Fla .. Wednesday. It is the first night game to be played in the 85:year history of the nation's oldest spring training venue. Yankees beat· Pirates in first night game at McKechnie Field BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) - In the first night game at McKechnie Field, ByungHyun Kim gave up two late homers tp an old nemesis: the New York Yankees. The Pittsburgh Pirates' reliever was tagged for home runs by Nick Green and Chad Moeller in a fourrun eighth inning as· New York rallied.for a 12-9 victory Wednesday under new lights at the 85-year-old ballpark. Kim gave up three pivotal home runs to the Yankees while pitching for Arizona in the 2001 World Series, which the Diamondbacks won in seven games. This time, Green's homer came with a runner on and broke a 9-all tie. Moeller hit a solo shot. Kim was charged with four runs in . one inning while taking the loss. It }Vas the second time in less than . a week that Kim allowed two homers to the Yankees in an inning. Last Thurs,day in Tampa, Cody Ransom and Robinson Cano connected off the sidearmer. Kim, signed as a free agent ori Feb. 24, has allowed five home runs in four innings this spring. ; Jorge Posada went 3-for-4 with three RBis for the Yankees, including a two~ run homer off Morris. Bobby Abreu added two hits and two RBis. Nate McLouth, Ryarl Doumit and Chris Gomez homered for the Pirates. Pittsburgh second baseman Freddy Sanchez saw his first action in the field this spring as he played the first five innings. He had shoulder surgery last September. . "The shoulder felt OK, but it's not where it needs to be yet," Sanchez said. "The good thing is there was no pain ihere, not even any discomfort. It's just acase of it not feeling as strong .as it needs to be. The beauty of it is we still have time to get it right by ,opening day." · The frrst night game at McKechnie Field was originally scheduled for March .7 against Cincinnati but was rained out.

" BY DOUG STOCKTON I've heard it said that to determine what a person values, we need only look at his or her checkbook and calendar. Applying. this concept to my own checkbook and calendar is most revealing, During the last month, the checks my wife and I have written demonstrate a mixed bag of values and priorities in our lives. The checks include bill-paying, groceries, household supplies, quarterly taxes, medical bills, children's college expenses, a writer's conference registration fee, books, · and our regular c)mrch tithe. The first half of this li.st is mostly made up of necessary expenses; bills, groceries, household items. and taxes. All taxpaying Americans today have these in common. The second half of the list, however are those expenses we choose to pay or give toward. For instance, we could obviously lower our medical bills if we did not value our health and chose not to seek medical assistance. But, ·we do value our health. We could also choose to lower our costs for our ·children's college expenses. But, we do value our children's edu' cations. We also value our own continuing growth and education, which is why we inv~st money in books and seminars. Most importantly, we value our church and its ministries, which is why we choose to tithe on a regular basis. Looking over my calendar during the last month ·reveals many of the same values and priorities. · Scheduled ev·ents inClude a Church Leadership Training Retreat, numerous .church meetings, bible studies, worship services, pastoral calls, Writer's Guild meetings, volunteer work and mission projects, lunch with an old l'riend, as well as Date Nights with my wife and family get-together' s with our grown children am! grandchildren. In addition to the values revealed above through my check book, my calendar reveals that I also value my relationships with my wife, family, and friends. · Without a doubt, these values · all flow from my belief in God as revealed in His son, Jesus Christ. My relationship with Christ is the reason I do the things I do. It is the reason why I have been called into ministry Because Christ values people, relationships, the church, mis.sion .and service, so likewise I do also. For me, people are . always . more important than things like politics, policies, and preferences. . . In fact, it is this very value of eutting people ahead of things that required me to stand up to my own church board four years ago in a previous church I pastored. We had started a new contemporary worship ser· vice that was att~acting dozens of unchurched young families from the surrounding neighborhood. Unfortunately, most of . these young people were a little rough around the edges. Some of the young men who were beginning to attend often wore ball caps to church, much like the,y did everywhere else they went. Some of my older members took offense with this and spoke harshly to those wearing ·the caps. After losing some of the new attenders due to hurt feelings, the church board began discussi,ng the idea of a church "dress code," in order to exclude the others who were still wearing caps and dressing "too informally." I knew it would cost me the support of some of my biggest givers, but I went ahead and successfully argued against the "dress code" in order to keep from driving away people who were precious souls in the sight of God. This stance eventually cost me my position as pastor at that church. Because I love God and I love people, this was truly a very small price to pay to stand up for beliefs and values that I will always cherish. (The Rev. Doug Stockton is pastor of ·Graef!

" BY DOUG STOCKTON I've heard it said that to determine what a person values, we need only look at his or her checkbook and calendar. Applying. this concept to my own checkbook and calendar is most revealing, During the last month, the checks my wife and I have written demonstrate a mixed bag of values and priorities in our lives. The checks include bill-paying, groceries, household supplies, quarterly taxes, medical bills, children's college expenses, a writer's conference registration fee, books, · and our regular c)mrch tithe. The first half of this li.st is mostly made up of necessary expenses; bills, groceries, household items. and taxes. All taxpaying Americans today have these in common. The second half of the list, however are those expenses we choose to pay or give toward. For instance, we could obviously lower our medical bills if we did not value our health and chose not to seek medical assistance. But, ·we do value our health. We could also choose to lower our costs for our ·children's college expenses. But, we do value our children's edu' cations. We also value our own continuing growth and education, which is why we inv~st money in books and seminars. Most importantly, we value our church and its ministries, which is why we choose to tithe on a regular basis. Looking over my calendar during the last month ·reveals many of the same values and priorities. · Scheduled ev·ents inClude a Church Leadership Training Retreat, numerous .church meetings, bible studies, worship services, pastoral calls, Writer's Guild meetings, volunteer work and mission projects, lunch with an old l'riend, as well as Date Nights with my wife and family get-together' s with our grown children am! grandchildren. In addition to the values revealed above through my check book, my calendar reveals that I also value my relationships with my wife, family, and friends. · Without a doubt, these values · all flow from my belief in God as revealed in His son, Jesus Christ. My relationship with Christ is the reason I do the things I do. It is the reason why I have been called into ministry Because Christ values people, relationships, the church, mis.sion .and service, so likewise I do also. For me, people are . always . more important than things like politics, policies, and preferences. . . In fact, it is this very value of eutting people ahead of things that required me to stand up to my own church board four years ago in a previous church I pastored. We had started a new contemporary worship ser· vice that was att~acting dozens of unchurched young families from the surrounding neighborhood. Unfortunately, most of . these young people were a little rough around the edges. Some of the young men who were beginning to attend often wore ball caps to church, much like the,y did everywhere else they went. Some of my older members took offense with this and spoke harshly to those wearing ·the caps. After losing some of the new attenders due to hurt feelings, the church board began discussi,ng the idea of a church "dress code," in order to exclude the others who were still wearing caps and dressing "too informally." I knew it would cost me the support of some of my biggest givers, but I went ahead and successfully argued against the "dress code" in order to keep from driving away people who were precious souls in the sight of God. This stance eventually cost me my position as pastor at that church. Because I love God and I love people, this was truly a very small price to pay to stand up for beliefs and values that I will always cherish. (The Rev. Doug Stockton is pastor of ·Graef! United Methodist Church in .Gallipolis.) Now Jesus has already died Has been buried in a tomb. Borrowed from a friend As in .the Inn, there was no room. But my friend, this is not the end.

And then He rose again, demonstrating for all who place their faith in Him that He alone holds the keys to death and life. This is the story God told and is still telling today. "Let us fix. our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith, .Who for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the ' throne of God" (Hebrews 12:2.NIV). Now consider how that we ourselves are in the ongoing saga of God's story, having been placed in settings that are necessary for us each to b& the unique creation God intends us. Our afflictions, our burdens, our handicaps can each somehow contribute to an effect in and through us that could not be realized 'ex.cept that we endure and persevere through faith in Christ. You are a part of God's story of love. What tale will now be told in your part of this cosmic drama that is still unfolding? Are you a protagonist, embracing God's will for your life, becoming all that God desires as He transforms you through His Word, prayer, and fellowship with other Christians? Are you contributing your unique gifts and lettin~ God harvest through your life the ktnd of fruit that endures? "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew He also . predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He mi'ght be the firstborn among many brothers. And those . He predestined, He also called; those He called; He also jus-· tified; those He justified, He also glorified" (Romans 8:28-31 NIV). Consider well your setting, the circumstances surrounding your life and prayerfully ask the Lord how He wants you to · respond. · Let His working in your life transform you into the protagonist, the Christ-like hero that your family, your church, and your community need. Make room in your heart for . His Holy Spirit to pour out love, grace, for~tveness, courage, vision, hope. and JOY in you and through you. The world needs heroes today. Be one who answers God's call!

And then He rose again, demonstrating for all who place their faith in Him that He alone holds the keys to death and life. This is the story God told and is still telling today. "Let us fix. our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith, .Who for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the ' throne of God" (Hebrews 12:2.NIV). Now consider how that we ourselves are in the ongoing saga of God's story, having been placed in settings that are necessary for us each to b& the unique creation God intends us. Our afflictions, our burdens, our handicaps can each somehow contribute to an effect in and through us that could not be realized 'ex.cept that we endure and persevere through faith in Christ. You are a part of God's story of love. What tale will now be told in your part of this cosmic drama that is still unfolding? Are you a protagonist, embracing God's will for your life, becoming all that God desires as He transforms you through His Word, prayer, and fellowship with other Christians? Are you contributing your unique gifts and lettin~ God harvest through your life the ktnd of fruit that endures? "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew He also . predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He mi'ght be the firstborn among many brothers. And those . He predestined, He also called; those He called; He also jus-· tified; those He justified, He also glorified" (Romans 8:28-31 NIV). Consider well your setting, the circumstances surrounding your life and prayerfully ask the Lord how He wants you to · respond. · Let His working in your life transform you into the protagonist, the Christ-like hero that your family, your church, and your community need. Make room in your heart for . His Holy Spirit to pour out love, grace, for~tveness, courage, vision, hope. and JOY in you and through you. The world needs heroes today. Be one who answers God's call!

The free blood pressure screening will be open to the public from 9 a.m. until noon in the hospital's patient entrance lobby. The cholesterol and glucose screening, which will be offered for a $5 fee, will be available at the same location by appointment only from 9 a.m. until noon. To make · an appomtment, call O'Bleness' Community Relations office at (740) 566-4814. Please call as soon as possible because appointments are limited.

Led by Derrick Brown's 19 points and II rebounds, and super-sub Josh Duncan's 20 points, No. 3seeded Xavier erased a double-digit deficit against fading Georgia to win 73-61 Thursday in a: first-round West Re!lional game. Georgta's players, who made a remarkable run to the Southeastern Conference tournament title by winning three ~ames in about 30 hours, msisted they weren't exhausted. Indeed, they put more of the blame on a significant discrepancy in free throws: Xavier went 27-for- 33 from the line, while Georgia was 3-for-5. But, as Xavier point guard Drew Lavender put it: "Fati~ue finally caught them.' The Musketeers (28-6) trailed by II in the second half but conjured up a 22-6 run to come back and tie the school record for victories in a season. "You can't help but think it was to our advantage; what they just went through," Xavier coach Sean Miller said. "The longer the game went on, the more we were able to·. wear them down. And I think we all know part of that reason was the energy they had to use this past weekend. In the end, Georgia ( 1717) simply could not sustain the energy and effort it sum- mooed durin'g last week's remarkable run to the SEC The tournament title. Bulldogs were 13-16 before the conference tourney, yet somehow won four games in as many days - including two in a single day! - to save coach Dennis Felton's job and extend their season. As Xavier turned up its defensive intensity down the stretch, Georgia's do-everything guard Sundiata Gaines acknowledged, "I kind of felt our offense got stagnant. We weren't moving and executing as well as we normally do." , And so Xavier was able to take command and advance to a second-round game against No. 6-seeded Purdue, which beat No. II Baylor 90-79. Led by Terrance " Woodbury's 16 points and Gaines' 13 points, six a5sists, and constant hustle, Georgia began the afternoon displaying far more energy than could rightly have been expected. With Xavier looking a bit uncertain for ·stretches, Georgia pulled out to a 3526 halftime advantage. The lead grew to 43-32 with 16 minutes left after a baseline jumper by Woodbury, who . let out a "Woooo!" yell that was answered by loud barks from his team's fans . And that, pretty much, was that for Georgia. Xavier began making its move from - where else? - the foul line, with six straight points off free throws.

Led by Derrick Brown's 19 points and II rebounds, and super-sub Josh Duncan's 20 points, No. 3seeded Xavier erased a double-digit deficit against fading Georgia to win 73-61 Thursday in a: first-round West Re!lional game. Georgta's players, who made a remarkable run to the Southeastern Conference tournament title by winning three ~ames in about 30 hours, msisted they weren't exhausted. Indeed, they put more of the blame on a significant discrepancy in free throws: Xavier went 27-for- 33 from the line, while Georgia was 3-for-5. But, as Xavier point guard Drew Lavender put it: "Fati~ue finally caught them.' The Musketeers (28-6) trailed by II in the second half but conjured up a 22-6 run to come back and tie the school record for victories in a season. "You can't help but think it was to our advantage; what they just went through," Xavier coach Sean Miller said. "The longer the game went on, the more we were able to·. wear them down. And I think we all know part of that reason was the energy they had to use this past weekend. In the end, Georgia ( 1717) simply could not sustain the energy and effort it sum- mooed durin'g last week's remarkable run to the SEC The tournament title. Bulldogs were 13-16 before the conference tourney, yet somehow won four games in as many days - including two in a single day! - to save coach Dennis Felton's job and extend their season. As Xavier turned up its defensive intensity down the stretch, Georgia's do-everything guard Sundiata Gaines acknowledged, "I kind of felt our offense got stagnant. We weren't moving and executing as well as we normally do." , And so Xavier was able to take command and advance to a second-round game against No. 6-seeded Purdue, which beat No. II Baylor 90-79. Led by Terrance " Woodbury's 16 points and Gaines' 13 points, six a5sists, and constant hustle, Georgia began the afternoon displaying far more energy than could rightly have been expected. With Xavier looking a bit uncertain for ·stretches, Georgia pulled out to a 3526 halftime advantage. The lead grew to 43-32 with 16 minutes left after a baseline jumper by Woodbury, who . let out a "Woooo!" yell that was answered by loud barks from his team's fans . And that, pretty much, was that for Georgia. Xavier began making its move from - where else? - the foul line, with six straight points off free throws.

Dale Jarrett's final Sprint Cup point race ended ingloriously - 37th place in the Food City 500, 10 laps down but it was significant because Jarrett has been an important figure. He won a championship (1999), 32 races and · 16 poles. He was the son of a champi· on, Ned Jarrett (1961, '65), who wound up following in his father's footsteps in more than one way. Dale Jarrett is stepping directly from the driver's seat into the television booth, where he will undoubtedly be much like his father: Forthright, self-deprecating and gentlemanly. Jeff Burton, whose Bristol Motor Speedway victory was the 20th of his career, has an older brother, Ward, who won the Daytona 500 in 2002.

"We're extremely disappointed with this incident," team chairman Dan Rooney told · reporters. "The Steelers do not condone violence of any kind, especially against women." Police in Pine Township charged Wilson, 29, after allegedly pushed he Lindsey Paulat and then punched her in the face on Wednesday night.

Keeping the ball down is the biggest thing." The Twins are counting on Slowey to step forward, with Francisco Liriano returning from a missed season due to left elbow · surgery and Scott Baker limited in camp because of a back injury and the flu . "Slowey did very good," manager Ron Gardenhire pushed her on the shoulder and. when she turned around, punched her in the left side of her face before leaving the eatery promptly, according to the complaint. There was redness and swelling on Paulat's left cheek, and witnesses told officers what happened, police said. Officers later found Wilson as he was leaving his Pine Township home in his car, police said. He was arraigned around 4 a.m. Thursday on charges · of simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct and freed on $10,000 bail. Wilson apologized Thursday and said he would be seeking angermanagement treatment. "I shouldn't have done it. I hold myself to a higher standard than that," he told the Pittsburgh Tribune- . Review. "I just want to apologize to Lindsey, her family, the NFL family and t.he Pittsburgh Steeler nation. I let them down." Wilson said he would attend anger management classes "to better myself for my child and my other children. It's tough to even talk about because I'm a man that's always tried to keep my nose clean. That was very inappropriate. I'm very sorry about it." Wilson's attorney, Paul Goltz of Pittsburgh, is out of the country, and a woman at Goltz's office said the attorney handling Wilson's case would not comment.

"We're extremely disappointed with this incident," team chairman Dan Rooney told · reporters. "The Steelers do not condone violence of any kind, especially against women." Police in Pine Township charged Wilson, 29, after allegedly pushed he Lindsey Paulat and then punched her in the face on Wednesday night. The incident began after Wilson entered the Patron Mexican Grill shortly before 8 p.m. and saw · Paulat sitting at the bar, according to a criminal complaint filed by Northern Regional Police·. Paula! told police Wilson Reds fromPageBl Slowey then struck out Norris Hopper and Paul Bako, ending the inning. "We're so confident in our defense out there that when they don't make a play, they don't make a play," Slowey said. "Tille biggest thing is I was keeping the ball down. Keeping the ball down is the biggest thing." The Twins are counting on Slowey to step forward, with Francisco Liriano returning from a missed season due to left elbow · surgery and Scott Baker limited in camp because of a back injury and the flu . "Slowey did very good," manager Ron Gardenhire pushed her on the shoulder and. when she turned around, punched her in the left side of her face before leaving the eatery promptly, according to the complaint. There was redness and swelling on Paulat's left cheek, and witnesses told officers what happened, police said. Officers later found Wilson as he was leaving his Pine Township home in his car, police said. He was arraigned around 4 a.m. Thursday on charges · of simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct and freed on $10,000 bail. Wilson apologized Thursday and said he would be seeking angermanagement treatment. "I shouldn't have done it. I hold myself to a higher standard than that," he told the Pittsburgh Tribune- . Review. "I just want to apologize to Lindsey, her family, the NFL family and t.he Pittsburgh Steeler nation. I let them down." Wilson said he would attend anger management classes "to better myself for my child and my other children. It's tough to even talk about because I'm a man that's always tried to keep my nose clean. That was very inappropriate. I'm very sorry about it." Wilson's attorney, Paul Goltz of Pittsburgh, is out of the country, and a woman at Goltz's office said the attorney handling Wilson's case would not comment. Wilson's agent, Tom Condon, did not return calls seeking comment Thursday. Wilson, a backup receiver, is the second Steelers player arrested this month on charges that he assaulted a woman. Linebacker James Harrison, 29, a secondieam All-Pro voted Most Valuable Player by his teammates last season, was charged with simple assault and criminal mischief for allegedly hitting his girlfriend on March 8. He faces a prehmmary said. "The ball was really tion. When spring training coming out of his hand. He ·opened, the competition was wide open for the three used his changeup some.

Team spokesman Dave .._ockett said that even though the Steelers don't condone Harrison's conduct, they recognized that ·the circumstances ·were different. Harrison's dispule began when he argued with his girlfriend about whether to baptize his son, while Wilson and the woman he's accused of hitting were involved in a previous incident, he said. In January, Wilson and Paulat got into a fight that led police to charge her with firing two gunshots after Wilson left his suburban town house. Paula!, who is also the mother of' Wilson's 1-year-old daughter, Anya, is awaiting trial in that case. Wilson signed with the Steelers a~ a free agent out of San Francisco in March AP photo 2005.

If it becomes increasingly apparent you can~ot afford the job, don't go ahead with it anyway. Because many people get loans through their bank for home projects, taking on too big a loan can be a genuine albatross if it's a loan you cannot afford. Keep in mind that. other unexpected problems (i.e., a leaky roof, new appliances, etc.) will arise sometime, and you don't want to stretch your dollars too thin. If the budget you've come to is simply beyond your reach, consider a less expensive project or continue saving and tackle the project do,wn the road. · · • Consider the · value: While it's n~ce to ·improve your home, It's not always beneficial.ln fact, mos~ renovations fail to recoup 100 JK:I'Cent of a homeowner's mitial investment.. The bigget: the project does not neeessarily equal the bigger return. In their 2006 "Cost vs. Value .Report," Remodeling magazine found that while costs of remodelin_g projects continue to chmb, the recoup value .of those projects at resale is declining. This is definitely somethmg homeowners should consider before making any improvements. , If the job you're about to sink a small fortune into won't yield you nearly as much money at resale, ~rhaps finding a 'Dew place to live that better suits yoor needs would be a better . approach. When making your budget, compare the money you'll spend to the money you're likely to recoup at resale and go f~om there. • Include professional help in your budget: As previously mentioned, surprises always pop up duetng a project. One of the (MS) - When it comes to projects addressing a home's interior, homeowners know full well the bottom line plays a big role. For the unprepared homeowner tackling a first do-ityo!Jrself project, costs can qutckly escalate out of control. One way to successfully combat that is to make a bud_get prior to starting a proJect. When putting one together, consider the following guidelines: · • Consult a professional: When initially sitting down . to plan a budget, chances are you'll have no idea where to begin. Tools, materials, timeframe, etc., all contribute to how much you'll have to spend. To J!lake your ~udget as realisttc as posstble, consult a profes!nonal about providmg. an estimate for the job, be 1t a bathroom renovation, home theater installation or refacing the kitchen cabinets. Explain ·the situation to the contractor and ask for an estimate that doesn't include labor but does include the cost you'll need to pay for supplies (contractors often pay less for parts because ·of existing and ongoi!'g relationships with supplters). The budget you receive will aet as a guideline and let you know lf the job you have in mind is the one you'll be able to afford financially.· . • Leave some leeway: Many .a job has gone unfinished at the hancfs of a poorly set budget. When buiJgets are absolute at the onset of a project, dollars often stretched too thin to handle the inevitable surprises that pop rip on a project. For example, old pipes might stall a bathroom renovation, leaving the do-it-yourselfer with a less than fully functioning bathroom that will have to remain tha~ way until inore money can be saved.

If it becomes increasingly apparent you can~ot afford the job, don't go ahead with it anyway. Because many people get loans through their bank for home projects, taking on too big a loan can be a genuine albatross if it's a loan you cannot afford. Keep in mind that. other unexpected problems (i.e., a leaky roof, new appliances, etc.) will arise sometime, and you don't want to stretch your dollars too thin. If the budget you've come to is simply beyond your reach, consider a less expensive project or continue saving and tackle the project do,wn the road. · · • Consider the · value: While it's n~ce to ·improve your home, It's not always beneficial.ln fact, mos~ renovations fail to recoup 100 JK:I'Cent of a homeowner's mitial investment.. The bigget: the project does not neeessarily equal the bigger return. In their 2006 "Cost vs. Value .Report," Remodeling magazine found that while costs of remodelin_g projects continue to chmb, the recoup value .of those projects at resale is declining. This is definitely somethmg homeowners should consider before making any improvements. , If the job you're about to sink a small fortune into won't yield you nearly as much money at resale, ~rhaps finding a 'Dew place to live that better suits yoor needs would be a better . approach. When making your budget, compare the money you'll spend to the money you're likely to recoup at resale and go f~om there. • Include professional help in your budget: As previously mentioned, surprises always pop up duetng a project. One of the (MS) - When it comes to projects addressing a home's interior, homeowners know full well the bottom line plays a big role. For the unprepared homeowner tackling a first do-ityo!Jrself project, costs can qutckly escalate out of control. One way to successfully combat that is to make a bud_get prior to starting a proJect. When putting one together, consider the following guidelines: · • Consult a professional: When initially sitting down . to plan a budget, chances are you'll have no idea where to begin. Tools, materials, timeframe, etc., all contribute to how much you'll have to spend. To J!lake your ~udget as realisttc as posstble, consult a profes!nonal about providmg. an estimate for the job, be 1t a bathroom renovation, home theater installation or refacing the kitchen cabinets. Explain ·the situation to the contractor and ask for an estimate that doesn't include labor but does include the cost you'll need to pay for supplies (contractors often pay less for parts because ·of existing and ongoi!'g relationships with supplters). The budget you receive will aet as a guideline and let you know lf the job you have in mind is the one you'll be able to afford financially.· . • Leave some leeway: Many .a job has gone unfinished at the hancfs of a poorly set budget. When buiJgets are absolute at the onset of a project, dollars often stretched too thin to handle the inevitable surprises that pop rip on a project. For example, old pipes might stall a bathroom renovation, leaving the do-it-yourselfer with a less than fully functioning bathroom that will have to remain tha~ way until inore money can be saved.

Late wmter can also be a good time to repair the edges of your lawn as well, but only if the ground has thawed out. . · • Early fall: When mowing in early fall; you won't need to mow as frequently. When you do mow, raise the height of your mower's blades to prepare for winter. Early fall is also when you'll need to clear any leaves or debris that has accumulated on the property. Use a light rake for this project to avoid damaging the ground, and be sure to rake before you do any mowing. • Late fall: Once you've cut your lawn for the last time of the season, there isn't . much leffto do other than removing aQ.y leaves or debris that pile up thereafter.

RIO GRANDE Working in conjunction with a state-funded grant program and a statewide workforce development network, Rio Grande Community College is positioning itself to meet the training needs of local employers and eJliPloyees. Through Ohio's Targeted Industries Training Grants (TITG), businesses may be eligible to receive up to 75 percent of the total cost for employee training. Training, whicli is limited to non-credit course work, can be delivered at the site of the business or company, on campus, or at any other suitable location. "As an Enterprise Ohio Network institution, we'll work with employers to quickly develop the right training plan," said - Tom Sutton, RGCC's Workforce Solutions coordinator. "Then, we'll take the lead to complete and submit a simple, jointly signed training grant appltcation." Funds for the program were appropriated by the Ohio General .Assembly and channeled to the Ohio Board of Regents and Enterprise Ohio Network colleges to support training programs to eligible companies. The Enterprise Ohio Network is an association of 53 two-year public campuses that provide educational and qairung programs tlrroughout thl:'state. ''The grants are available to )lelp companies improve quality, productivity, and competitiveness," Sutton said. ''The funds may also be targeted for worker retention, expansion of an existing business or the development of a new enterprise." Sutton added the community college is now working to ·develop a district-wide business advisory committee to identify existing and developing workforce needs. This effort, combined with the targeted industries training grant, is designed to meet workforce development needs identified at both the state and local level.
