This inclement weather -and flooding have affected the project since November when a temporary coffer- _ dam dam was inundated with water and caused work to come to a standstill . . Back in January, ODNR had expected contractor Alan . Stone Company of Cutler to r~turn to work but mother nature had other plans and no work has been done. . Smithhisler said he doesn't anticipate any work to be done until the weather breaks or the ' water goes down . As of now the $2.3.plus million facility has a May completion date though ODNR has the option to extend that date. However, some progress has been made on the project with the parking lot basically laid out, anticipating the stone and asphalt.

'The pi lots were able to very quickly pick it up." recalled Martin, who has since retired from the Air Force. "What didn' t happen · was additional questions from the pilots asking me my location," enabling the pilots to more quickly distinguish his position from that of the enemy. . The new technology called Target Recognition Operator Notification system - was designed to easily identify friendly forces and avoid casualties from friendly fire. Martin liked the equipment so much he used it on about 35 missions over six months. He said it is better than strobe lights, which can be mistaken for machine-gun fire, or reflective tape, which is difficult to see from the air.

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - The Campbell Soup Co.'s kid-oriented soups, which feature characters such as Dora the Explorer and Batman on the cans, .are getting their second sodium reduction in three years, the company announced Monday. This time, the 12 soups for kids will have 480 milligrams per serving, which means the company can legally label them as healthy foods for the first time. , "Your kids can enjoy Dora the Explorer even more," said Douglas· R. Conant, Campbell's president and chief executive, said in an interview. 'They'll be down to hearthealthy levels." For Camden-based Campbell's, big~ sodium levels have been a big health concern for dec. Jes for products that are otherwise generally healthy. Two years ago, the company began_using sea saltwhere it comes from is kept secret - to reduce sodium in a number of its products. The sea·salt is beirig used in a growing number of soups, as well as SpaghettiO's pasta. The company has also reduced sodium in V8 vegetable juice. As more people become health conscious. lower-salt soups have become a big business for the world's largest· soupmaker. In 2003, it sold $100 million worth of reduced-sodium soups. Now, Campbell's says, the lower-salt soups are brin~­ ing in $650 million a year m retail sales. Initially, sodium levels in the kids' soups were brought down an average of 25 percent, This year, they 'II be brought down another 20 percent. The company also announced Monday that it is reformulating 36 ready-toserve soups and giving them ·a . new brand name: "Campbell's Select Harvest." All the soups sold in cans · and microwavable bowls currently labeled "Campbell's Select" ·will be called "Campbell's Select Harvest." The more upscale soups sold in boxes under that label will not be part of the new line. While they will be lower in sodium, the "Campbell's Select Harvest" soups cannot be labeled as healthy because .they will not meet other federal gQverriment criteria for areas such as fat and cholesterol. In ali, 48 Campbell's soups are getting makeovers this year, bring to 85 the total number soup varieties that have had their sodium reduced since 2006. · Some of the soups being reformulated this year will ship as·early as June. All of them are to be widely available by fall, Conant said. The Daily Sentinel . SubsCribe t~ ~ 992-21!?5. • www.mydall~ntinel.com l< ·;(.J' :i>' '~ ••Ei!_, l·,~ . <,' · . '!

Andrew Martin called in air support and then slapped a high-tech cloth-like device on his helmet for protection. Fresh from labs at WrightPatterson Air Force Base, !he device transmitted light from a -powerful light-emitting diode, or LED. that pulsed through a fiberoptic bundle, giving off infrared signals ·visible to pilots wearing night-vision goggles. 'The pi lots were able to very quickly pick it up." recalled Martin, who has since retired from the Air Force. "What didn' t happen · was additional questions from the pilots asking me my location," enabling the pilots to more quickly distinguish his position from that of the enemy. . The new technology called Target Recognition Operator Notification system - was designed to easily identify friendly forces and avoid casualties from friendly fire. Martin liked the equipment so much he used it on about 35 missions over six months. He said it is better than strobe lights, which can be mistaken for machine-gun fire, or reflective tape, which is difficult to see from the air. "U.S. forces have been dogged by the difficulty of finding each other in the fog of battle," said Loren "A lot of different units Thompson; a defense analyst with the Lexington Institute saw the need for something in Arlington, Va.

Brian Hunt holds up a TRQN device, (Target Recognition Operator · Notification), a fiber optic panel that can be seen with night vision at WrightPatterson Air Force Base in Dayton on Jan. 29. The device is designed to easily identify friendly forces and avoid casualties from friendly fire. AP photo "You can put it anywhere," Hunt said. "It's got Velcro on the back. It sticks to everything." The circuitry also allows the system to nash at different speeds. That enables pilots ·to identify different groups of friendly forces and see which group is under attack, which group is trying to circle the enemy, who the reinforcements are, among o.ther things. Mike Sedillo, support contractor a\ the research lab, said he would like to see the system in the hands of all U.S. forces in the battlefield and · become stan- dard equipment in air-crew survival kits. Sedillo said researchers are working to upgrade the system so it will transmit light in other parts of ·the spectrum, making it more difficult for enemy forces to detect wiih conventional night vision technology. MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - The Campbell Soup Co.'s kid-oriented soups, which feature characters such as Dora the Explorer and Batman on the cans, .are getting their second sodium reduction in three years, the company announced Monday. This time, the 12 soups for kids will have 480 milligrams per serving, which means the company can legally label them as healthy foods for the first time. , "Your kids can enjoy Dora the Explorer even more," said Douglas· R. Conant, Campbell's president and chief executive, said in an interview. 'They'll be down to hearthealthy levels." For Camden-based Campbell's, big~ sodium levels have been a big health concern for dec. Jes for products that are otherwise generally healthy. Two years ago, the company began_using sea saltwhere it comes from is kept secret - to reduce sodium in a number of its products. The sea·salt is beirig used in a growing number of soups, as well as SpaghettiO's pasta. The company has also reduced sodium in V8 vegetable juice. As more people become health conscious. lower-salt soups have become a big business for the world's largest· soupmaker. In 2003, it sold $100 million worth of reduced-sodium soups. Now, Campbell's says, the lower-salt soups are brin~­ ing in $650 million a year m retail sales. Initially, sodium levels in the kids' soups were brought down an average of 25 percent, This year, they 'II be brought down another 20 percent. The company also announced Monday that it is reformulating 36 ready-toserve soups and giving them ·a . new brand name: "Campbell's Select Harvest." All the soups sold in cans · and microwavable bowls currently labeled "Campbell's Select" ·will be called "Campbell's Select Harvest." The more upscale soups sold in boxes under that label will not be part of the new line. While they will be lower in sodium, the "Campbell's Select Harvest" soups cannot be labeled as healthy because .they will not meet other federal gQverriment criteria for areas such as fat and cholesterol. In ali, 48 Campbell's soups are getting makeovers this year, bring to 85 the total number soup varieties that have had their sodium reduced since 2006. · Some of the soups being reformulated this year will ship as·early as June. All of them are to be widely available by fall, Conant said. The Daily Sentinel . SubsCribe t~ ~ 992-21!?5. • www.mydall~ntinel.com l< ·;(.J' :i>' '~ ••Ei!_, l·,~ . <,' · . '!

I feel bad that I'm weirded out by John, but I can't help it. Can you please give me some advice'7- A.R. Dear A.R.: It might help if you un'derstand that John's illness prevents him from controlling some of this behavior. He likes you. He thinks you ' re pretty. He'd like you to call him .. He doesn't understand that being so dim:t is disconcerting. Ask your boss to talk to him and explain that staring and saying "wow" is not an acceptable way to behave around girls. He can help teach John more appropriate ways to conduct hjmself.

Families are asked to remove anything they want to keep from family members' graves during that period of time. CLEVELAND tAP)- Ohio's program for foreign -born medical school graduates is not ea;.,ing the ;,tate's shortage of primary care doctors, the Cleveland Plain De~ler reported Monday. Foreign-born doctors across the United States can apply for a visa waiver if they agree lo p'ractice in an underserved community for three years. Thousands of doctors sign up each year and the programs have become a major source of medical service for rural and poor communities. More than half of the doctors who joined Ohio's program in the past two years are working as specialists at major hospitals and are not primary care doctors, the paper found. "We have such a hard time finding doctors. Why are multimillion-dollar hospital organizations using this?" said · Joe Liszak, chief executive of Fremont-based Community Health Services, a federally qualified health · center in Sandusky County. "That's • just , not right. This program was designed for the underserved." About half of Ohio's counties qualify for the program. including u"rban counties like Cuyahoga, Franklin and Hamilton. Foreign-born doctors prefer big cities over rural areas, where wages are often lower. Thirteen of the program's 98 doctors are practicing at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Cleveland Clinic.

By now, their contents have appeared in the press, but the attorney general of the United States shows no signs of being ashamed. Under prodding by Durbin. Mukasey says that he will review those Brndbury opinions. Will his conclusions be classified, or will he let us know whether he still believes Bradbury brings credit to the Justice Department? But watch out. This crafty attorney general has already indicated what he might do if those opinions shock his conscience. He told Durbin: "I think, though. that those opinions would be _considered principally in light of whether they relate to things that are current. They're not, but I will review them." So, we have to trust the Bush administration, including the attorney general, if they say watcrboarding, for instance, is no longer current and not relevant anymore- and keep renominating Brndley.

Hearing and watching Mukasey that day - and now reading the transcript I believe that this . man in charge of the Justice Department, our chief law enforcement officer, is continuing the cover-up. Leahy added that the president and his administration ... "decided that ... ihey can unilatemlly decide what parts of what laws they are going to follow." They haven't changed their contempt of the ' Constitution's separation of powers. Mukasey fits right into that team.

Families are asked to remove anything they want to keep from family members' graves during that period of time. CLEVELAND tAP)- Ohio's program for foreign -born medical school graduates is not ea;.,ing the ;,tate's shortage of primary care doctors, the Cleveland Plain De~ler reported Monday. Foreign-born doctors across the United States can apply for a visa waiver if they agree lo p'ractice in an underserved community for three years. Thousands of doctors sign up each year and the programs have become a major source of medical service for rural and poor communities. More than half of the doctors who joined Ohio's program in the past two years are working as specialists at major hospitals and are not primary care doctors, the paper found. "We have such a hard time finding doctors. Why are multimillion-dollar hospital organizations using this?" said · Joe Liszak, chief executive of Fremont-based Community Health Services, a federally qualified health · center in Sandusky County. "That's • just , not right. This program was designed for the underserved." About half of Ohio's counties qualify for the program. including u"rban counties like Cuyahoga, Franklin and Hamilton. Foreign-born doctors prefer big cities over rural areas, where wages are often lower. Thirteen of the program's 98 doctors are practicing at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Cleveland Clinic.

By now, their contents have appeared in the press, but the attorney general of the United States shows no signs of being ashamed. Under prodding by Durbin. Mukasey says that he will review those Brndbury opinions. Will his conclusions be classified, or will he let us know whether he still believes Bradbury brings credit to the Justice Department? But watch out. This crafty attorney general has already indicated what he might do if those opinions shock his conscience. He told Durbin: "I think, though. that those opinions would be _considered principally in light of whether they relate to things that are current. They're not, but I will review them." So, we have to trust the Bush administration, including the attorney general, if they say watcrboarding, for instance, is no longer current and not relevant anymore- and keep renominating Brndley.

Hearing and watching Mukasey that day - and now reading the transcript I believe that this . man in charge of the Justice Department, our chief law enforcement officer, is continuing the cover-up. Leahy added that the president and his administration ... "decided that ... ihey can unilatemlly decide what parts of what laws they are going to follow." They haven't changed their contempt of the ' Constitution's separation of powers. Mukasey fits right into that team.

BY BRYAN WALTIRI 8WALTERS41MYOAILYTRIBUNE.COM THE PLAINS - After a two-year hiatus from the district tournament, a familiar face is coming back to the party at Ohio University. The Eastern boys basketball program will be making its seventh .trip to the Convocation Center over the last decade following Monday night's 55· 53 victory over fourth -seeded Symmes Valley in a Division IV sectional final held at Athens High School.

"I had it on my mind, but we (coaches) made no mention of it to the kids. We just tried to keep them focused this week and came into the game with the idea we have to take them one game at a time; and that this was just another game." Trimble drew first blood when Issac Standley hit the first of three first-half threepointers at the 7:45 mark. The early play was ugly, very l!gly. But clubs made three consecutive turnovers apiece, followed by three consecutive misses that pummeled the rim with deep thuds. Finally, nearly four minutes into the game, Bryan Harris tied the score at 3-3 at the 4:35 mark. A minute later John Brauer powered in a followup · lay-up for Southern's first lead at 5-3. Standley had a twisting lay-in mom·ents later to tie the score, then Southern, powered by a Harris lay-in and a Chapman coast to coast drive went up 9-5. A Kreig Kleski three pointer with 3.1 seconds left on the first qual"!er clock gave SHS some momentum and a 12-5 advantage. Trimble's Walton and Eagles from Page 81 coach Howie Caldwell could only speak great things about all ·the hard work that his troops have put in this season to reach this point. He also noted that hard work usually pays off in the end, especially if the right kind of motivation is there. ''!' m very pleased for our players in the fact that they spent an awful lot of time working on their games this summer. They've bought into what we've been teaching about when tournament iime gets here, everybody ·starts 0-0. It doesn't matter what your .record is goin~ into the tournament,' Caldwell commented. "The kids played really well leading into the stretch run of the regular season and carried that over .into tonight. They knew they had a chance to add another banner to the wall at Eastern, and I think that is what they were playing for." It also took all 32 minutes for that latest accomplishment to come to fruition, as the Eagles battled most .of the evening to overcome some early miscues. Eastern jumped out to a 72 lead over the opening 3: 18 of the contest and were up 14-8 with 2:25 left in the first quarter, but the Vikings closed out the opening frame on an 8-0 run to take ' Eric Randolph/photo Southern senior Ryan Chapman (34) goes up for a shot during the first half of a Division IV sectional final game against Trimble at Athens High School in The Plains.

"I had it on my mind, but we (coaches) made no mention of it to the kids. We just tried to keep them focused this week and came into the game with the idea we have to take them one game at a time; and that this was just another game." Trimble drew first blood when Issac Standley hit the first of three first-half threepointers at the 7:45 mark. The early play was ugly, very l!gly. But clubs made three consecutive turnovers apiece, followed by three consecutive misses that pummeled the rim with deep thuds. Finally, nearly four minutes into the game, Bryan Harris tied the score at 3-3 at the 4:35 mark. A minute later John Brauer powered in a followup · lay-up for Southern's first lead at 5-3. Standley had a twisting lay-in mom·ents later to tie the score, then Southern, powered by a Harris lay-in and a Chapman coast to coast drive went up 9-5. A Kreig Kleski three pointer with 3.1 seconds left on the first qual"!er clock gave SHS some momentum and a 12-5 advantage. Trimble's Walton and Eagles from Page 81 coach Howie Caldwell could only speak great things about all ·the hard work that his troops have put in this season to reach this point. He also noted that hard work usually pays off in the end, especially if the right kind of motivation is there. ''!' m very pleased for our players in the fact that they spent an awful lot of time working on their games this summer. They've bought into what we've been teaching about when tournament iime gets here, everybody ·starts 0-0. It doesn't matter what your .record is goin~ into the tournament,' Caldwell commented. "The kids played really well leading into the stretch run of the regular season and carried that over .into tonight. They knew they had a chance to add another banner to the wall at Eastern, and I think that is what they were playing for." It also took all 32 minutes for that latest accomplishment to come to fruition, as the Eagles battled most .of the evening to overcome some early miscues. Eastern jumped out to a 72 lead over the opening 3: 18 of the contest and were up 14-8 with 2:25 left in the first quarter, but the Vikings closed out the opening frame on an 8-0 run to take ' Eric Randolph/photo Southern senior Ryan Chapman (34) goes up for a shot during the first half of a Division IV sectional final game against Trimble at Athens High School in The Plains.

Southern stole the ball several times on the press, but then unleashed a string of three · straight Tornado turnovers. Trimble took advantage of the miscues and outscored Southern 12-3 in the 'latter a 16-14 edge after eight minutes of play. ' The guests responded with a 6-2 run over the opening two minutes of the second canto· for a 20-18 lead, then went scoreless over the next 3:29 as SVHS opened up a 25-20 lead with 2:52 remaining until halftime. EHS pulled to within a point (28-27) with less than a minute left in first half, but Kris Tibbs canned a short jumper with 31 ticks left to give the hosts a 30-27 advantage headed into the intermission. Symmes Valley never trailed in the third quarter .and led by as many as seven (36-29) midway through that frame, but Eastern closed the final 3:01 of the third on an 11-4· surge including a three-point buzzer-beater from Lynch - to tie things at 40 headed into the finale. The Eagles rode that momentum early iri the fourth, outscoring the hosts 8-3 over the opemng 5:25 of the fourth for a 48-43 edge with 2:35 remaining. Symmes Valley battled back with five straight markers to ~ie things with I : 12 showing m regulatton. Lynch, who scored the final seven points for Eastern, hit his fifth and final trifecta with 53 seconds left to give Eastern a 51-48 advantage. The · Ea!lles would never trail agam. Tibbs made a layup on an offensive rebound to pull portion of t,he frame .. Standley led the Tnmble charge with two three pointers and a deuce. The Tornadoes last score of the half was a follow-up putb'ack by big man John Brauer at the 2:55 mark. Feeling the crunch of an aggressi-ve Trimble defense, Southern was held scoreless the rest of the way.

Symmes Valley took its next possession and missed its shot, and Kelly Winebrenner came up with the rebound for Eastern and '· was then fouled with II seconds left. Winebrenner missed the front-end of his O!le-and-bonus opportunity, then SVHS went down and found Powell for his successful game-tying trifecta with a half-dozen seconds left - setting up the climactic ending.

No.·20 Ohio State downs Purdue ~'You can't let her .knock down the threes. She didn't do that (at Purdue)," Boilermakers coach Sharon Versyp said. "It was a tale of two games." Janie! Lavender added 13 points while Tamarah Riley had 12 and Ashlee Trebilcock and Shavelle Little had II each. "We were more aggressive, especial"ly in the second half," Foster said. "We had a · lot more intensity and we took a lot of pride in our defense." FahKara Malone scored 17 for Purdue. Seven came in the final three minutes after she had been held scoreless for 28 minutes. Samantha Woods scored 13 points off the bench and Danielle Campbell and Lakisha Freeman had l 0 apiece. Versyp thought the schedule was a factor in the defeat. Ohio State had not played since beating Wisconsin on Feb. I0. In the interim, Purdue had lost to Michigan State on Feb. II and beat Iowa three days later. "That was a huge edge," she said of Ohio State's layoff. "Eight days, and you're at home. It helps ." Foster downplayed any physical advantage. "When I was 20 I didn't get tired," he said. "I don't want to hear tired. I had a tea111 (once) that had six players, They didn't get tired." · Whether i.t was fatigue or the Ohio State defense, Purdue trailed 30-27 at the half. "The first half it really kicked us in the foot. The second half as not as bad," Versyp said. "Both teams shot 50 perceni but the difference was they got more offensive rebounds." · Ohio State held Purdue to just . four offensive rebounds Monday night ·after the Boilermakers had 15 in the 68-67 toss to Purdue on Feb. 7.' "We cleaned up on the box outs," Lavender said of (vlonday's game. "Everybody boxed out." In the last game against Purdue, Lavender had 30, Trebilcock 14 and no other Buckeyes player had more than seven. Packer, averaging 14.7 points, had three points. Ohio State went to the line 28 times Monday, making 13, while Purdue was 2-of-3. The Buckeyes were 1-of-5 at Purdue on Feb. 7 when the Boi-l ermakers were 7 -ofII.

He acknowledged he had considered not playing because of the ongoing situation. Pettitte plans to apologize to his teammates. He met with George Steinbrenner and the owner's sons, Hank and Hal, before facing repQrters. "I just wanted to .tell them face to face that I'm sorry and apologize to him, you know, for the · embarrassment that this 'has brought," Pettitte said. "He was a little stubborn in accepting my apology and said that he's behind me 100 percent, tried to tell me that . I haven't brought any embarrassment to the· organization. But I disagree with him a little on that." The 35-year--old lefty with 20 I regula~- season wins and four World Series championship rings said he did not feel as if his accomplishments were tainted. He said he used HGH only because he felt pressure to pitch while injured because of hi~ multimillion salary and doesn't consider himself a cheater because HGH wasn't banned until 2005. "I didn't do it to try to get an edge on anyone. I didn't do it to try to get stronger or fa.ster or throw harder," he said.

REED provide a reason for castin11 a ballot prior to Election Day, sucli as being outside the· county on Election Day, an illness or other reason that prevented them from visiting their neighborhood polling location. . Smith said the new "no-fault" pol1cy has not necessarily resulted in a ' larger number of absentee . voters, despite the flexibility and convenience the policy allows. She said most voters continue to visit the polls on Election Day unless circumstances prevent them from doing so. "Most of the voters who come into the office to vote or request ballots by mail generally have a reason to do so, such as being out of the state during the winter months," Smith said. "Most of thpse who voted at the polls continue to do so, even though the· law allows them to vote any time." In 2004, with 14,000 registered voters on the books, 399 voters cast absentee ballots in the March primary, and 5,755 voted on Election Day. That November, 1,305 absentee ballots ·were cast, and 10,813 ballots· - were cast on Election Day. In the 2006 gen~ral election, which includ- ed the governor's race, and no-fault absentee voting was permitted, 1,094 voters cast absentee ballots and 8,035 voted at the polls. Smith said the county now has 15,414 registered voters. The board's deadline for receiving applications for absentee ballots is March I. They must be received by the close of the polls at 7:30 p.m. on Election Day, March 4. Voters may also cast ballots at the board office during regular business hdurs on weekdays through that time period.
