already has one of the busiest airports in the country for live music, but this month it will liven up even more with the opening of Tootsie's, an offshoot of the Tootsie's Orchid Lounge honky tonk where Willie ·and Kris Nelson Kristofferson once swapped >ongs and cold beers.

Hal Kneen, extension agent with The Ohio State University, said the latest ligures are from 2006 and reflect cash receipts . from.... livestock andcrops. -According to Kneen the top crops in Meigs County are tomatoes, sweet corn and greenh?use plants. There are approxuruitely 20 greenhouses in the county which grow, sell and ship flowers to vendors. Back in the 1950's, Meigs County was known as the chicken capital of the United States and though that is no longer the case, Kneen said it does reflect the county's ability to change with trends in agriculture to meet needs. Now, chickens and their eggs are barely a blip on the radar screen in terms of agribusiness in Meigs. wlth beef cattle, dairy cows, hogs. pigs and sheep leading the top of the list thesedays. · If looking at a map of Meigs County in terms of agribusiness, the hot .spots would include tomatoes not only in the Big Bend area but along Ohio 7 and in Reedsville; beef and daily cows would be found in Chester, Sutton and Scipio Townships, as would a dairy creamery in Snowville; grains and beef cattle would be reflected in Salem Township; while herb growers are found in Rutland Township. Kneen said the county is also seeing a growing horse population, including race horses in Sutton and Letart Townships. Another rising aspect of Meigs County's agribusiness is !Jiu'dwood sales. The Jastest figures also reflect 95.1 peroent of farms in Meigs County are owned.by a sole proprietor, 4 peroent are owned by one or more people. This breaks down into 540 farms with an average acreage of 159, proving agribusiness is not only alive and well in Meigs County, it is. in fact, a business. Deputies investigating B&E incidents .. ..
