While an opening date has not been announced, it is anticipated that the center be in full operation by fall. With the close· proximity to Meigs High School, Superintendent William Buckley has said that it opens the door of opportunity for more Meigs High School juniors and seniors to take advantage of the post-secondary educ&tion option which allows students to accumulate college credit while at the same time completing required high school credits. Phoenix Associates of Parkersburg, . W.Va.; received the contract to build the center. Funding came from a variety of sources including private donations, will grant funds and loans from local banks. The facility has been named the Bernard V. Fultz Center of Higher Education. The late Mr. Fultz, prominent Meigs County attorney, con tributed $200,000 to the project and was recognized last summer by Paul Reed, CIC president, during a celebration of Fultz's 50th year as a practicing attorney here. At that time, Reed called Fultz the "father of the CIC" and spoke along with many others of his many contributions, including his gift to the building for the Rio Grande Center. Reed said that while a "soft opening'~ of the center may take place this spring and a few summer classes offered, the grand opening will probably be delayed until just before the fall semester begins.

She is not who I would have picked because of her difficult attitude, ·but my husband says we should agree because she asked. I say no because I am not comfortable with her attitude toward other members , of their family.

Is it polite for peopie to ask to be godparents? I thought it was strictly up to the parents to decide who would best fill their positions if they were unable to. Please I:telp. - Running Out of Time Dear Running Out: It is indeed inappropriate for someone to. ask to be the godparent. However, you are mistaken that godparents raise the child if something should happen to you. Godparents are supposed to be spiritual guides for ·your ·· child, and their responsibilities are religious in nature. Frankly, many godparents have no idea what their responsibilities are and do nothing abou! them. If you take the religious aspect seriously, you should select someone who fits tlie role.

One of his sisters has asked if ·she and her husband could be the godparents. She is not who I would have picked because of her difficult attitude, ·but my husband says we should agree because she asked. I say no because I am not comfortable with her attitude toward other members , of their family.

Is it polite for peopie to ask to be godparents? I thought it was strictly up to the parents to decide who would best fill their positions if they were unable to. Please I:telp. - Running Out of Time Dear Running Out: It is indeed inappropriate for someone to. ask to be the godparent. However, you are mistaken that godparents raise the child if something should happen to you. Godparents are supposed to be spiritual guides for ·your ·· child, and their responsibilities are religious in nature. Frankly, many godparents have no idea what their responsibilities are and do nothing abou! them. If you take the religious aspect seriously, you should select someone who fits tlie role.

' Parents say students recovering after teach~r stabbed at school · BY TERRY KINNEY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ~trf\Ocmtt \\(~E\ UCL\~\oW ~ 0~~~~ ultfctl\~ Your personal cloning manual; copies available Human cloning:, Will it be a lifesaving scientific advance, like penicillin? Or will it prove to be a horrible mistake that unleashes untold devastation upon humanity, like the accor. ? . dIOn. As American citizens, we need · to form strong opinions about this issue, so that we can write letters to our congresspersons, so tiJat their staffs can, as a precautionary measure, burn them. But first we must inform ourselves by asking questions and then answering them in the "Q" and "A" format. Q. Does Tom Cruise shave his chest? A. We meant questions about cloning. Q. Oh, OK: What is . ? .cIomng. · A. In scientific terms, it is a procedure by which a theoretically infinite number of genetically identical organisms emerge, one at a time, from a Volkswagen Beetle. Q. N1,1, that's "Clowning." A. Whoops! Our bad! Cloning is a procedure whereby scientists, using tweezers, manipulate DNA, which is a tiny genetic code thai is found Dave Berry in all living things as well as crime scenes that ·have been visited by O.J. Simpson. A single strand of DNA can be used to create a whole new organism, as was· proved when scientists at Stanford University took. DNA from the fingernail of.a deceased man and grew a six-foot-tall, 190pound fingernail . Unfortunately, it escaped from the laboratory and held police at bay for hours by screeching itself against a blackboard. It was'finally subdued by National Guard troops equipped with earplugs and a huge emery board. Q. Have scientists cloned any other organisms?. A. In 1 1997, a .group of Scottish scientists cloned a sheep named .Dolly, which was genetically .identical to the original sheep. Q. How could they tell? A. They had the original farmer take a hard look at it, and he said, ~uote : ."That's her, all right!' Q.Wow. A. Of course, 'he said the same thing about one of the scientists. · Q. Have there been .any other successful' cloning experiments? A. Yes. In 1995, scientists in Aorida used a single of strand of DNA from the Backstreet Boys to form 'N Sync. Or maybe it was the other way· around. Q. What about humans? A. We are getting very close. Recently, a firm in Massachusetts announced that it had cloned some huma" embryos. However, these embryos were alive for only a few hours, and stopped growing after they had formed microscopic six-cell spheres. · Q. What did the firm do with them? A. They are currently working in Customer Service. Q. Is anybody else trying to clone humans'! . A. Yes. A group called the "Raelians," which was founded in France, and which we are not making up, claims to be working on a human-cloning project. According to their Internet site . (http:llwww.rael.org), the Raelians are named for a French journalist named Rae! who, irt 1973, "was contacted by a visitor from another planet." This visitor informed Rael that hUman life was brought to Earth by aliens, who will come back. and visit us if we build them an embassy. The Raelians estimate that this will cost $20 million, and would appreciate donations for this vital mission. Q. Where does the U.S. government stand on this issue? . A. There is giuwing biparllsan sup\'Ort for a nuclear strike agamst France. Q. Speaking of wacko cults, do you think Tom Cruise is so handsome? A. We think he is a little chest-shaving weasel, but when we ask our spouse to confmn this, she JUSt gets this dreamy look in her · eyes. Q. How do you, personally, feel about human cloning? · A. Why do you think we refer to ourselves in the plural?

Or will it prove to be a horrible mistake that unleashes untold devastation upon humanity, like the accor. ? . dIOn. As American citizens, we need · to form strong opinions about this issue, so that we can write letters to our congresspersons, so tiJat their staffs can, as a precautionary measure, burn them. But first we must inform ourselves by asking questions and then answering them in the "Q" and "A" format. Q. Does Tom Cruise shave his chest? A. We meant questions about cloning. Q. Oh, OK: What is . ? .cIomng. · A. In scientific terms, it is a procedure by which a theoretically infinite number of genetically identical organisms emerge, one at a time, from a Volkswagen Beetle. Q. N1,1, that's "Clowning." A. Whoops! Our bad! Cloning is a procedure whereby scientists, using tweezers, manipulate DNA, which is a tiny genetic code thai is found Dave Berry in all living things as well as crime scenes that ·have been visited by O.J. Simpson. A single strand of DNA can be used to create a whole new organism, as was· proved when scientists at Stanford University took. DNA from the fingernail of.a deceased man and grew a six-foot-tall, 190pound fingernail . Unfortunately, it escaped from the laboratory and held police at bay for hours by screeching itself against a blackboard. It was'finally subdued by National Guard troops equipped with earplugs and a huge emery board. Q. Have scientists cloned any other organisms?. A. In 1 1997, a .group of Scottish scientists cloned a sheep named .Dolly, which was genetically .identical to the original sheep. Q. How could they tell? A. They had the original farmer take a hard look at it, and he said, ~uote : ."That's her, all right!' Q.Wow. A. Of course, 'he said the same thing about one of the scientists. · Q. Have there been .any other successful' cloning experiments? A. Yes. In 1995, scientists in Aorida used a single of strand of DNA from the Backstreet Boys to form 'N Sync. Or maybe it was the other way· around. Q. What about humans? A. We are getting very close. Recently, a firm in Massachusetts announced that it had cloned some huma" embryos. However, these embryos were alive for only a few hours, and stopped growing after they had formed microscopic six-cell spheres. · Q. What did the firm do with them? A. They are currently working in Customer Service. Q. Is anybody else trying to clone humans'! . A. Yes. A group called the "Raelians," which was founded in France, and which we are not making up, claims to be working on a human-cloning project. According to their Internet site . (http:llwww.rael.org), the Raelians are named for a French journalist named Rae! who, irt 1973, "was contacted by a visitor from another planet." This visitor informed Rael that hUman life was brought to Earth by aliens, who will come back. and visit us if we build them an embassy. The Raelians estimate that this will cost $20 million, and would appreciate donations for this vital mission. Q. Where does the U.S. government stand on this issue? . A. There is giuwing biparllsan sup\'Ort for a nuclear strike agamst France. Q. Speaking of wacko cults, do you think Tom Cruise is so handsome? A. We think he is a little chest-shaving weasel, but when we ask our spouse to confmn this, she JUSt gets this dreamy look in her · eyes. Q. How do you, personally, feel about human cloning? · A. Why do you think we refer to ourselves in the plural?

This year's ~uad has 31 new players, eight of which are transfers and 15 returning players which should give Rio Grande a solid foundation to build on in 2008. Three key losses for the Redmen from last season will be difficult to replace in lst team · All-NAIA Region IX and honorable mention NAIA All-American catcher Kyle Wells as well as 2nd team Ali-AMC · South leftfielder Michael Warren and ace pitcher Nate Chau. Rio Grande head coach Brad Warnimont feels that he has pieces in place to soften blow from the loss of such firepower. "A lot of these kids are going to have an impact," Warnimont said. "We've got some transfers and we've got a great deal of freshmen who we plan on a hav.ing a great deal of tmpact. on the program." The pitching staff will face the biggest facelift in 2008. At present the rotation has plenty .of talent but does not have. an established ace while the bullpen should be strength . of the team. "I think our pitching staff is going to Ret ~tronger as the season goes on,' Wamimont said. "The pitcher's are throwing extremely well right now, we don't have a set ace right now, but we've got a lot of guys in the mix that are going to be competing for the baseball come conference weekend." "We've got 20-some games to sort that out and we'll see who is going to step up and who is going to trip and stumble and fall," he added. "We hope they all .step up, that would be an ideal situation, we've got a great deal of arms that we feel can come in and contribute and keep us in the game." Senior .Chris Brown (Bidwell, OH) is one of four returning hurlers and like the three previous season's, will be expected to deliver for Warnimont out of the bullpen. Brown has led the staff with 37 ... appearances the last three seasons. Also returning ·is sophomore J. W. Miller (Chillicothe, OH). Miller is coming off Tommy John surgery but is expected to be ready to go, Also returning is Jason Parsons (Hamilton, OH). Parsons was 2-1 Freshman lC.

Sunday,Februaryto,2oo8 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis SPECIAL TO THE TIMES-SENTINEL RIO GRANDE-The University of Rio Grande baseball season is set to get underway February 8-9 with a three•game series agamst Bryan College After finishing 24-27-1 last season the Redmen are eager to get another year started. This year's ~uad has 31 new players, eight of which are transfers and 15 returning players which should give Rio Grande a solid foundation to build on in 2008. Three key losses for the Redmen from last season will be difficult to replace in lst team · All-NAIA Region IX and honorable mention NAIA All-American catcher Kyle Wells as well as 2nd team Ali-AMC · South leftfielder Michael Warren and ace pitcher Nate Chau. Rio Grande head coach Brad Warnimont feels that he has pieces in place to soften blow from the loss of such firepower. "A lot of these kids are going to have an impact," Warnimont said. "We've got some transfers and we've got a great deal of freshmen who we plan on a hav.ing a great deal of tmpact. on the program." The pitching staff will face the biggest facelift in 2008. At present the rotation has plenty .of talent but does not have. an established ace while the bullpen should be strength . of the team. "I think our pitching staff is going to Ret ~tronger as the season goes on,' Wamimont said. "The pitcher's are throwing extremely well right now, we don't have a set ace right now, but we've got a lot of guys in the mix that are going to be competing for the baseball come conference weekend." "We've got 20-some games to sort that out and we'll see who is going to step up and who is going to trip and stumble and fall," he added. "We hope they all .step up, that would be an ideal situation, we've got a great deal of arms that we feel can come in and contribute and keep us in the game." Senior .Chris Brown (Bidwell, OH) is one of four returning hurlers and like the three previous season's, will be expected to deliver for Warnimont out of the bullpen. Brown has led the staff with 37 ... appearances the last three seasons. Also returning ·is sophomore J. W. Miller (Chillicothe, OH).

The service is designed in part to help all of the international students living on campus this fall, as many of .these students do not have vehicles or.any other way to get to town when they need to purchase items. The service is open to all Rio Grande .students, though, and is offered for free. The shuttle service is open to students on Tuesdays, and runs at 10 a.m., noon, 2 and 4 p.m. The shuttle picks up students on the Rio Grande campus at Circle Drive between the Rhodes . Student Center and the Berry Cepter, and then iravels to the Wal-Mart · in ,Gallipolis. The shuttle has 14 spaces available for stu-' dents on each trip. Eric McLaughlin, director· of student programming at Rio Grande, explained, that . the idea for the shunJe service came up .because Rio · Grande has two l;uge groups of exchange students on campus this spring, in addition to the large number of international students studying here for the whole year. Many of the international students do not have · their own cars, and ·have a difficult time traveling to Gallipolis. "It's something we needed to do for our students who don't have cars," McLaughlin said.

The service is designed in part to help all of the international students living on campus this fall, as many of .these students do not have vehicles or.any other way to get to town when they need to purchase items. The service is open to all Rio Grande .students, though, and is offered for free. The shuttle service is open to students on Tuesdays, and runs at 10 a.m., noon, 2 and 4 p.m. The shuttle picks up students on the Rio Grande campus at Circle Drive between the Rhodes . Student Center and the Berry Cepter, and then iravels to the Wal-Mart · in ,Gallipolis. The shuttle has 14 spaces available for stu-' dents on each trip. Eric McLaughlin, director· of student programming at Rio Grande, explained, that . the idea for the shunJe service came up .because Rio · Grande has two l;uge groups of exchange students on campus this spring, in addition to the large number of international students studying here for the whole year. Many of the international students do not have · their own cars, and ·have a difficult time traveling to Gallipolis.

And you're watching him thinking, "Yeah, I know exactly how he feels."

Submitted photo ODA releases new rule on dairy labeling REYNOLDSBURG Ohio Department of Agriculture has implemented a new rule on dairy labeling regarding recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbSl), a supplement used for milk production. The rule provides guidelines for the language that is permitted on labels and establishes a verification process for marketing organizations and labeling entities. "After months of input from consumers and industry stakeholders this rule was developed to give guidance to the dairy .industry to prevent mislabeled products," _ Ohio Agriculture Director Robert Boggs said. "Our number one goa) is to provide consumers with safe and healthy foods, and to offer clear and consistent information about the food . consumers purchase. Ohio's dairy labels will offer consumers information about how their food is produced." The department will !\pprove labels if a claim that the milk is derived "from cows not supplemented with rbST" is verifiable. The claim must also include a contiguous, identically formatted U.S. Food and Drus Administration (FDA) dtsclaimer stating, "no significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rbSTsupplemented and nonrbST-supplemented cows." Since there is no test to detect rbST in inilk, the rule places the burden of verification on the marketing organization or labeling entity, which must be able to prove production claims are accurate through proper documentation. ·For instance, producer-signed affidavits, farm weight tickets, and processing plant audit trails are among some of the supporting documents that must be readily available for ODA inspection. "We expect marketing organizations and labeling entities t<i have verification systems in place to ensure consumers are receiving what is printed on the label," Boggs said. Gov. Ted Strickland signed an executive order issuing an emergency rule ·prohibiting the mislabeling of dairy products· and defming ·what constitutes false and misleading labels for dairy products. The emergency rule, effective immediately, establishes acceptable, more consistent labelins practices for dairy markehng organizations and labeling entities pertaining to rbST. The emergency rule provides guidance to the dairy industry and helps interpret the extsting law contained in Ohio Revised Code 917.05 and 3715.60. These laws authorize ODA to take enforcement action if a dairy label contains false or misleading statements. The emergency rule is in effect for 90 days while · ODA completes the statutory rule-making process t.hrough the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review. As part of the process, a formal public hearing will be held · to give stakeholders an opportunity to comment on the proposed rule. For more information on the executive · order and emergency rule or for pub· lie comments compiled during a series of Dairy Labeling Advisory Committee meetings, go to www.ohioagriculture.gov. Milk producers and market- . ing organizations can contact the Dairy Division at (614) 387-1094 or dairy@agri.ohio.gov. Beef producers meeting is Feb. 18 New member RIO GRANDE - Ohio Cattlemen's Associatidn (OCA) in partnership with the OCA Allied Industry Council is holding a meeting for beef producers on Monday, Feb. 18 at Bob Evans Farms Hall on the campus of the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College. All cattle producers are invited and encouraged to attend, as well as others with beef industry interest. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. with a complimentary dinner. Meeting attendees will hear from OCA and OSU Extension Beef Program Specialist Bill Doig. He will share information on the four stages of cow production. · The presentation will discuss cow ·nutritional needs in each stage of production and how they relate to calf health at calving time. New information on mineral programs will also be pre- sented. Following this summer's drought, many producers are struggling to meet the nutritional needs of their cows and are concerned with insuring their calves are as healthy as possible and that their cows rebreed on ttme. · Cattlemen will also have the·opportunity to share their opinions on the many issues that OCA is addressing on behalf of the beef industry. There will also be an opportunity for producers to visit with Allied Industry Council members. The Ohio Cattlemen's Association is an affiliate of the National Cattlemen's Beef .Association and is the state's spokesperson and issues manager for all segments of the beef cattle industry including cattle breeders, producers and feeders.

Submitted photo ODA releases new rule on dairy labeling REYNOLDSBURG Ohio Department of Agriculture has implemented a new rule on dairy labeling regarding recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbSl), a supplement used for milk production. The rule provides guidelines for the language that is permitted on labels and establishes a verification process for marketing organizations and labeling entities. "After months of input from consumers and industry stakeholders this rule was developed to give guidance to the dairy .industry to prevent mislabeled products," _ Ohio Agriculture Director Robert Boggs said. "Our number one goa) is to provide consumers with safe and healthy foods, and to offer clear and consistent information about the food . consumers purchase. Ohio's dairy labels will offer consumers information about how their food is produced." The department will !\pprove labels if a claim that the milk is derived "from cows not supplemented with rbST" is verifiable. The claim must also include a contiguous, identically formatted U.S. Food and Drus Administration (FDA) dtsclaimer stating, "no significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rbSTsupplemented and nonrbST-supplemented cows." Since there is no test to detect rbST in inilk, the rule places the burden of verification on the marketing organization or labeling entity, which must be able to prove production claims are accurate through proper documentation. ·For instance, producer-signed affidavits, farm weight tickets, and processing plant audit trails are among some of the supporting documents that must be readily available for ODA inspection. "We expect marketing organizations and labeling entities t<i have verification systems in place to ensure consumers are receiving what is printed on the label," Boggs said. Gov. Ted Strickland signed an executive order issuing an emergency rule ·prohibiting the mislabeling of dairy products· and defming ·what constitutes false and misleading labels for dairy products. The emergency rule, effective immediately, establishes acceptable, more consistent labelins practices for dairy markehng organizations and labeling entities pertaining to rbST. The emergency rule provides guidance to the dairy industry and helps interpret the extsting law contained in Ohio Revised Code 917.05 and 3715.60. These laws authorize ODA to take enforcement action if a dairy label contains false or misleading statements. The emergency rule is in effect for 90 days while · ODA completes the statutory rule-making process t.hrough the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review. As part of the process, a formal public hearing will be held · to give stakeholders an opportunity to comment on the proposed rule. For more information on the executive · order and emergency rule or for pub· lie comments compiled during a series of Dairy Labeling Advisory Committee meetings, go to www.ohioagriculture.gov. Milk producers and market- . ing organizations can contact the Dairy Division at (614) 387-1094 or dairy@agri.ohio.gov. Beef producers meeting is Feb. 18 New member RIO GRANDE - Ohio Cattlemen's Associatidn (OCA) in partnership with the OCA Allied Industry Council is holding a meeting for beef producers on Monday, Feb. 18 at Bob Evans Farms Hall on the campus of the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College. All cattle producers are invited and encouraged to attend, as well as others with beef industry interest. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. with a complimentary dinner. Meeting attendees will hear from OCA and OSU Extension Beef Program Specialist Bill Doig. He will share information on the four stages of cow production. · The presentation will discuss cow ·nutritional needs in each stage of production and how they relate to calf health at calving time. New information on mineral programs will also be pre- sented. Following this summer's drought, many producers are struggling to meet the nutritional needs of their cows and are concerned with insuring their calves are as healthy as possible and that their cows rebreed on ttme. · Cattlemen will also have the·opportunity to share their opinions on the many issues that OCA is addressing on behalf of the beef industry. There will also be an opportunity for producers to visit with Allied Industry Council members. The Ohio Cattlemen's Association is an affiliate of the National Cattlemen's Beef .Association and is the state's spokesperson and issues manager for all segments of the beef cattle industry including cattle breeders, producers and feeders.
