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 .. ..

' BY WILL LESTER WASHINGTON - Any rebate included in an econom. ic stimulu;, plan should include people who pay Social Security taxes, not just those who pay income taxes, a lealling Democratic Jawm'!ker said Sunday. "If we did the rebate based on the payroll tax, it would hit a lot more people at a lower end of the spectrum. And so to just say income taxes are the only taxes we're considering I hal people pay i;, unfair," said Charb Schumer. the New York lawmaker who i;, • chairman of the congre;,sional Joint Economic Committee. People making $35.000 to $50,000 pay a lot of federal taxe;,, he said, hul much of that is not income tax, but directed to programs like Social Security. Democrats and the Bush administration say . they want to reach a quick agreement so the economic stimulus can be applied quickly to the struggling economy. But any · Democratic insistence 'on covering those who don't pay income tax could be a cause of conflict. The White House, for now, envisions providing one-time rebate checks to people who pay• federal income taxes. That would leave out millions of the working poor, who do not make enough to pay income taxes but do prry Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Families of four earning less than $24,900 a year would not get a rebate under the White House approach, said Chad Stone, chief ecom>mist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a research group that focuses on how government programs affect the poor and middle class. He has estimated that about 22 million households file income tax returns but do not pay that tax because their earnings are so low. An additional 22 million households do not file a return, he said. Thi> group includes many older people on fixed . incomes, he said. . Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has said Bush "is · focused on broad-based tax relief for those who are paying taxes."

' BY WILL LESTER WASHINGTON - Any rebate included in an econom. ic stimulu;, plan should include people who pay Social Security taxes, not just those who pay income taxes, a lealling Democratic Jawm'!ker said Sunday. "If we did the rebate based on the payroll tax, it would hit a lot more people at a lower end of the spectrum. And so to just say income taxes are the only taxes we're considering I hal people pay i;, unfair," said Charb Schumer. the New York lawmaker who i;, • chairman of the congre;,sional Joint Economic Committee. People making $35.000 to $50,000 pay a lot of federal taxe;,, he said, hul much of that is not income tax, but directed to programs like Social Security. Democrats and the Bush administration say . they want to reach a quick agreement so the economic stimulus can be applied quickly to the struggling economy. But any · Democratic insistence 'on covering those who don't pay income tax could be a cause of conflict. The White House, for now, envisions providing one-time rebate checks to people who pay• federal income taxes. That would leave out millions of the working poor, who do not make enough to pay income taxes but do prry Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Families of four earning less than $24,900 a year would not get a rebate under the White House approach, said Chad Stone, chief ecom>mist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a research group that focuses on how government programs affect the poor and middle class. He has estimated that about 22 million households file income tax returns but do not pay that tax because their earnings are so low. An additional 22 million households do not file a return, he said. Thi> group includes many older people on fixed . incomes, he said. . Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has said Bush "is · focused on broad-based tax relief for those who are paying taxes." Paulson said that worked in 200 I apd 2003.

I unti .l Con·gress granted a sixmonth reprieve. As ·part of that expected bill, the administration wants to require that doctors adopt electronic record keeping. Those who do not buy such technology would get paid less than the doctors who do. Such records can help coordinate patient care, potentially reducing health costs., The widespread adoption of electronic records furthers the administration's priority of creating a marketplace that gives people more information · about. the quality and price of the care they receive, Leavitt said. Pallone said Democrats back the idea of electronic records, but he will not support requiring doctors to go along with the technology ·as a basis for their Medicare payments. "It just becomes an excuse to reduce their rates," Pallone said. Leavitt hinted that Bush will continue to recommend a slowdown in Medicare and Medicaid spending, but he declined · to get specific. Also at issue is an anticipated Democratic effort to allow the FDA to regulate tobacco. Leavitt said he opposes giving the agency that responsibility because some . people could get' a false sense of security about the safety of tobacco products. II making previous tax cuts permanent.

JOSEF HEBERT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Resting atop the Trident ~I missile, the W88 warhead IS among the mainstays of the country's submarine-based nuclear arsenal. For years, however. testing the warhead's components to ensure the weapon produces the intended blast instead of a fizzle has ·been complicated by a lack of replacement plutonium triggers. • Last summer, the first replacement plutonium trigger in 18 years received "diamond stamp" approval signaling it was rea~y for use in a warhead. To sc1enusts at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, that was a milestone to celebrate. It meant the warheads, after testing that .makes the original thgger unsmtable for reuse, could be reassembled with a new trigger and put back into service. . A watchdog ~roup now 1s raising questions about whether the replacement triggers, also known as pits, can be guaranteed to be as reliable as those already in some ·400 W88 warheads. The original triggers were made with the benefit of un~erground nuclear testin~. . wh1ch the U.S. ha~ted 111 1992, and through a different proce~s than ~he replac~ments: The last of the ong1- , nal tf!ggers were manufactured 111 the late .1980s. The ProJect on 9overnment OvefSlght says It was tol~ b~ .some Los Alamos SCJenllsts that the trigger certified last July and known as the w88 pit needed 72 waivers from the specifications used for the original trig~ers, including 53 engineermg-related changes. "With this large number of waivers, how is it possible to objectively tell whether the pit will even work?" said Danielle Brian, executive director of the group .that monitors nuclear . weaponsrelated activities. She posed that question in a letter last Friday to Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman. The government acknowledges differences between the old triggers and their replacements. The new ones were made by using a mold to cast the grapefruit-size plutonium sphere. The original triggers, all made at the now-closed Rocky Flats facility in Colorado, were hammered into precise form. This process is viewed by metallurgists as producing a stronger product. B th u s no ecause e · · longer conducts underground nuclear tests, the Los Alamos sc1ent1sts had to rely on other sources.to rephcate the ong111al tnggers a11d guarantee that the rep~ace­ ments would be as rehable ~s the old.

Those who do not buy such technology would get paid less than the doctors who do. Such records can help coordinate patient care, potentially reducing health costs., The widespread adoption of electronic records furthers the administration's priority of creating a marketplace that gives people more information · about. the quality and price of the care they receive, Leavitt said. Pallone said Democrats back the idea of electronic records, but he will not support requiring doctors to go along with the technology ·as a basis for their Medicare payments. "It just becomes an excuse to reduce their rates," Pallone said. Leavitt hinted that Bush will continue to recommend a slowdown in Medicare and Medicaid spending, but he declined · to get specific.

JOSEF HEBERT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Resting atop the Trident ~I missile, the W88 warhead IS among the mainstays of the country's submarine-based nuclear arsenal. For years, however. testing the warhead's components to ensure the weapon produces the intended blast instead of a fizzle has ·been complicated by a lack of replacement plutonium triggers. • Last summer, the first replacement plutonium trigger in 18 years received "diamond stamp" approval signaling it was rea~y for use in a warhead. To sc1enusts at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, that was a milestone to celebrate. It meant the warheads, after testing that .makes the original thgger unsmtable for reuse, could be reassembled with a new trigger and put back into service. . A watchdog ~roup now 1s raising questions about whether the replacement triggers, also known as pits, can be guaranteed to be as reliable as those already in some ·400 W88 warheads. The original triggers were made with the benefit of un~erground nuclear testin~. . wh1ch the U.S. ha~ted 111 1992, and through a different proce~s than ~he replac~ments: The last of the ong1- , nal tf!ggers were manufactured 111 the late .1980s. The ProJect on 9overnment OvefSlght says It was tol~ b~ .some Los Alamos SCJenllsts that the trigger certified last July and known as the w88 pit needed 72 waivers from the specifications used for the original trig~ers, including 53 engineermg-related changes. "With this large number of waivers, how is it possible to objectively tell whether the pit will even work?" said Danielle Brian, executive director of the group .that monitors nuclear . weaponsrelated activities. She posed that question in a letter last Friday to Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman. The government acknowledges differences between the old triggers and their replacements. The new ones were made by using a mold to cast the grapefruit-size plutonium sphere. The original triggers, all made at the now-closed Rocky Flats facility in Colorado, were hammered into precise form. This process is viewed by metallurgists as producing a stronger product. B th u s no ecause e · · longer conducts underground nuclear tests, the Los Alamos sc1ent1sts had to rely on other sources.to rephcate the ong111al tnggers a11d guarantee that the rep~ace­ ments would be as rehable ~s the old.

Rio Grande (6-12, 1-3 AMC) snapped a fourgame losing skid with the victory. The Redmen blistered the nets in the first half from long, makmg 7of-13 attempts (53.8 percent) from beyond the three-point arc m jumping out a 44-1 9 halftime lead. Rio Grande also received plenty of help from Wilberforce (7-10, 1-3 AMC) who committed 13 turnovers in the first half while making only eight baskets. The Bulldogs played better for the first 8-plus minutes of the second half and would get as close 13 points, but the night belonged to Rio Grande as the Redmen were able to keep Wilberforce at a safe distance all game long. R.io Grande was led by sophomore sharpshooter P.J. Rase with 17 points. Rase did the bulk of his damage in the first half in helping spring the Redmen to that huge lead. He went 3-of-5 from three-point land and scored 13 points in the opening half. Junior Brett Beucler added 13 points. Junior forward Brandon Ivery scored · 12 points off: the bench while junior center Will Norwell scored 10 points and collected ft ve rebounds. Wilberforce had two players score in double fi~­ ures, Andre Lyles tossed 111 I I points and dished out a game-high seven assists and Gerald Akridge added II points on 3-of-5 shooting from three-pomt land.

Wilberforce shot well from the floor, but the 26 turnovers and the fast start by the Redmen were too much to overcome. The Bulldogs shot 56.4 percent (22-of-39) from the floor for the game. They were 4of-12 (33.3 percent) from three point land and 8-of10 (80 percent) from the free throw line.

Perfection comes down to one game now. Despite a shaky Tom Brady, the New England Patriots were still too much for the bangeo-up San Diego Chargers in the AFC championship game Sunday, pulling out a 21-12 victory that sent them back to the Super Bowl for the fourth lime in seven seasons. ''I think there will be a time to sit back and reflect," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "We'll certainly enjoy this for a few days." Brady made several stunningly poor throws that fluttered in the chilly wind, Randy Moss was a · non-factor for the secono straight game and the highest-scoring team in NFL history sputtered all afternoon. Instead, the Patriots ( 18-0) relied on Laurence Maroney's spins, cuts and helmet-rattling runs. With injured Chargers star LaDainian Tomlinson reduced to mostly watching in a parka, the Patriots moved on ·to a Feb. 3 . niatchup in Glendale, Ariz., against the winner of the NFC title game between the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants. "Now we're going someplace warm, because I'm freezing my you-know-what off," Brady said. Yet for all the Brady Bunch has accomplished - they're the only team in NFL history to start out with 18 straight victories - the Patriots are well aware they must win that final game to avoid being relegated to a footnote. No matter, New England took care of the nuts and Bolts. The AP photo sellout crowd at Gillette Stadium. New England Patriots head coach Bill .Belichick hoists the Lamar Hunt chanted "Super Bowl!

McQuarters deep in New York territory, but he fumbled when he was hit by Grani on his return. Tackle Mark Tauscher recovered, giving the Packers another life. Manning was, well, cool on New York's first series, driving the Giants 71 yards on 14 plays, going 5-for-8 for 55 yards before Tynes kicked a 29-yarder. Green Bay went backward on its next series, an ugly three-and-out on which Favre passed three times, all behind the line of scrimmage. Total yardage: minus-3 yards. · Just as unseemly was 20year veteran punter Jeff · Feagles' first k:ick in a championship game on New Yor](s next possession, a 21 :yard shank. After Tynes nailed a 37 • yaroer for a 6-0 lead, Koren Robinson had Packers fans holding their breath as he overran the kickoff, then bobbled it before recovering at the Green Bay 10. Then Favre and Donald Driver took their breath away. with the longest pass in team playoff history. The c;~gey veteran receiver shook off a bump by Webster to break free as Favre double-pumped. Driver caught the ball at the 29 and raced the final 71 yards being chased by three Giants. None came close to preventing Driver's first touchdown in four months. Favre extended his NFL record with his 18th straight postseason game with a TD pass. Few have been so spectacular. Crosby added a 36-yard field goal with I:30 left in the half for a I 0-6lead: But Burress snatched the bali' • from AI Harris for a 32yard · completion, then dropped a long pass near the Green Bay end zone.

Tomlinson carried on the first two San Diego plays, and did not run it again because of a bad knee. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers hung in despite a bum knee and star tight end Antonio Gates did his best with a dislocated toe. Chargers coach Norv Turner needed to improvise without Tomlinson, a two-time rushing champ. . "He really couldn't get started," Turner said. "He went and tried to .go and just didn't have the power to push off." "Anything you say can't change the uisappointment you feel right now," he said. The Chargers gave a better performance than early this season, when they were routed 38-14 at New England. They trailed j11st 14-.12 midway in the third quarter this time, but Brady's 6-yard TD pass to Wes Welker was enough for New England. Maroney rail for 122 yards to help hold the lead. The Patriots seemed poised to pull away late in the third quarter, but a terrible throw by Brady cost them. On third-and-goal at the 2, Brady tried a ·touch pass over the middle that NFL mterceptions leader Antonio Cromartie easily picked off standing on ..the New England logo in the end zone. Nate Kaeding's fourth field goal, a 24-yarder midway through the third period, pulled San Diego to 14-12. Too bad for the Chargers, that was the story of their afterlloon - they'd drive close, only to wind up settling for a kick. , It was 23' degrees at gametime, making for frosty breaths on the field and putting the Patriots cheerleaders in parkas.

The goalposts shook with every gust while passes and punts sailed in crazy directions. "l .didn 't think it was that bad," Joint tlltuant - r ,.._Calfuf.. .......... MpiQc...... ,. Belichick said. "It wasn't a balmy day, I'm not saying that, but It. wasn't bad." Normally solid in chilly weath· er, Brady took a while to adj~st to the conditions. He badly mtssed his first t.wo passes - he threw a · total of two incompletions in 28 attempts last week in the win over Jacksonville. A few minutes later, Brady lofted a poor toss that Quentin Jammer intercepted. Belichick talked this week about the Chargers' "ball disruption" and turnovers certainly were a focus - San Diego Jed the league in takeaways, the Pats had the fewest giveaways. San Diego turned Jammer's pickoff into Kaeding's 26-yard field goal with 2:55 left iri the period. This wasn't what the fans at Gillette Stadium expected, and they grew silent at seemg the high· est-scoring team in NFL history sputter. The crowd also watched the Chargers refuse to back down, engaging in several post-play scuffles with the heavily favored Patriots. Tomlinson stepped in to calm hard-hitting former teammate Rodney Harrison after some early roughhousing. The Chargers did a good job at blanketing Moss, determined to . deny him tht: ball. New England eventually got it to him on a reverse, and he snaked loose for a 14-yard run that seemed to, energize the Patriots. Moss finished with one catch for 18 yards. Maroney plunged in from the I barely over a minute into the second quarter and, with very light flurries falling, the Patriots were ahead. Brady later hit Jabar Gaffney over the mi(ldle for a 12-yard TD and a 14-6 leao, prompting several . of the Patriots to celebrate. Brady merely walked off the field with his head down. . Kaeding kicked' field goals of 23 and 40 yards, and the Chargers trailed 14-9 at halftime.

The marker was secured through the efforts of Margaret Parker, president of the Meigs County Historical SocietY: She will announce information regarding the place and time of the unveiling ceremony. , Parker said that Campbell has been recognized as the .first Afro-American writer to publish a collection of black dialect poems. Campbell is said to have created charming and eloquent poems that some critics have suggested might have served as models for other poets, including Paul Laurence L Dunbar. Both Campbell and Dunbar ·are credited with .sharing true mastery of a black theatrical tradition tbut combined carefully recorded folk idioms, ageless comedy and moral instruction. Campbell attended public schools in ·• I Pomeroy and spent time at Miami College during which he wrote regularly for daily newspapers in Chicago.
