PageD6 GARDENING . &unba, lim~ ·itntintl Some ergonomic tools aren't Here's how to conduct a 'feel test' before buying BY DEAN FOSDICK How to reduce stress and fatigue from gardening Bv DEAN FosDICK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Gardeners with painful disabilities needn't have· such a tough row to hoe. Nearly one in five U.S. adults - · some 46 million people - . has arthritis , according to the Centers for Disease Control and' Prevention. So it's not surprising that scores of ergonomic toolmakers target.this sizable group. Bruce Butterfield, research director for the National Gardening Association, said most gardeners are over 55, and "looking for garden tools that are easier to use and help prevent aches and pain." A great many garden tools are marketed with the word "ergonomic" in bold type on ihe labels, meaning they're intended to maximize the efficiency and quality of someone's work. But claims are one thing and performance is quite another, said Bob Denman, a blacksmith, tool designer and consultant from Boring, Ore. "Some garden tools are being· developed without a great deal of study," Denman sa:id. "The manufacturer builds in a bend here and incorporates · a twist there and calls it ergonomic. But then other tools are extremely well thought out." There are several factors to consider in choosing a . proper tool. First, it's tmportant to know that grip strength declines an average·· of 15 percent by a person's early 50s, said Jeffrey Hoyle, an ergonomist with The Ergonomics Center of North Carolina, a research and consulting arm of North Carolina State University. And while women are about two-thirds as strong as men in general, studies indicate that their grip strength is about half that of men. It might seem logical, AP plloto An assortment of gardening tools Is seen in this Jan . 14 photo In New Market, Va. Gearing, angles and bends, soft handles, thumb switches a'nd bypass levers are among the innovations designed into ergonomic garden tools. All are deslgned ,to ease fatigue and discomfort. then, to focus on the tool's grip. But it's weight and power that make a tool truly etgonom ic, said Olavi Linden, chief designer for Finland-based Fiskars Garden & Outdoor Living. "Handles are actually a very small part of the equation," Linden said. "More power is what ·helps yo)! avoid tendinitis. E11:tra-long, lightweight handles help prevent back pain." Gardeners shopping for the right kind of ergonomic tool can weed out a large amount of discomfort and expense by "feel testing" in stores before they buy. "''ve spent a lot of time watching people shopping for garden tools and most are bewildered," said Denman, who does new product consulting for Corona Clipper Inc., a tool manufacturer in Corona, Calif. He said most make choices based on cost, not quality or feel. "Most people just don't know how to buy ergonomically." Here are some suggestions from Corona Clipper: • Check for weight. Any tool that feels heavy may become tiring with hard and re~titive use. Conversely, any tool that feels too light may be too flimsy to last. Look for tools that feel sturdy while providing control and reducing effort. • Test for balance and sen. sitivity. Tools should dis. tribute their weight evenly or toward the working end, such as at the head of an ax or the peint of a shovel. • Study grip size. Find something soft and comfortable. Overlarge grips can tire muscles and strain .. . nerves in fingers and wrists over time. Non-slip grips generally are safer and help prevent blisters. . • Tools should be easy to maintain. Look for quality materials and practical, proven designs. Once you've golten the tools home, trust your the instincts, . said Ergonomic Center's Hoyle. Just taking breaks can make a big difference. "If it hurts, don't do it," he said. "If you are using a tool incorrectly, it is not ergonomic." On' the Net: Fat more about ergonomic garden tools, see this of lllinois University Extension Service Web site: http://web.extension.uiuc. edu/champaignlhomeowners/040320.html Gardening doe~n 't have to be a pain in the neck, back, knees or hips for the millions of Americans who suffer from arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis or other painful disabilities. · Here are some common sense suggestions for reduc- . ing stress and fatigue while continuing to enjoy the low impact exercise that comes from gardening: o Start by knowing your limitations. Rest frequently and pace yourself while occupied with extensive and repetitive garden chores. Gardening is. all about puttering. Take your time and enjoy it. o Keep gardens or flowerbeds small or sized in scale with your capabilities. Don't overdo or become overwhelmed by a too-optimistic workload. o Plant gardens ·near a water source or lay.out a system of hoses conveniently near the work sites. Store tools a nearby shed, cabinet or perhaps a large mailbOle Build trails wide enough for wheelchairs, wagons walkers to pass. Add handrails for balance and place benches at various peints for rest and reflection. o Wrap tool handles or stuff gloves with foam padding to make grasping more comfortable. Adding a cord to the grips makes them easier to retrieve if dropped and conveniently at hand when looped around your wrist or neck. · o Choose low-maintenance plants that don't need much . m the way of deadheading, watering, spraying or pruning. Vegetables trained to climb a trellis will eliminate the need for bending when harvesting. Lighten the spring planting routine by selecting perennials, which will bring many happy and unassisted returns. • Use equipment that makes everyday gardening chores easier on trauma- m ana tized soft tissues and joints. That · includes kneeling stools, long-handled "reach. er-grabbers," kneepads; P<;>tting benches, seed dtspensers and wagons. Wear a smock or tle on a carpenter's apron. Both ar~ equipped with numerou& pockets for seed packets; notepads and tools. Carry a magnifying glass with yoli to help read the fine print on planting stakes and seed labels. • Confine your gardening to raised beds or containers; which will minimize stoop· ing. Make the beds small enough so plants in the middle can be reached withou1 an awkward stretch. Place large containers on wheels so they can be shifted to wherever they're the most convenient. • Weed and cultivate after a rain when the soil is easier to work. • Use large sprink.lernhai cover wide areas and re9uire less moving around. Dnp irrigation or drizzler hoses are easy-care watet systems for thirsty plants. .: .• Carry a cell phone ,Of whistle while working alone in distant corners of the yard. Don't hesitate to u~ · them if you· run into a~ kind of trouble. Belter yet, garden with a buddy. You can share some ideas and keep one another company. • Minimize risk. If a cer" tain job places , you in an uncomfortable Jl<]Sition, like reaching, then figure out another approach or find a tool designed to serve . • Super-size your tool collection. If you know you'll need two hands to make a cut with a ·pruner, then upgrade and reach for a lop· per iristead. That still may require using both hands; but the squeezing effort will be minimal. · Recommended reading: "Accessible Gardening: Tips and Techniques for Seniors & the Disabled" by Woy.

They failed to weigh impacts on what we .consider to be a better source (of pollution control . technology) Integrated Combined Gasification Cycle." AMP-Ohio has 'chosen Powerspan as one means of pollution control and although AMP officials said · they did research IGCG as a pOSsibility, it ultimately felt it wasn't it good fit for the proposed plant. Dougherty also .said his group, , along with intervenor groups the Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club, believed the OPSB "dismissed llatly" the carbon dioxide issues. Carbon dioxide is considered to be a major source of global warming. AMP officials have said Powerspan can be used as a means for carbon dioxide emissions control when/if it is regulated by the state of Ohio. "Ohio can be a leader in emitting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses but certainly can't be a leaderin controlling those emissions," Dougherty added. · The OEC, NRDC, Sierra Club and National Parks Conservation Association filed an appeal on Thursday in regards to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's issuance of AMPOhio's air permit-to-install appro.ved in February. Dougherty said the intervenor groups plan to "definitely scrutinize" AMPOhio 's remaining permits concerning the plant which include permits on clean water and landfill among others.

Still, the company has received a blas.ting permit good for April 14 of this year until April 14, 2009. Blasting can occur within this time frame only after the permit has been approved and that has yet to be decided. Mike Mann of ODNR said normally what happens during the pre-blast survey is the consultant makes sketches and takes photographs of an exi sling structure. The consul tant also takes samples of.water from private wells or springs. All of this information is complied into a repert, a copy of which is to be given to the homeowner. Mann said ODN R generally frowns on the consul tant video taping the survey but there is notbing that says a hoineowner cannot videotape the con sultant while he/she is doing 1he inspection. Though a homeowner could ask and the consultant could oblige , , Mann said ODNR generally doesn't require a consultant ·to go into a space which is not "readily · accessible" such as a crawl space though t!Jat craw I space would be likely noteu on the . .

Mann sa1d indeed there is nothing · "etched in stone'' when it · comes to setting up times for the pre-blast survey and added hopefully both parties are available to work out a schedule.

Reversals Pre-election musings Dear Editor: ··At the close of the recent Lincoln Dinner, the emcee · remarked that, "We are the right people." If he spoke 10 terms of ideology, he .was definitely "right." The unpleasant fact is that the GOP is no longer the party of . Lincoln and hasn't be_en for years. With its support of free trade and other assorted policies it has adopted the Confederate theory of government. Henry C. Carey, the foremost economist of that era, declared that "Protection made Mr. Lincoln presi- dem."(Careypapers,Box78).Lincolns~odfurasov- I can't think of a point of historic comparison to the figurative bed we have made for ourselves in Iraq-· particularly now that our Iraqi allies have welcomed our Iranian enemies right into it. Maybe the way to understand international affairs is to tum not to history but to pulp fiction - namely, the old love triangle. The good guy (us, natch);• has been betrayed by the love object he supports and defends (Iraq), having been left to watch and stew as she gallivants with his rival (Iran). In real life, of course, Iran is responsible for many of our nearly 4,000 war dead in Iraq, many of our nearly 30,000 war-wounded in Iraq, along with murders, kidnappings and torture of Americans throughout the Middle East over the past quarter-century through its terrorist proxy Hezbollah. This all makes lninian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Baghdad a stinging Mesopotamian slap across the AmeriCan face. And don't forget that Iran's leader, the classic heavy in ·our plot, was quite possibly a participant in the 1979 Iranian seizure of the U.S. Ernbassy in Tehran and ensuing 444-day hostage crisis. As a potboiler, such Iriangle stuff works. As post-9/11 U.S. foreign policy, it's certifiably insane. We are living and dying for a ward-like "ally" who is happy to cozy up to our worst enemy. Weirdly enough; no one ereign nation of industrial might. Instead, as I pointed out way back when, his party has becoine the party of Jefferson• Davis, dominated by right-wing whites of the Deep South. · Many of these were former right-wing Democrats who brought along their anti-protectionist impulse and injected it into the GOP. In praxis, it has meant a full reversal of the .policies of Hamilton and Lincoln. Ideological passions are in a state of flux. Fervent ideologues have stated (though some have recanted) that they will .support the other party. There is no way Dwight Eisenhower would support today's GOP. Not a chance. His son endorsed Kerry. Limbaugh and the Coltergeist claimed they would support Hillary. I feel much the same way from my side of the political fence. l left the GOP several years ago because I could no longer abide the Right. 1- did this only to see Democrats . move rightward and become a "me too" party. If the Dems continue on this course, I hope the· GOP beats their brains out. If I have the Hobson's choice of being governed either by Republicans or Democrats who serve-up a version of Republican Lite, as Slick Willie · did, then I'll take the real McCoy. There has been much exciting talk of "change." Excluding gender and skin pigment, there will be (other than temporary minor tinkering), continuity of policy. Hillary and Obama are both free traders. McCain has I · declared that he is a "free trade.r through and through." As for wholesale economic change, you can bid farewell to that notion without a tear.

BY DAVE CARPENTER Cenainly, as Iraq becomes what Radio Free Europe analyst Kathleen Ridolfo described as "economically, if not politically subordinate to Iran,'' that becomes increasingly clear. More disturbing is w~y we think we're on the same side why we think there's a future for us in this and similar relationships. The fact is, this unsuitable menage isn't unique to Iraq. Desperately naive American courtships across the Middle East follow similar patterns of hypocrisy, deceit and danger. From Saudi Arabia to Egypt, artificial, if costly, American "alliances" are mocked and trashed by such countries' aid and abetment of jihad. Just this week, the Washington Times reported that oil-rich Qatar is massively underwriting Hamas. At the same time, Qatar which hosts a colossal prepositioning base for the U.S. military - is supposed to be a "moderate" Islamic ally of ours. What next - permanent U.S. military bases in a Shiite-Kurdish satellite .of Iran? I wonder whether we will ever walk out on these destructive relationships and recover our self-respect.

Jerusalem, drawing Palestinian condemnation just days before a visit by a U.S. general to monitor the . troubled peace process. Housing Minister Zeev Boim said the new housing would include 350 apartments in Givat Zeev, a West Bank settlement just outside of Jeru5ialem, and 750 homes ·in the Pisgat Zeev neighborhood of east Jerusalem. Speaki11g to Israel Radio, · Boim said the Givat Zeev ·construction initially began some eight years ago, but was suspended because ot . fighting with . the Palestinians. "When violence subsided, . demand grew again and contractors renewed their per. mits to build there," he said. The Pisgat Zeev construction, he added, "is inside Jerusalem's city borders." Israel captured the West Bank and east Jewsalem in · the 1967 Mideast war. It immediately annexed east Jerusalem and ·considers all . of the city its capital. The . annexation has not been recognized internationally. The Palestinians claim all of the West Bank and east Jerusalem as parts of a future independent state. But Israel has said it wants to keep large Settlement blocs, along with Jewish neighborhoods of east Jerusalem, under any_ final peace agreement. The Givat Zeev construelion "is consistent with our long-standing position that building within the large settlement blocs, which will stay a part of Israel in any , final status agreement, will continue," said government spokesman Mark Regev said. Constniction outside the ·settlement blocs has been frozen he added. Pale~tinian negotiator Saeb Erekat harshly condemned the new Israeli construction plans, saying it undermines already troubled peace efforts. "Why do they insist on doing this and humiliating Abu Mazen in front of the Palestinian public?" he said; using the nickname. .of Palestinian Prestdent Mahmoud Abbas. ·Erekat said he had appealed.to the U.S. to pressure Israel to halt the projects. Palestinian attacks on Israel and Israeli retaliatory strikes, along with continued Israeli settlement construetion, have upset U.S.-backed peace talks. The talks, resumed in November after a seven-year breakdown, · rum to reach a final peace agreement by the end of the year.

Reversals Pre-election musings Dear Editor: ··At the close of the recent Lincoln Dinner, the emcee · remarked that, "We are the right people." If he spoke 10 terms of ideology, he .was definitely "right." The unpleasant fact is that the GOP is no longer the party of . Lincoln and hasn't be_en for years. With its support of free trade and other assorted policies it has adopted the Confederate theory of government. Henry C. Carey, the foremost economist of that era, declared that "Protection made Mr. Lincoln presi- dem."(Careypapers,Box78).Lincolns~odfurasov- I can't think of a point of historic comparison to the figurative bed we have made for ourselves in Iraq-· particularly now that our Iraqi allies have welcomed our Iranian enemies right into it. Maybe the way to understand international affairs is to tum not to history but to pulp fiction - namely, the old love triangle. The good guy (us, natch);• has been betrayed by the love object he supports and defends (Iraq), having been left to watch and stew as she gallivants with his rival (Iran). In real life, of course, Iran is responsible for many of our nearly 4,000 war dead in Iraq, many of our nearly 30,000 war-wounded in Iraq, along with murders, kidnappings and torture of Americans throughout the Middle East over the past quarter-century through its terrorist proxy Hezbollah. This all makes lninian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Baghdad a stinging Mesopotamian slap across the AmeriCan face. And don't forget that Iran's leader, the classic heavy in ·our plot, was quite possibly a participant in the 1979 Iranian seizure of the U.S. Ernbassy in Tehran and ensuing 444-day hostage crisis. As a potboiler, such Iriangle stuff works. As post-9/11 U.S. foreign policy, it's certifiably insane. We are living and dying for a ward-like "ally" who is happy to cozy up to our worst enemy. Weirdly enough; no one ereign nation of industrial might. Instead, as I pointed out way back when, his party has becoine the party of Jefferson• Davis, dominated by right-wing whites of the Deep South. · Many of these were former right-wing Democrats who brought along their anti-protectionist impulse and injected it into the GOP. In praxis, it has meant a full reversal of the .policies of Hamilton and Lincoln. Ideological passions are in a state of flux. Fervent ideologues have stated (though some have recanted) that they will .support the other party. There is no way Dwight Eisenhower would support today's GOP. Not a chance. His son endorsed Kerry. Limbaugh and the Coltergeist claimed they would support Hillary. I feel much the same way from my side of the political fence. l left the GOP several years ago because I could no longer abide the Right. 1- did this only to see Democrats . move rightward and become a "me too" party. If the Dems continue on this course, I hope the· GOP beats their brains out. If I have the Hobson's choice of being governed either by Republicans or Democrats who serve-up a version of Republican Lite, as Slick Willie · did, then I'll take the real McCoy. There has been much exciting talk of "change." Excluding gender and skin pigment, there will be (other than temporary minor tinkering), continuity of policy. Hillary and Obama are both free traders.

BY DAVE CARPENTER Cenainly, as Iraq becomes what Radio Free Europe analyst Kathleen Ridolfo described as "economically, if not politically subordinate to Iran,'' that becomes increasingly clear. More disturbing is w~y we think we're on the same side why we think there's a future for us in this and similar relationships. The fact is, this unsuitable menage isn't unique to Iraq. Desperately naive American courtships across the Middle East follow similar patterns of hypocrisy, deceit and danger. From Saudi Arabia to Egypt, artificial, if costly, American "alliances" are mocked and trashed by such countries' aid and abetment of jihad. Just this week, the Washington Times reported that oil-rich Qatar is massively underwriting Hamas. At the same time, Qatar which hosts a colossal prepositioning base for the U.S. military - is supposed to be a "moderate" Islamic ally of ours. What next - permanent U.S. military bases in a Shiite-Kurdish satellite .of Iran? I wonder whether we will ever walk out on these destructive relationships and recover our self-respect.

Jerusalem, drawing Palestinian condemnation just days before a visit by a U.S. general to monitor the . troubled peace process. Housing Minister Zeev Boim said the new housing would include 350 apartments in Givat Zeev, a West Bank settlement just outside of Jeru5ialem, and 750 homes ·in the Pisgat Zeev neighborhood of east Jerusalem. Speaki11g to Israel Radio, · Boim said the Givat Zeev ·construction initially began some eight years ago, but was suspended because ot . fighting with . the Palestinians. "When violence subsided, . demand grew again and contractors renewed their per. mits to build there," he said. The Pisgat Zeev construction, he added, "is inside Jerusalem's city borders." Israel captured the West Bank and east Jewsalem in · the 1967 Mideast war. It immediately annexed east Jerusalem and ·considers all . of the city its capital. The . annexation has not been recognized internationally. The Palestinians claim all of the West Bank and east Jerusalem as parts of a future independent state. But Israel has said it wants to keep large Settlement blocs, along with Jewish neighborhoods of east Jerusalem, under any_ final peace agreement. The Givat Zeev construelion "is consistent with our long-standing position that building within the large settlement blocs, which will stay a part of Israel in any , final status agreement, will continue," said government spokesman Mark Regev said. Constniction outside the ·settlement blocs has been frozen he added. Pale~tinian negotiator Saeb Erekat harshly condemned the new Israeli construction plans, saying it undermines already troubled peace efforts. "Why do they insist on doing this and humiliating Abu Mazen in front of the Palestinian public?" he said; using the nickname. .of Palestinian Prestdent Mahmoud Abbas. ·Erekat said he had appealed.to the U.S. to pressure Israel to halt the projects. Palestinian attacks on Israel and Israeli retaliatory strikes, along with continued Israeli settlement construetion, have upset U.S.-backed peace talks.

It didn't keep us from winning the race, but how we got to second, I don't know." Two-time reigning Cup champion Jimmie Johnson had another so-so day, coming back from a lap down twice to finish 13th, the last driver on the lead lap.

But it looked as if his team might have made a mistake by leaving_ the laps went on . and Edwards finally pitted on lap 275, his race over. That left Busch, who took over the series points lead from Edwards, on top, and that's where he stayed. "There's been a lot of stuff said, but I think this shows we have a fast car and they're going to have to deal wtth us every week," said Edwards.

"He's the best offensive player in the world. He got very hot ·at the .beginning of the third and when he's making 3-point shots like that he's virtually unstoppable."

But Granger fouled out at that point and the Pacers were short-handed the rest of the way. James went ·scoreless in the final period until there was 3:35 remaining. He then hit a 3-pointer from the right wing and assisted on a Varejao basket inside to push the lead back to 97-87.
