COM GALLIPOLIS- Projects for the 59th annual Gallia Cou nty Junior Fair are either above or at the same levels as they were for the 2007 e><.position, an indication that interest in 4-H and agriculture remains high among local ·youth . "The projects are good and . we will have a fine fair," said Tracy Winters, Ohio State University Extension Educator for 4H/youth development and Extension's chair for Gallia County. "We have lots of animal projects com ing . back this year. "All of our animal projects are up or where they were at this time last year," she continued. "Most of our• , . 0BHUARIES Activities Building projects are on the increase this year." Winters attributed the steady stream of projects and participation in the fair, which begins its six-day stand at the fairgro unds Monday, to a corresponding increase in 4-H club participation in the past year. Projects are moving into the barns today in preparation for the opening of the fair, a celebration of 4-H. FFA arid Girl Scout and non-livestock endeavor that participants have worked on for the past year. "There are lots of volun· teers working hard and if the breeding is an indication, ·the kids have been working very hard on their projects," said Richard Stephens, Extension Educator for agriculture and natural resources. As judging of projects begins Monday. an official opening ceremony has been set for I p.m. at the main stage. On hand for events will be ·the 2008 livestock royalty chosen last week.

Arnold Schwarzenegger drew a lot of derision, but in fact he was making an important point. Accusing someone of being a "flip-flapper" ha' become a simplistic - and often silly - way of scoring cheap political points. Any leader who does not learn and grow, who does not incorporate new ideas or understand changing reality. is doomed to failure . Yes, consistency and principle are important, but so are intellect and openness. And the voters seem to understand that better than the politicians who !ling the two "f-words" around at the drop of a summer sandal. . A recent ABC/Washington Post poll asked: "On major issues, do you think it's better for a candidate to hold positions without changing them , or to adjust his posi- · lions to changing circumstances''" By a four-to-one margin, voters preferred a llexible candidate over a rigid one. Let's be clear. Not all changes of position are admirable reflections of evolving circumstances or. maturing judgment. Some are crass conversions of conyenience, pure pandering to powerful constituencies, and we've seen plenty of those in both parties this year.

John McCain were moving his way on the key issues of Iraq and Afghanistan. Hours before flying home, Obama also suggested hi s poll numbers might dip in the coming days, adding: "We have been out of the cou ntry for a week. People are worried about gas prices and home foreclosures." At the same time, he· said the journey to two war zones, the Mideast and tour, says McCain shifting on war, Europe was important because ".many of the issues that we face at home are not going to be so lved as effectively unless we have strong partners abroad." Republicans have criticized Obama' throughout his trip. and McCain's campaign said recently the Democrat was taking a "premature victory lap" with more than I00 days remaining in the presidential campaign. In Arizona on Saturday. McCain took a swipe at the headline-making trip in a radio address on Iraq and energy that his campaign made avai Iable to the media: "With all the breathless coverage from abroad, and with Sen. Obama now addressing his speeches to the people of the world, I'm starting to feel a little left out. Maybe you .are. too." But Obama sought to turn that back on hi s critic s. He sa id McCain had earlier been ''telling me I was supposed to take thi s trip. He ·suggested it and thought it was a good idea." · "John McCain has visited every one of these countries post-primary that I have," he said.

John ML'Cain 's presidential campaign, unable · to get traction with il' relentless attacks on - Sen. Barack Obama, is now sliding into the mud with its .charge that Obama is responsible tor high fuel prices at the pump. Is ti)e ML'Cain campaign running out of gas? Atier months of endlessly needling Obama to visit Iraq and Afghanistan, McCain's campaign is now whining about the extensive and favorable media coverage of the junior senator's hip to Europe and the Middle East, where he .was greeted by leaders and dignitaries as if he had already won the election. Meanwhile, McCain, who once called the media his political base, must have . felt like a jilted lover when he arrived in New Hampshire and was met at th~ airport by a lone reporter. . Most members of Congress would give their right artil for the fawning . media coverage McCain has received over the last 10 years. But when your campaign message has the tlawed and failed talking points from another political era, why should the media pay attention? Like the rest of the country and the world, the media has come to recognize that McCain, like the Republican Party, has run out of gas. Having committed some major blunders in this campaign, McCain should thank his lucky stars that the media is still somewhat interested in capturing the wisps of what once was his stmight-talking maverick style. Otherwise, how can anyone explain how the presumftive Republican presidentia nominee has been absol.Jed of the strict press scrutiny Obama Donna Brazile endures? Even McCain 's major gaffes are ignored, and if the media was not still salivating over the m'averick who once upon a time kicked up dust at hts party, he would be in even deeper trouble. . For instance. the media has not sharply focused on his major foreign policy missteps, including hi s stated belief that there is an lmqPakistan border. CBS News left on the editing room tiO\Jr the part of hi s interview with Kaue Couric when, scrambling the basic timeline and history of the surge, he said: "And it began the Anbar awakening. I mean, that's just a matter of history.'.' And what about Czechoslovakia? McCain believes it still exists. Then again. let's recall McCain's trip abroad, when he didn't know the ditl'ercnce between a Sunni and a Shiite, and Sen. Joe Lieberman had to whisper the important distinction into his ear. McCain's alarming number of policy flip-flops has gone largely unreported by the media, especially cable news shows, more interested . in Obarna's appeal to the center. McC~m has flipllopped on off-shore drilling, a grassroots lobbying reform bill he once sponsored. gay marriage. abortion, estate taxes; negotiating with North Korea, torturing and indetinitely holding detainees, privatizing Social Security, Bush 's tax cuts- the list is endle>S. Given that McCain secured his party's nomination in Febn1ary, why can't he get traction? My am;wcr: McCain needs new material to work with. He should stop trying to revive Sen. Hillary Clinton's primary campaign a ga in~t Obama. · McCuin should stop trying to pick a ·rhetorical fight about who has the most experience. Come on, based on age alone, M'Cain has won that battle. But Obama may be winning the battle on who has better judgment, especil~ly on what constitutes the central front in the war on terrorism: It's Afghanistan. and the sooner the United States cimcummit more of its resources there, the better oil the world will be in the long tenn in stopping the spread of terrorism. lliroughout Obama's long week abroad, the McCain campaign spent precious political capital trying to make the case that the maverick senator trom Arizona had better judgment about the surge. Again , no one will dispute that an addition . of 30,001) American troops helped reduce the level of violenoe in Iraq. But the stat, ed goal of the surge as outlined by the president in 2007 has not been met: Create breathing room to allow for political reconciliation. · Obmna has been consistent in his criticism that the surge has not achieved its stated goal. but the time has come fur U.S. political leaders to move beyond the surge and ot1tline the next steps in Iraq , which includes adopting, us Great Britain has, a sensible plan to begin the "responsible and orderly" withdrawal ' oftroops. . Not only has Iraqi's Prime. Minister Nouri al-Maliki agreed with Obama's plan to' redeploy our combat brigades responsibly in 16 months, but now the Bush administration is on record· with the principle of a "gen-eral time horizon" for the removal of U.S. troops from, Iraq. · : Obama, it appears, has also · been right on using tough. diplomacy with Iran to make. us safer; the Bush admiiJistration recently announced plans to sit down in Europe with Iran to discuss their nuclear program. , . · It's still early in tbe longest, but clearly not boring presidential campaigO: season.

For now, voters should prepare to hear more whin: ing, more snide remarb from the McCain campaign. about the media fawning over Obama and more attack ads to distract us from the real issues.

The atmosphere in the multisensory camp contains a lot of visual elements, along with plenty of sounds and textures. It stimulates their senses, but . it also relaxes and calms them.

The children spent each morning exploring the safe, soft environment and playing with unique items designed to stimulate their senses including massa~e pads, a bubble machine, a Giga Ball, and a colorful swirling light show. As the children played, adults 'learned about different ways to take care of themselves and their fami· lies.

Arnold Schwarzenegger drew a lot of derision, but in fact he was making an important point. Accusing someone of being a "flip-flapper" ha' become a simplistic - and often silly - way of scoring cheap political points. Any leader who does not learn and grow, who does not incorporate new ideas or understand changing reality. is doomed to failure . Yes, consistency and principle are important, but so are intellect and openness. And the voters seem to understand that better than the politicians who !ling the two "f-words" around at the drop of a summer sandal. . A recent ABC/Washington Post poll asked: "On major issues, do you think it's better for a candidate to hold positions without changing them , or to adjust his posi- · lions to changing circumstances''" By a four-to-one margin, voters preferred a llexible candidate over a rigid one. Let's be clear. Not all changes of position are admirable reflections of evolving circumstances or. maturing judgment. Some are crass conversions of conyenience, pure pandering to powerful constituencies, and we've seen plenty of those in both parties this year. The key is why you alter .your views and how you explain the switch to the voters.

John McCain were moving his way on the key issues of Iraq and Afghanistan. Hours before flying home, Obama also suggested hi s poll numbers might dip in the coming days, adding: "We have been out of the cou ntry for a week. People are worried about gas prices and home foreclosures." At the same time, he· said the journey to two war zones, the Mideast and tour, says McCain shifting on war, Europe was important because ".many of the issues that we face at home are not going to be so lved as effectively unless we have strong partners abroad." Republicans have criticized Obama' throughout his trip. and McCain's campaign said recently the Democrat was taking a "premature victory lap" with more than I00 days remaining in the presidential campaign. In Arizona on Saturday. McCain took a swipe at the headline-making trip in a radio address on Iraq and energy that his campaign made avai Iable to the media: "With all the breathless coverage from abroad, and with Sen. Obama now addressing his speeches to the people of the world, I'm starting to feel a little left out. Maybe you .are. too." But Obama sought to turn that back on hi s critic s. He sa id McCain had earlier been ''telling me I was supposed to take thi s trip.

John ML'Cain 's presidential campaign, unable · to get traction with il' relentless attacks on - Sen. Barack Obama, is now sliding into the mud with its .charge that Obama is responsible tor high fuel prices at the pump. Is ti)e ML'Cain campaign running out of gas? Atier months of endlessly needling Obama to visit Iraq and Afghanistan, McCain's campaign is now whining about the extensive and favorable media coverage of the junior senator's hip to Europe and the Middle East, where he .was greeted by leaders and dignitaries as if he had already won the election. Meanwhile, McCain, who once called the media his political base, must have . felt like a jilted lover when he arrived in New Hampshire and was met at th~ airport by a lone reporter. . Most members of Congress would give their right artil for the fawning . media coverage McCain has received over the last 10 years. But when your campaign message has the tlawed and failed talking points from another political era, why should the media pay attention? Like the rest of the country and the world, the media has come to recognize that McCain, like the Republican Party, has run out of gas. Having committed some major blunders in this campaign, McCain should thank his lucky stars that the media is still somewhat interested in capturing the wisps of what once was his stmight-talking maverick style. Otherwise, how can anyone explain how the presumftive Republican presidentia nominee has been absol.Jed of the strict press scrutiny Obama Donna Brazile endures? Even McCain 's major gaffes are ignored, and if the media was not still salivating over the m'averick who once upon a time kicked up dust at hts party, he would be in even deeper trouble. . For instance. the media has not sharply focused on his major foreign policy missteps, including hi s stated belief that there is an lmqPakistan border. CBS News left on the editing room tiO\Jr the part of hi s interview with Kaue Couric when, scrambling the basic timeline and history of the surge, he said: "And it began the Anbar awakening. I mean, that's just a matter of history.'.' And what about Czechoslovakia? McCain believes it still exists. Then again. let's recall McCain's trip abroad, when he didn't know the ditl'ercnce between a Sunni and a Shiite, and Sen. Joe Lieberman had to whisper the important distinction into his ear. McCain's alarming number of policy flip-flops has gone largely unreported by the media, especially cable news shows, more interested . in Obarna's appeal to the center. McC~m has flipllopped on off-shore drilling, a grassroots lobbying reform bill he once sponsored. gay marriage. abortion, estate taxes; negotiating with North Korea, torturing and indetinitely holding detainees, privatizing Social Security, Bush 's tax cuts- the list is endle>S. Given that McCain secured his party's nomination in Febn1ary, why can't he get traction? My am;wcr: McCain needs new material to work with. He should stop trying to revive Sen. Hillary Clinton's primary campaign a ga in~t Obama. · McCuin should stop trying to pick a ·rhetorical fight about who has the most experience. Come on, based on age alone, M'Cain has won that battle. But Obama may be winning the battle on who has better judgment, especil~ly on what constitutes the central front in the war on terrorism: It's Afghanistan. and the sooner the United States cimcummit more of its resources there, the better oil the world will be in the long tenn in stopping the spread of terrorism. lliroughout Obama's long week abroad, the McCain campaign spent precious political capital trying to make the case that the maverick senator trom Arizona had better judgment about the surge. Again , no one will dispute that an addition . of 30,001) American troops helped reduce the level of violenoe in Iraq. But the stat, ed goal of the surge as outlined by the president in 2007 has not been met: Create breathing room to allow for political reconciliation. · Obmna has been consistent in his criticism that the surge has not achieved its stated goal. but the time has come fur U.S. political leaders to move beyond the surge and ot1tline the next steps in Iraq , which includes adopting, us Great Britain has, a sensible plan to begin the "responsible and orderly" withdrawal ' oftroops. . Not only has Iraqi's Prime. Minister Nouri al-Maliki agreed with Obama's plan to' redeploy our combat brigades responsibly in 16 months, but now the Bush administration is on record· with the principle of a "gen-eral time horizon" for the removal of U.S. troops from, Iraq. · : Obama, it appears, has also · been right on using tough. diplomacy with Iran to make. us safer; the Bush admiiJistration recently announced plans to sit down in Europe with Iran to discuss their nuclear program. , . · It's still early in tbe longest, but clearly not boring presidential campaigO: season.

For now, voters should prepare to hear more whin: ing, more snide remarb from the McCain campaign. about the media fawning over Obama and more attack ads to distract us from the real issues.

The children spent each morning exploring the safe, soft environment and playing with unique items designed to stimulate their senses including massa~e pads, a bubble machine, a Giga Ball, and a colorful swirling light show. As the children played, adults 'learned about different ways to take care of themselves and their fami· lies.

In 1889, the race track was enlarged from a one-third to one-half mile tract .. A grandstand was built in time for the September 1890 fair. It was described as ''easily seating one thousand persons and commanding an entire view of the race course. A back ·view of the grandstand js .as attractive as the front. It consists of hash stalls whose counters bristle with ham sandwiches. ginger bread, and birch beer," reported the Meigs County Tribune. Because of the debt the Meigs County Agriculture Society incurred by improve. merits to the fairgrounds,. no fairs were held in 1895 or 1896. By 1900, all that had changed and fairs were .resumed. It was that year that a "baby show" (what we now call a prelt'J baby contest) hailed at the time as the "event of the day, to the women at least" was added to the annual schedule of evens. As theJears passed, attendance an panicipation grew - 1111d so did the debt for the· -conatrilctlon of the cut"Yed · ~rand~tand and other tmprovements and expenses. Litigation followed and a judgment was levied. That resulted in canceling fairs in 1915, 1916 and 1917. But the . fair returned in 1918 and that year's ladies features went from just a baby : show to a beauty contest arid hitching events. Fairs continued as the Agricultural Society struggled with financial problems, but in 1940 a suit calling for the dissolution of the Meigs County Agricul\Ufal Soctety was filed in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. , In September 1941 ; the Agricultural Society was dissolved, and the prop- " erty was transferred to Meigs County. Meanwhile, a new society had Qeen formed and in 1941 held a two-day fair at the Pythian Park in Middlepon. Because of World War U, no full-fledged fairs were held in ·1942, 1943 or 1944, although 4-H judging did take place, and members' items were exhibited. After a four-year absence, the fair returned to Rock Springs in 1945, where it has been held annually . every since. A Junior Fair Board was organized .in 1946 and remains active. hi 1963, the centennial of the JYieigs County Fair was · celebrated, recognizing the fact that this was the I OOth fair held. The years since have .seen tremendous growth, both in exhibits and participation, as well as structures. Since 1851, Meigs County has had fairs 144 times in three locations, Middlepon. Racine, and Rock Spnngs. When this year's fair opens it will mark the I45th event. The fair has grown from a one-day event to the current six -days. It has seen many changes over the years from development on expanded acreage, to the con~ttuction of many new buildmgs, to the expansion of entertainment, to broader educational and recognition features, to camping facilities and reserved parking. Year after year the Fair Board members' goal is to make things not only bi~ger and better but more enJOYable. This year will not disappoint. ·Family. prifers Great Lakes beaches to the ocean • BOARD CERTIFICAnON American Board of Surgery Photo courtesy of Sob Graham I · . • • • ' week for "our" three-bedroom, two-bath. ·sleeps- ! 0 cottage with L.L Bean-i sh rustic navor and a can't-bebeat .privitle beach.

In 1889, the race track was enlarged from a one-third to one-half mile tract .. A grandstand was built in time for the September 1890 fair. It was described as ''easily seating one thousand persons and commanding an entire view of the race course. A back ·view of the grandstand js .as attractive as the front. It consists of hash stalls whose counters bristle with ham sandwiches. ginger bread, and birch beer," reported the Meigs County Tribune. Because of the debt the Meigs County Agriculture Society incurred by improve. merits to the fairgrounds,. no fairs were held in 1895 or 1896. By 1900, all that had changed and fairs were .resumed. It was that year that a "baby show" (what we now call a prelt'J baby contest) hailed at the time as the "event of the day, to the women at least" was added to the annual schedule of evens. As theJears passed, attendance an panicipation grew - 1111d so did the debt for the· -conatrilctlon of the cut"Yed · ~rand~tand and other tmprovements and expenses. Litigation followed and a judgment was levied. That resulted in canceling fairs in 1915, 1916 and 1917. But the . fair returned in 1918 and that year's ladies features went from just a baby : show to a beauty contest arid hitching events. Fairs continued as the Agricultural Society struggled with financial problems, but in 1940 a suit calling for the dissolution of the Meigs County Agricul\Ufal Soctety was filed in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. , In September 1941 ; the Agricultural Society was dissolved, and the prop- " erty was transferred to Meigs County. Meanwhile, a new society had Qeen formed and in 1941 held a two-day fair at the Pythian Park in Middlepon. Because of World War U, no full-fledged fairs were held in ·1942, 1943 or 1944, although 4-H judging did take place, and members' items were exhibited. After a four-year absence, the fair returned to Rock Springs in 1945, where it has been held annually . every since. A Junior Fair Board was organized .in 1946 and remains active. hi 1963, the centennial of the JYieigs County Fair was · celebrated, recognizing the fact that this was the I OOth fair held. The years since have .seen tremendous growth, both in exhibits and participation, as well as structures. Since 1851, Meigs County has had fairs 144 times in three locations, Middlepon. Racine, and Rock Spnngs. When this year's fair opens it will mark the I45th event. The fair has grown from a one-day event to the current six -days. It has seen many changes over the years from development on expanded acreage, to the con~ttuction of many new buildmgs, to the expansion of entertainment, to broader educational and recognition features, to camping facilities and reserved parking. Year after year the Fair Board members' goal is to make things not only bi~ger and better but more enJOYable. This year will not disappoint. ·Family. prifers Great Lakes beaches to the ocean • BOARD CERTIFICAnON American Board of Surgery Photo courtesy of Sob Graham I · . • • • ' week for "our" three-bedroom, two-bath. ·sleeps- ! 0 cottage with L.L Bean-i sh rustic navor and a can't-bebeat .privitle beach.

Farm Bureau exhibit offers fair attractions , COLUMBUS - Family fun and a connection to rural Oh10 are just two of lhe many reasons for visitors to stop by the "Land and Living" exhibit at the Ohio State Fair, July 30 to Aug. I0. Presented by the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF), the exhibit demonstrates agriculture's link to everyday life. Visitors to the exhibit, located in the Nalionwide Ag & Han building, can panicipate in a variety of activilles such as chmbmg a giant com wall, watching chicks and ducks hatch. and planting a flower to take home. Clnldren can take a ride in the OFBF Country Cruise, a pedal tractor course that highlights green energy, conservation practices, Ohto crops and other areas of Ohio agriculture. Famtlies may also have their picture taken, compliments of OFBFJ New to the exhibit this year is the COS I on Wheels ':Agriculture Adventures" program. where visitors can learn about agriculture from 10 different interactive sta-· tions, including milking a fiberglass cow, cardmg wool and testing soil. Live demonstrations from COSI on Wheels staff will take place daily at II a.m. and 4 p.m. "The 'Land /!<. Living' exhibit offers something for everyone in the family," said OFBF Promotion S,pecialist Cara Lawson. "The building is full of fun activities that will leave visitors with a better understanding of Ohto agriculture and a greater appreciation for Ohto farm- ers." - Returning this ~ear is the Our Ohio Growing a Masterpiece collection. This exhibit will feature 88 uniquely decorated cowboy hats, representing each of Ohio's counties. F.airgoers will have the chance to vote for their favorite hat and several awards will be given at the fair. A "green" theme is J!so prevalent in the building this year as displays varying from rain barrels to ethanol cars represent the growing need for conservation and envtronmental awareness. The Ohio Soybean Council and Ohio Corn Growers Association will feature the latest in renewable fuels and products. Last year, the exhibit attracted an estimated 300,000 state fair visitors. "Land and Living" is located east of the giant slide and across from · the south entrance to the midway. There is no additional charge for visiting the building or any of its displays.

' - First, there was last summer's drought. Then came more bad news: skyrocketing fuel and fertilizer prices, and a wet spring that delayed West Virginia farmers' plantings and hay harvesis. In 2007, the state's 21,000 farms suffered millions of dollars in losses from the driest summer in years. Yet in an industry that serves mostly as a second income here, farmers are refusing to fold, even in the face of the latest setbacks. "I don't know what's worse too much rain or not enouJ!h." said Ed Smolder, a West Virgmia University extension agent for Jackson County. "It's feast or famine." . Farmers got a break last week, the first 5ince Smolder can remember that no significant rain fell, giving many the first real chance this year to cut hay, usually harvested in June. "And it's July," Smolder said. "I've been here 3 I years and this is the first time I've seen every-. one finishing up the hay the week before the (county) fair," which began Monday. While West Virginia has been spared a second straight summer of drought, that hasn't been the June renewed drought conditions that have spread across the Southeast for mucl] of the past year. A U.S. Drought Monitor report shows exceptional drought conditions - the most severe category - cover por- · lions of the western Carolil)as, with extreme conditions in northern Georgia, eastern Tenne ssee and the central Carolina.;. A yea,. ago, there wasn't any hay in West Virginia. There were no soybeans ami not much com, either. The livestock industry . suffered, too. Gov. Joe Manchin declared a 42-county emergency and asked the U.S. DeJ?artment of Agriculture for financtal assistance. Officials feared droughtrelated losses could reach $100 million. So far, the tally is vastly lower. The USDA's Farm Service A$:ency recently paid out $2.2 mtllion for livestock-related , losses from drought last summer and a milder one in 2005. It accounts for lost weight on cattle, early sales and lost market· ing opportunities, said state Department of Agricl!lture spokesman Buddy Davidson. &unllap Q:tii!H-&mttml • Page 03 m:rtbune - Sentinel - 3!.\e CL -A SSIFIED , Early judging resultsfor Galliafair ExTENsioN coRNER Pre~fitir Plant the seed now GALLIPOLIS 'judging rendt1 )in· the Ga/lw CuwJ(\' Junior Fttir ill(/udes: ' Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Pt.

The OSU Extension Beef Team suggest double cropping spnng oats mto wheat stubble. No-til oat seed into the wheat stubble at two and one half to three bushels per acre. The oats will grab whatever leftover nutrient s were left by the wheat crop and provide approximately four tons of nutntious feed for cattle if you apply 120 pounds of 18-46-00 fertilizer per acre. If weeds are a problem, apply a glyphosate product immediately after planting to kill volunteer wheat, ·foxtail, and other annuals and perennials. Farmers, think about soil testing your fields for fall plantmg and for fall application of nutrients to improve pasture and meadow health.

Farm Bureau exhibit offers fair attractions , COLUMBUS - Family fun and a connection to rural Oh10 are just two of lhe many reasons for visitors to stop by the "Land and Living" exhibit at the Ohio State Fair, July 30 to Aug. I0. Presented by the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF), the exhibit demonstrates agriculture's link to everyday life. Visitors to the exhibit, located in the Nalionwide Ag & Han building, can panicipate in a variety of activilles such as chmbmg a giant com wall, watching chicks and ducks hatch. and planting a flower to take home. Clnldren can take a ride in the OFBF Country Cruise, a pedal tractor course that highlights green energy, conservation practices, Ohto crops and other areas of Ohio agriculture. Famtlies may also have their picture taken, compliments of OFBFJ New to the exhibit this year is the COS I on Wheels ':Agriculture Adventures" program. where visitors can learn about agriculture from 10 different interactive sta-· tions, including milking a fiberglass cow, cardmg wool and testing soil. Live demonstrations from COSI on Wheels staff will take place daily at II a.m. and 4 p.m. "The 'Land /!<. Living' exhibit offers something for everyone in the family," said OFBF Promotion S,pecialist Cara Lawson. "The building is full of fun activities that will leave visitors with a better understanding of Ohto agriculture and a greater appreciation for Ohto farm- ers." - Returning this ~ear is the Our Ohio Growing a Masterpiece collection. This exhibit will feature 88 uniquely decorated cowboy hats, representing each of Ohio's counties. F.airgoers will have the chance to vote for their favorite hat and several awards will be given at the fair. A "green" theme is J!so prevalent in the building this year as displays varying from rain barrels to ethanol cars represent the growing need for conservation and envtronmental awareness. The Ohio Soybean Council and Ohio Corn Growers Association will feature the latest in renewable fuels and products. Last year, the exhibit attracted an estimated 300,000 state fair visitors. "Land and Living" is located east of the giant slide and across from · the south entrance to the midway. There is no additional charge for visiting the building or any of its displays.

Decision-making tools also include $Values, the i uite of bio-economic indexes designed to assist dommercial producers in simplifyhig the genetic selection. process. In addition, updated research reports are provided for heifer pregnancy and docility. . · The semiannual analysis for the report contains more than 16 mi!lion measures used to generate over 47 million EPDs for the Angus breed. ' - First, there was last summer's drought. Then came more bad news: skyrocketing fuel and fertilizer prices, and a wet spring that delayed West Virginia farmers' plantings and hay harvesis. In 2007, the state's 21,000 farms suffered millions of dollars in losses from the driest summer in years. Yet in an industry that serves mostly as a second income here, farmers are refusing to fold, even in the face of the latest setbacks. "I don't know what's worse too much rain or not enouJ!h." said Ed Smolder, a West Virgmia University extension agent for Jackson County. "It's feast or famine." . Farmers got a break last week, the first 5ince Smolder can remember that no significant rain fell, giving many the first real chance this year to cut hay, usually harvested in June. "And it's July," Smolder said. "I've been here 3 I years and this is the first time I've seen every-. one finishing up the hay the week before the (county) fair," which began Monday. While West Virginia has been spared a second straight summer of drought, that hasn't been the June renewed drought conditions that have spread across the Southeast for mucl] of the past year. A U.S. Drought Monitor report shows exceptional drought conditions - the most severe category - cover por- · lions of the western Carolil)as, with extreme conditions in northern Georgia, eastern Tenne ssee and the central Carolina.;. A yea,. ago, there wasn't any hay in West Virginia. There were no soybeans ami not much com, either. The livestock industry . suffered, too. Gov. Joe Manchin declared a 42-county emergency and asked the U.S. DeJ?artment of Agriculture for financtal assistance. Officials feared droughtrelated losses could reach $100 million. So far, the tally is vastly lower. The USDA's Farm Service A$:ency recently paid out $2.2 mtllion for livestock-related , losses from drought last summer and a milder one in 2005. It accounts for lost weight on cattle, early sales and lost market· ing opportunities, said state Department of Agricl!lture spokesman Buddy Davidson. &unllap Q:tii!H-&mttml • Page 03 m:rtbune - Sentinel - 3!.\e CL -A SSIFIED , Early judging resultsfor Galliafair ExTENsioN coRNER Pre~fitir Plant the seed now GALLIPOLIS 'judging rendt1 )in· the Ga/lw CuwJ(\' Junior Fttir ill(/udes: ' Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis, OH • Pt. Pleasant, WV ter We Cove Meigs, Gallla, And Mason Counties Like NoOne Else Can! BY HAL KNEEN ' It's not too late to plant a fall garden of beets, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, broccoli , peas, collards, turnips and kale. The problem may be finding seed. Look at your leftover seed or a gardener friend with seed, or locate a local store vender with leftover 200811ated seed. The cost of produce may drop a little as demand decreases due to earlter planted home gardens, however, by late September prices will jump back up. . . . Several commercial growers planted earher m the month a late planting of tomatoes to meet early local fall sales. Whether you direct seed in to the garden or grow l{ansplants for three weeks, you need to plant the seed now! Prepare the ground as in the spring using composted organic matter or chemical fe rtilizer. Do not use fresh manure, only· composted manure. You will be surprised how quickly the seed will sprout. · · Try growmg vegetables m containers. Container gardening can allow gardene.rs with limjted space access to a few fresh vegetables. A large 24-inch container can grow a lot of spinach and lettuce.

The OSU Extension Beef Team suggest double cropping spnng oats mto wheat stubble. No-til oat seed into the wheat stubble at two and one half to three bushels per acre. The oats will grab whatever leftover nutrient s were left by the wheat crop and provide approximately four tons of nutntious feed for cattle if you apply 120 pounds of 18-46-00 fertilizer per acre. If weeds are a problem, apply a glyphosate product immediately after planting to kill volunteer wheat, ·foxtail, and other annuals and perennials. Farmers, think about soil testing your fields for fall plantmg and for fall application of nutrients to improve pasture and meadow health.

Late last week, Cary Betzing. project engineer with the Ohio Department of Transportation, said only one pour remains on t)le West Virginia span and two more on the Obio span before the final ."closure" pour which will only be a 12-foot _span of concrete, though an important one. Betzing once again stressed that despite rumors to the contrary, the two spans ''will" meet in the middle. When the final pour is made the two cantilevers will be locked together to make that o;losure pour. · .

As the span .reaches further and further out .on the ·cablesplayed structure more of those cables are being used inside the tubes which house them, with 61 strands of 5/8-inch cable being used on the latest pour. The tubes which house the cables have spirals on their exteriors to combat ice and wind. The width of the new bridge will be 74.08 feet, compared to the width of the existing bridge which has a 20-foot span from curb to curb. The new bridge will be I,852.5 1 feet long while the existing bridge is I ,847.75 long. Iron false work under the Ohio tower , and ramp 1s ~ .

He also pointed out the bridge was designed with truck traffic in mind and purposefully doesn't have the incline the existing bridge does. · Betzing added at this point, weather permitting, ODOT is still hopeful to have traffic on the new Beth SergenUpholo bridge by the end of the year.
