Each village is faced with tight. budgets and som~ With declining revenue, making the dec1s1on for some to d1scard the pool and summer programs for our youth. I would like to remind the citizens that what we do for our youth tells what kind of people we ate and what lega· cy we want to leave for the future. . If the pool is opened in Middleport, every effort to contain costs should.be made by a tesponsible management that will be overseen by the village council's recreation committee. It is now up to the citizens of Middleport to speak up for or against this project. When I ran for council, I wanted to work for the good of all the citizens of the village of Middleport. to make it a good place to live. .

Bill O'Reilly verse to describe the man. Showing more bravery than most sports concerns, Giants management rejected public opinion and decided to give Coughlin one more year to tum things around. Once that was announced, even more ·vitriol descended on the coach. But now, against all odds, the New York Giants are going to the Super Bowl. The team is good, not great. Injuries have piled up. But game after game, the Giants played hard and won - sometimes ugly, but they won. Coach Coughlin, of course, is the champion of this !!ffort, the guy in Obituaries · charge. He has. every right to gloat, to mock those who diminished him last year. But he has done none of that. What Coughlin did do was work his whistle off. He .brought in some new coaches, lessened · his authoritative manner and let the passes fall where they may. His game plan worked. But most importantly, Coughlin did not allow his attackers to beat him down. That is the key to his Super Bowl journey. The negativity directed at Coughlin was almost nonstop; the derision he faced, astounding. Many of us would ·have packed it in and head- · ed out of town. Coughlin, however, did not get bitter; he got busy. And now he's a winner, no matter what happens in the .big game. It takes a person of strung character to absorb life's pain. But this is the key to almost all success. Nobody gets a pass; we all Colten and Conor Morris get worked over some<times. You simply have to fight your way through adversity if you want to prosper. I'm rooting . for To!Jl Coughlin and his team to win the Super Bowl. The Patriots are an amazing story, · as well, but Coughlin's grit is something every American should admire. This kind of story only haJ?pens once in a while. It IS the stuff of legend. Win or lose, there is a giant in the Super Bowl.

Her unilateral options decertifying the machines without providing funding to repl~ce them, or removing county elections board members who oppose her - would likely . cause an uproar just months before a massive election. Brunner herself has said · she is loath to be · that aggressive in her effort to impose optical-scan voting systems on 57 Ohio counties using touch-screens. Elections officials in a majority of the counties have said they don't want the systems, in which a computer scanner read s paper ballots. Both Brunner and the counties claim to have the allegiance of Ohio voters, who may again play a pivotal role in choosing the nation's next president in November. In a survey conducted by Brunner, 71 percent of county election · officials said they didn't have cohcerns after a report,she com- missioned found security problems with touch-screen machines. The report did not consider the probability that a breach WO!lld occur, or the preventive effects of basic polling-place security . measures, ' they said. Counties want to be able to choose which type of voting system they will use. Complaints about Brunner's proposal are · flowing into the offic_es of state lawmakers, who found out this week that there will be, at best, a $733 million budget deficit by the end of June 2009, and at worst, a $1.9 billion gap. Brunner will ask them to divert state money· into the estimated · $30 million in election changes she wants. "I haven't heard anyone (lawmakers) say they agree with the recommendations," said state Sen. John Catey, a Wellston Republican who reluctantly supported funding the voting machine study as a member of the state Controlling Board. The Republican lawmakers most closely involved in the debate over the elections changes are "lukewarm at best" to switching the machines , said Aaron ·Ockerman, a .lobbyist for the Ohio Association of Election Officials. · " I hope that no one approaches the discussion with the position that they are not willing to compro· mise or work with the other side," . said Republican House Speaker Jon Husted, who believes both types of voting machines ace acceptable.

The cost 0 f operating a pool for the few short weeks ol summer has risen steeply with the rise in wages, insurance and pool maintenance. . Each village is faced with tight. budgets and som~ With declining revenue, making the dec1s1on for some to d1scard the pool and summer programs for our youth. I would like to remind the citizens that what we do for our youth tells what kind of people we ate and what lega· cy we want to leave for the future. . If the pool is opened in Middleport, every effort to contain costs should.be made by a tesponsible management that will be overseen by the village council's recreation committee. It is now up to the citizens of Middleport to speak up for or against this project. When I ran for council, I wanted to work for the good of all the citizens of the village of Middleport. to make it a good place to live. .

Bill O'Reilly verse to describe the man. Showing more bravery than most sports concerns, Giants management rejected public opinion and decided to give Coughlin one more year to tum things around. Once that was announced, even more ·vitriol descended on the coach. But now, against all odds, the New York Giants are going to the Super Bowl. The team is good, not great. Injuries have piled up. But game after game, the Giants played hard and won - sometimes ugly, but they won. Coach Coughlin, of course, is the champion of this !!ffort, the guy in Obituaries · charge. He has. every right to gloat, to mock those who diminished him last year. But he has done none of that. What Coughlin did do was work his whistle off. He .brought in some new coaches, lessened · his authoritative manner and let the passes fall where they may. His game plan worked. But most importantly, Coughlin did not allow his attackers to beat him down. That is the key to his Super Bowl journey. The negativity directed at Coughlin was almost nonstop; the derision he faced, astounding. Many of us would ·have packed it in and head- · ed out of town. Coughlin, however, did not get bitter; he got busy. And now he's a winner, no matter what happens in the .big game. It takes a person of strung character to absorb life's pain. But this is the key to almost all success. Nobody gets a pass; we all Colten and Conor Morris get worked over some<times. You simply have to fight your way through adversity if you want to prosper. I'm rooting . for To!Jl Coughlin and his team to win the Super Bowl. The Patriots are an amazing story, · as well, but Coughlin's grit is something every American should admire. This kind of story only haJ?pens once in a while. It IS the stuff of legend. Win or lose, there is a giant in the Super Bowl.

Her unilateral options decertifying the machines without providing funding to repl~ce them, or removing county elections board members who oppose her - would likely . cause an uproar just months before a massive election. Brunner herself has said · she is loath to be · that aggressive in her effort to impose optical-scan voting systems on 57 Ohio counties using touch-screens. Elections officials in a majority of the counties have said they don't want the systems, in which a computer scanner read s paper ballots. Both Brunner and the counties claim to have the allegiance of Ohio voters, who may again play a pivotal role in choosing the nation's next president in November. In a survey conducted by Brunner, 71 percent of county election · officials said they didn't have cohcerns after a report,she com- missioned found security problems with touch-screen machines. The report did not consider the probability that a breach WO!lld occur, or the preventive effects of basic polling-place security . measures, ' they said. Counties want to be able to choose which type of voting system they will use. Complaints about Brunner's proposal are · flowing into the offic_es of state lawmakers, who found out this week that there will be, at best, a $733 million budget deficit by the end of June 2009, and at worst, a $1.9 billion gap. Brunner will ask them to divert state money· into the estimated · $30 million in election changes she wants. "I haven't heard anyone (lawmakers) say they agree with the recommendations," said state Sen. John Catey, a Wellston Republican who reluctantly supported funding the voting machine study as a member of the state Controlling Board. The Republican lawmakers most closely involved in the debate over the elections changes are "lukewarm at best" to switching the machines , said Aaron ·Ockerman, a .lobbyist for the Ohio Association of Election Officials. · " I hope that no one approaches the discussion with the position that they are not willing to compro· mise or work with the other side," . said Republican House Speaker Jon Husted, who believes both types of voting machines ace acceptable.

He is an old miserly man who has a hold on a number of young waifs who perform his dastardly crimes for him. Of course Sikes and Fagin get their "just desserts" in the end.

After the age of 40, have a breast exam eveiy year. You should become familiar with ho~ your breasts look and feel so that if changes occur, you can report them to your doctor right away. Plan to examine your breasts at the same time every month. Look at your breasts whi~e you are standing in front of a mirror with your hands down on your hips, and with your arms over your head. Make ~ure you examine the entire breast, up to the collarbone, into the armpit, over to the center of the chest, and to the bottom of the rib cage. Look for dimpling, rash or puckering of the skin or nipple discharge. Then lie down on your back using the pads of your fingers and press using light, medium and firm pressure in a circular motion, fol low a up and down pattern or circular. These are some quick steps that you can do that could save your life. Not all breasts lumps are cancerous. Fibrocystic tissue is the most common change of breasts lumps under the age of 50. This i' thought to be a reaction to overactive hormones. The breast ti>sue will feel like clumps. Cysts are single fluid-tilled sacs, and Fibroadenomas are single solid tumors made of fibroUS tiSSUe found in WOmen J8 and 3S. Last are Papillomas, which are small wart-like lumps in Ute mammary ducts near the nipple they cause a discharge of clear to bloody fluid . For a healthy lifestyle, a void tobacco products, maintain a healthy weight, and eat a well-balanced diet in which no more than 30 percent of your total calories come from fat and include ·whole grains, vegetables and fruits. Get plenty of exercise, walking 30 minutes five days a week is a great way to exercise. Practice stress management, and get enough sleep, · this will help ·your immune system. Do monthly breast exams, and learn about your family medical history that might put you at ri sk. If a lump is found, your doctor might suggest that you have a mammogram which is the best method of detecting breast cancer. A mammogram is a safe test used to look for any problems in a woman's breast. During a mammogram , the woman stands in front of the machine arrd the technologists; places her breasts between two plates (one breast' at a time). The plates press the tissue flat, you will feel squeezed or pinched and there is some discOJ:nfort. Most often two pictures are taken, one from the side and one . straight on. The results are recorded on film for a radiologist to examine. Mammograms allow the doctor to have a closer look · for lumps and changes within the breast tissue . .They · · · can show lumps that you may not be able to feel. A mammogram can give you a head sttut on treatment. You may feel a lump the size of a pea, but a mammogram can find a canGer when they are small often, several years before a lump can be felt. If a lump is found, a biopsy IJlay then be ordered by your doctor. The most common form of breast cancer is called ductal carcinoma and begins in the lining of the ducts. As you grow older, your chances of having breast cancer will increase. Almost half of all breast cancer occurs in women 6S and older; more than threequarters of them occur in women SO and older. Women 40 years and older sho11ld have a mammogram every year. If you have .a family history of breast cancer your doctor may request you have a mammogram before the age- of 40. Finding breast cancer early means better outcomes.

Unfortunately, they have . also seen family values change. People aren't giving God priority in their lives as they should, nor are they sta;ying loyal to one another even in families. When asked what' advice they would give married cou pies today, they say marriage is about giving and taking. It's about giving yourself to the one you love. It means mit insisting on having everything your w·ay all the time. It's about putting your loved one's needs before your own. It's also about taking your loved one for the person he or she is and not trying to change them to someone you think they should be; that's , God's work. It's about realizing that none of us are perfect, so we shouldn't make a big deal out of small mistakes.

After the age of 40, have a breast exam eveiy year. You should become familiar with ho~ your breasts look and feel so that if changes occur, you can report them to your doctor right away. Plan to examine your breasts at the same time every month. Look at your breasts whi~e you are standing in front of a mirror with your hands down on your hips, and with your arms over your head. Make ~ure you examine the entire breast, up to the collarbone, into the armpit, over to the center of the chest, and to the bottom of the rib cage. Look for dimpling, rash or puckering of the skin or nipple discharge. Then lie down on your back using the pads of your fingers and press using light, medium and firm pressure in a circular motion, fol low a up and down pattern or circular. These are some quick steps that you can do that could save your life. Not all breasts lumps are cancerous. Fibrocystic tissue is the most common change of breasts lumps under the age of 50.

Do monthly breast exams, and learn about your family medical history that might put you at ri sk. If a lump is found, your doctor might suggest that you have a mammogram which is the best method of detecting breast cancer. A mammogram is a safe test used to look for any problems in a woman's breast. During a mammogram , the woman stands in front of the machine arrd the technologists; places her breasts between two plates (one breast' at a time). The plates press the tissue flat, you will feel squeezed or pinched and there is some discOJ:nfort. Most often two pictures are taken, one from the side and one . straight on. The results are recorded on film for a radiologist to examine. Mammograms allow the doctor to have a closer look · for lumps and changes within the breast tissue . .They · · · can show lumps that you may not be able to feel. A mammogram can give you a head sttut on treatment. You may feel a lump the size of a pea, but a mammogram can find a canGer when they are small often, several years before a lump can be felt. If a lump is found, a biopsy IJlay then be ordered by your doctor. The most common form of breast cancer is called ductal carcinoma and begins in the lining of the ducts. As you grow older, your chances of having breast cancer will increase. Almost half of all breast cancer occurs in women 6S and older; more than threequarters of them occur in women SO and older. Women 40 years and older sho11ld have a mammogram every year. If you have .a family history of breast cancer your doctor may request you have a mammogram before the age- of 40. Finding breast cancer early means better outcomes.

Ohio Freemasons to celebrate bicentennial Charlie and Evelyn Jeffers 1985, these two churches along ·with three other churches in the area joined · congregations and formed Christ United Methodist Church. Charlie was once again worshiping with folks with whom he grew up. Their strong faith in God has helped make their marriage good. Charlie and Evelyn have been faithful members of Christ United Methodist Church. Even though the stroke that Charlie had five years ago has left him in a wheelchair, he and Evelyn still attend church almost every Sunday. "Their faithfulness in the · face of the hardship of getting to church . every Sunday, speaks volumes to everyone 'in our congregation," said the Rev. Kandyse Nuce, pastor of Christ Church. Their daughter, Sandy, is married to Brian Morgan and they reside in Grove City. Charlie and Evelyn have two grandchildren. Christopher Morgan and Lori Morgan Cox, and si~ great-grandchildren, all of whom they love and adore. When asked what changes they have seen dur-' ing their lives together, Evelyn said, "There ·have been quite a few changes, and I'm not sure all for the Skilled Nursing and R~tatlon Center t 70 Pinecrest Dr. Galllpoll~r, Ohio 45631 740-446-7112 '· . Unfortunately, they have . also seen family values change. People aren't giving God priority in their lives as they should, nor are they sta;ying loyal to one another even in families. When asked what' advice they would give married cou pies today, they say marriage is about giving and taking. It's about giving yourself to the one you love. It means mit insisting on having everything your w·ay all the time. It's about putting your loved one's needs before your own. It's also about taking your loved one for the person he or she is and not trying to change them to someone you think they should be; that's , God's work. It's about realizing that none of us are perfect, so we shouldn't make a big deal out of small mistakes.

While. fresh produce often is picked early (to allow it to ripen during transit), frozen items usually are picked at their height ripeness, when flavors and nutrients are at their peak. ... ... ....... .............. ,.., .................... .., ..... ....... .... ..... ...... --- - 18081. leather. lo.tted. Large producers usually freeze fruits and vegetables within hours of being harvested, ensuring. that nutrients and flavors are locked in. Those same qualities tend to degrade in most fresh produce. Still, even frozen produce can suffer from long storage. It's best to consume them within a few months. This recipe for coconut-ginger baby carrots is a delicious and easy way to tul1)' an inexpensive bag of frozen vegetables into an exotic, healthy side .dish. Fresh carrots can be substituted, and the dish will cook faster. An essential Asian combination of minced fresh ginger and garlic, sauteed in a tiny amount of oil, ·provides the flavor base for these carrots. Unsweetened, canned coconut milk · (which can be found in the Asian section of your rnarket) and chopped fresh cilantro add slightly sweet and .pungent notes. Light, unsweetened coconut milk is available, but it is thinned with water and has less flavor than full-fat versions. Since very little is used in this recipe, use the full-fat version for best flavor (extra coconut milk can be frozen).

Ohio dairy farmers protest move towards hormone-free milk WOOSTER (AP) Dairy farmers throughout Ohio are being pressured to stop using a synthetic hormone that boosts milk production in cows, angering larlle-dairy farmers who cla1m the 'move will reduce profits and increase retail milk prices. Recombinant bovine somatotropin, or rBST, is banned in Canada and Europe, primarily due to concerns that it leaves cows more prone to illness. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration insists the hormone is safe and the agency approved rBST to boost production in dairy cows in 1993. Still, many consumers concerned about possible safety risks are choosing milk that is free of synthetic hormones. A growing number of retailers, including grocery chains Safeway and Kroger Co., have begun selling it. As the market for milk from cows using the horStanley Carmony, 54, of mone dries up, Dairy Carmony Farm Ltd. m Farmers of America has Canaan Townshil' said the asked its nearly 790 mem- hormone is perfectly safe, bers in Ohio to stop using and helps his 460 dairy cows rBST, and Dairy Marketing · each produce up· to_an extra Services, which markets gallon more milk a day.

However, farmers w:ho run smaller farms -. whtch often do not treat thetr cows with rBST - support the shift, saying it is better for both the cows and the consumers. Kevin Lee, 47, who milks about 225 cows at his Lee Dairy Farms near Magnolia in Carroll County, said the move to rBST-free milk reflects his way of doing business. . "We're trying to do it naturally," Lee said. "We're not trying to push our cows." Dairy Marketing Services and Dairy Farmers of America say they will pay farmers a premium for not using the hormone beginning after Feb. I. According to the affidavit, the extra pay, ·estimated at between 25 cents and 35 cents per I00 pounds of milk, could be eliminated at any time. farmers pulled about 6.5 percent of their ·acres out of the program between September and November, reducing the acreage from 1.34 million to about 1.25 million. In Ohio, about 16,000 of the 364,000 acres in the Conservation Reserve Program could be switched back to com and soybean fields this year, said Jeff Mitchell, Ohio conservation programs chief at the U.S. Farm Service Agency. Farmers sign contracts that last I0 or 15 years and require them to plant grasses instead of crops. The goal is to reduce erosion and cut down on the amount of farm . fertilizer~ and pesticides that flow tnto streams. The grasses also give animals shelter. In exchange, farmers are paid a set amount. But some farmers say the government's annual payment rates have not kept up with cash rents or property tax bills. "The world needs corn, and corn prices are high enough," said Bill Richards, a central Ohio family farmer who IS takmg 15 acres out of the program _this spring.

Ohio dairy farmers protest move towards hormone-free milk WOOSTER (AP) Dairy farmers throughout Ohio are being pressured to stop using a synthetic hormone that boosts milk production in cows, angering larlle-dairy farmers who cla1m the 'move will reduce profits and increase retail milk prices. Recombinant bovine somatotropin, or rBST, is banned in Canada and Europe, primarily due to concerns that it leaves cows more prone to illness. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration insists the hormone is safe and the agency approved rBST to boost production in dairy cows in 1993. Still, many consumers concerned about possible safety risks are choosing milk that is free of synthetic hormones. A growing number of retailers, including grocery chains Safeway and Kroger Co., have begun selling it. As the market for milk from cows using the horStanley Carmony, 54, of mone dries up, Dairy Carmony Farm Ltd. m Farmers of America has Canaan Townshil' said the asked its nearly 790 mem- hormone is perfectly safe, bers in Ohio to stop using and helps his 460 dairy cows rBST, and Dairy Marketing · each produce up· to_an extra Services, which markets gallon more milk a day.

However, farmers w:ho run smaller farms -. whtch often do not treat thetr cows with rBST - support the shift, saying it is better for both the cows and the consumers. Kevin Lee, 47, who milks about 225 cows at his Lee Dairy Farms near Magnolia in Carroll County, said the move to rBST-free milk reflects his way of doing business. . "We're trying to do it naturally," Lee said. "We're not trying to push our cows." Dairy Marketing Services and Dairy Farmers of America say they will pay farmers a premium for not using the hormone beginning after Feb. I. According to the affidavit, the extra pay, ·estimated at between 25 cents and 35 cents per I00 pounds of milk, could be eliminated at any time. farmers pulled about 6.5 percent of their ·acres out of the program between September and November, reducing the acreage from 1.34 million to about 1.25 million. In Ohio, about 16,000 of the 364,000 acres in the Conservation Reserve Program could be switched back to com and soybean fields this year, said Jeff Mitchell, Ohio conservation programs chief at the U.S. Farm Service Agency. Farmers sign contracts that last I0 or 15 years and require them to plant grasses instead of crops. The goal is to reduce erosion and cut down on the amount of farm . fertilizer~ and pesticides that flow tnto streams. The grasses also give animals shelter. In exchange, farmers are paid a set amount. But some farmers say the government's annual payment rates have not kept up with cash rents or property tax bills. "The world needs corn, and corn prices are high enough," said Bill Richards, a central Ohio family farmer who IS takmg 15 acres out of the program _this spring.

REED BREED®MYDAI~YSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT -Today is the last day to spealc out about the future of the Middleport Pool. Middleport Village Council Member Julie Proctor is seeking fublic inp\lt about the poo after council members indicated earlier this month they were in favor of keeping it closed for the summer. Those council members feel the pool is an unnecessary .drain ~n the July, 2007, because it was village's finances, especially operating at a deficit, attenwhen considering public use ·dance was low, and mainteof the pool, but Proctor has nance issues were high. At said it should rvmain open if the Jan. 14 meeting, Fiscal Officer Susan Baker said the village canafford it .

She said council it can operate for the upcom- should expect to appropriate ing summer. between $20,000 and The pool was closed in $30,000 in general funds to make up the total $35,000 to $40,000 needed to operate the pool for the season. Both Baker and Mayor Michael Gerlach said the matter will likely come down to whether residents want to operate the pool or spend general fund revenue on other services, including police protection. Baker said the pool is only busy during the early days of the season, in late May and June. She, Gerlach and some council members. have said there is little doubt th e publie suppons the pool's operation, but said the village's financial condition will require the village to cut . expenses in other areas such as police protection to underwrite it. Last year, the village received around $5,000 in donations toward the pool 's operation. Proctor can be- reached at 992-4543 .

Cu. for now, even as progress in INDEX . • • r .. political reconciliation has proved disappointing . Some of the ideas Bush has pushed in the annual speech have fallen flat and even backfired. In 2005, he advocated an overhaul of Social Security, saying . the program was "headed toward bankruptcy." It went nowhere in Congress. For three years running, from 2004 to 2006, he appealed to lawmakers to approve a guest worker program as part of a major changes in immigra-. tion laws. Members of his own party sabotaged the plan . The State of the Union, first delivered by Geotge Washington in 1790, gives the president a chance outline his agenda on national television. Yet initiatives • aired in optimism quickly can fall victim to divisive politics, budget fights or events far from Washington. Building his case for invading Iraq, B :sh stated in his 2003 address that the British government had learned that Saddam Hussein had sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. That assertion turned out to be wrong and the blunder punched a hole into Bush's JUStification for · the U.S.-led · invasion of Iraq that March. It also led to the scandal over the leak df Valerie Plame 's . CIA identity. A newspaper column by her husband, ormer ambassador, disputed Bush's statement about the uranium, precipitated ' Pia me's ar • unmaskin~ and spawned an investigauon that eventually· ensnared Vice President Dick Cheney's then-chief of staff. · Iraq has figured prominently in Bush's State ofthe Union addresses, defending the war while the U.S. death toll rises - from 500 when spoke in 2004 to 3,900-plus today: In this year's speech, set for Monday ·night, Bush's words on the sagging economy might command more attention from a war-weary public . When it comes to his economic message, Bush has come full circle. As Bush prepared for the short ride down Pennsylvania.Avenue to the Capitol in 2002, the Senate was debating an economic aid plan . "We will defeat ' this recession," he said in that year's address. Technically, the recession . was over by that time . The of National Bureau Economic Research, · the recqgnized arbiters for dating recessions, says the last one started in Mar.ch 200 I and ended that November. This year, amid fears of a new recession, Bush is delivering his speech days after the White House and congressional le~ders agreed on a multibilliondollar proposal to revive an economy strained by a housing slump, a credit crisis and high energy prices. A centerpiece of hi s speech last year - a plan to cut gasoline use by 20 percent by 2017 and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil - struck a chord. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
