' . BY JtM SALTER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ST. LOUIS ~ Turns out he really does just keep going and going. The Energizer Bunny, tlie symbol of battery maker Energizer Holdings Inc., debuted in commercials in 1989 and has , well , kept going ever since. Now entering · his 20th year, the advertising icon has become famous enough that people who persevere beyond reasonable expectation are o.ften referred to, or - call themselves, · the "Energi_zer Bunny," Amo'!g the many references from ·politicians: • In 1996, Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, then 72, dismissed concerns about his age, saying: "I'm like the Energizer Bunny. We've got a Jot of Juice le(t in our · generation.' · ' • With his 2004 presidential campaign floun dering, Democratic candi-. date Howard Dean promised reporters to·keep "going and going and going and going and going - just like the Energizer Bunny." . .- In 2005, former President George H.W. Bush said of fonfler ·President Bill Clinton as they traveled together to raise funds for victims of the Asian tsunami, "You ·should have seen him going, . town to town, country to. country, Energizer Bunny here." The pink bunny, always pounding a drum, always wearing sunglasses and flip-flops, made his debut in ail· October 1989 ad in which he marched off the set as the stage- manager implored, "Stop the bunny. please ." The bunny soon showed • up in a series of parody commerci.als for prOducts such as wine, coffee and long-distance phone service, always banging the drum into the fOmmercial to mterrupt . . Two decades [arer, he is still going strong. . · "It became· an advertising icon," Neal Bums, an advertising professor &I the University of Texas , • said Friday. "They found a meaningful and differenti 'ating position within the catego.ry that is .important to the consumer, and v.:hat's important for a battery is that it's long-lasting, it just keeps going." To mark the start of his 20th year, a .40-foot -tall bunny float took part in the Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York and kept ~oing down 34th Street wh1le other participants made ·a right onto 7th Avenue . The ad agency DDB Needhifm Worldwide Inc . came up with the idea of the drum-beating bunny. In · a recent advertisingrelated stildy,. 95 percent of respondents were aware of the bunny. AdAge .com has named it one of the top 10 advertising icons . And in 2006, the Oxford English Dictionary defined the Energizer Bunny as' "a persistent or indefatigable person or "phenomenon." That same year, St. Louis-based Energizer began its Keep Going Hall of Fame to ho.nor people with a tenacious spirit. "The message of the Energizer Bunny has remamed consistent over the last two decades," said Ward Klein. chief. executive officer of Energizer. "He speaks to longevit)l.. determination .and perseverance. He personifies the American spirit." Do you suffer from severe '•" Reflux -or heartburn?

' . BY JtM SALTER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ST. LOUIS ~ Turns out he really does just keep going and going. The Energizer Bunny, tlie symbol of battery maker Energizer Holdings Inc., debuted in commercials in 1989 and has , well , kept going ever since. Now entering · his 20th year, the advertising icon has become famous enough that people who persevere beyond reasonable expectation are o.ften referred to, or - call themselves, · the "Energi_zer Bunny," Amo'!g the many references from ·politicians: • In 1996, Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, then 72, dismissed concerns about his age, saying: "I'm like the Energizer Bunny. We've got a Jot of Juice le(t in our · generation.' · ' • With his 2004 presidential campaign floun dering, Democratic candi-. date Howard Dean promised reporters to·keep "going and going and going and going and going - just like the Energizer Bunny." . .- In 2005, former President George H.W. Bush said of fonfler ·President Bill Clinton as they traveled together to raise funds for victims of the Asian tsunami, "You ·should have seen him going, . town to town, country to. country, Energizer Bunny here." The pink bunny, always pounding a drum, always wearing sunglasses and flip-flops, made his debut in ail· October 1989 ad in which he marched off the set as the stage- manager implored, "Stop the bunny. please ." The bunny soon showed • up in a series of parody commerci.als for prOducts such as wine, coffee and long-distance phone service, always banging the drum into the fOmmercial to mterrupt . . Two decades [arer, he is still going strong. . · "It became· an advertising icon," Neal Bums, an advertising professor &I the University of Texas , • said Friday. "They found a meaningful and differenti 'ating position within the catego.ry that is .important to the consumer, and v.:hat's important for a battery is that it's long-lasting, it just keeps going." To mark the start of his 20th year, a .40-foot -tall bunny float took part in the Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York and kept ~oing down 34th Street wh1le other participants made ·a right onto 7th Avenue . The ad agency DDB Needhifm Worldwide Inc . came up with the idea of the drum-beating bunny. In · a recent advertisingrelated stildy,. 95 percent of respondents were aware of the bunny. AdAge .com has named it one of the top 10 advertising icons . And in 2006, the Oxford English Dictionary defined the Energizer Bunny as' "a persistent or indefatigable person or "phenomenon." That same year, St. Louis-based Energizer began its Keep Going Hall of Fame to ho.nor people with a tenacious spirit. "The message of the Energizer Bunny has remamed consistent over the last two decades," said Ward Klein. chief. executive officer of Energizer. "He speaks to longevit)l.. determination .and perseverance. He personifies the American spirit." Do you suffer from severe '•" Reflux -or heartburn?

Woods is the world's most :marketable - athlete with an ·estimated $100 million :endorsements a year. If his agreement with one of the world's most aqive sports sponsors dissolved, some experts wonder if any endorsement or ·sponsorship deal is really ironclad in these tough times. · "The real story here isn't Tiger," says Marc Ganis, the president of Sponscorp Ltd .. a Chicago-based sports consulting tirm. "It's the auto indus, try.... There are a lot of parties who are going to have some difficulties finding sponsors to substirute fm what the auto industry used to provide." . LeBron James ($28 million in endorsements according to Sports Illustrated's 2007 figures); Peyton Manning ($ 13 million) and those in the topcircle elite don't have so much to worry about because, like Woods. they have multiple deals .spread over several mdustries. As for everyone else well, Ganis figures they will feel the pain. If money from the auto mdustry and financial world dries up, athletes and events that are lower in the pecking order·will get thirsty. "You've just got to be muoh more creative," said Evan Morgenstein, an a,gent for gymnast Nastia Liukm, swimmer Dara Torres and other Olympic athletes. · Morgenstein says sponsors have become so fidgety that his phone actually rings more on days the stock market is doing well, Jess when it's not. "I think for the fu;st and second quarter of 2009, it's going to be tenuous at best," he said. "It's more about cold caUing, contacting people, pitching idea~. There s some stuff that rna~ not actually close , but we ve got to look at this as building for the next four years.'' Calls to the representlltives of atxiut a half-dozen topname athletes and their a~~ts by The Associated ss showed that Woods and those in his stmtosphere will have very httle trouble making endorsement money, even m·a rough economy. Manning is spread into, a number of industries - cell phones, Satellite TV, electronICS. credit cards.

Diabetes in pregnancy tied to birth defects BY PATTY TOLER, RN WOMEN'S 1-!EALTH SERVICES PROGRAM PROJECT DIRECTOR GALLIA COUNTY HEALTff DEPAR'I'MENT Diabetic women who get pregnant are three to four times more likely to have a child with birth defects than women without diabetes, according to new government research. The study is the largest of its kind and provides the most detailed mforrnation to date on types of birth defects that mfants of diabetic mothers have, including .heart defects, missing kidneys and spine deformities. The study lists nearly 40 types of birth defects found to be significantly more common in the infants of diabetic mothers than in those· who weren 't diabetic or who were diagnosed with diabetes after they became pregnant. The study's list of diabetic-associated birth defects is surprising - it's much longer than was previously understood, according to the March of Dimes. It adds more infor, mation about the specific types of birth defects associated with pregestational diabetes and · gestational diabetes. This is a new study just released from the Center For Disease .Control. Birth defects affect one in 33 babies born in the United States , and cause about one in five inf&nt deaths. The cause of most birth defects isn't known but some risk factors include obesity, alcohol, smoking and infections. Doctors have known for decades about the threat diabetes poses to pregnancies. Past research has focused on dangers to the infant by the extra amounts of glucose-sugarcirculating in the womb of the diabetic mother. Studies with rats and mice clearly show high levels of glucose is harmful to fetal tissue development. · The new study draws from the · birth records between 1997to date in 10 states. The study focused on 13 ,000 births involving a major birth defect. and compared them to nearly 5 .000 ·randomly· selected healthy births from the same locations.

Diabetes in pregnancy tied to birth defects BY PATTY TOLER, RN WOMEN'S 1-!EALTH SERVICES PROGRAM PROJECT DIRECTOR GALLIA COUNTY HEALTff DEPAR'I'MENT Diabetic women who get pregnant are three to four times more likely to have a child with birth defects than women without diabetes, according to new government research. The study is the largest of its kind and provides the most detailed mforrnation to date on types of birth defects that mfants of diabetic mothers have, including .heart defects, missing kidneys and spine deformities. The study lists nearly 40 types of birth defects found to be significantly more common in the infants of diabetic mothers than in those· who weren 't diabetic or who were diagnosed with diabetes after they became pregnant. The study's list of diabetic-associated birth defects is surprising - it's much longer than was previously understood, according to the March of Dimes. It adds more infor, mation about the specific types of birth defects associated with pregestational diabetes and · gestational diabetes. This is a new study just released from the Center For Disease .Control. Birth defects affect one in 33 babies born in the United States , and cause about one in five inf&nt deaths. The cause of most birth defects isn't known but some risk factors include obesity, alcohol, smoking and infections. Doctors have known for decades about the threat diabetes poses to pregnancies. Past research has focused on dangers to the infant by the extra amounts of glucose-sugarcirculating in the womb of the diabetic mother. Studies with rats and mice clearly show high levels of glucose is harmful to fetal tissue development. · The new study draws from the · birth records between 1997to date in 10 states. The study focused on 13 ,000 births involving a major birth defect. and compared them to nearly 5 .000 ·randomly· selected healthy births from the same locations. Mothers were asked if they had been diagnosed with diabetes before or during their. pregnancy. The researchers said those who were diagnosed while pregnant either had a temporary, pregnancy-induced condition called gestational diabetes or had diabetes · that had gone undiagnosed until they were pregnant.

Cooke Aquaculture has adopted a number of changes, including prevent· ing the growth of pathogens that cause deadly illness in fish by allowing saltwater pens to lie fallow ilfter fish are harvested. The company also has upgraded the netting at its pen• to keep predators such as seals and birds from get· ting in and the salmon from getting out.

AP photo This undated photo provided by The Chile Pepper Institute NMSU shows a NuMex Christmas ornamental chile plant The ornamental NuMex line is built primarily around the ancient Capsicum pepper species, a shrub native to South and Central America that exhibits a wide range of desirable traits. Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio :; o ( I '\ I ~ • \ " I. :;H. '\ " · Bv DEAN FosotcK Paul Bosland is a pepper plant breeder whose spectalty adds zest and dazzle to the holidays. So far, he's introduced ornamental chile. plants for Halloween (orange and black · fiuit) , Thanksgiving (creamcolored pods that turn orange), Christmas (red and green), St. Patrick's Day (green · and orange) and Valentine's Day (cream to pink to red). In the works hybrid-wise for launch in 2009 lW multi-. colored pepper varieties commemorating the Chinese New Year (burnished orange) and Cinco de Mayo (yellow to red). The ornamental NuMex line developed by Bosland is built primarily around the ancient Capsicum pepper species, a shrub native to South and Central America that exhibit~ a wide range of desirable traits. Bosland assembles decorative new cultivars from a small group of parent plants having different colors and shapes and the promise of high yields and low maintenance. All produce nectar-rich blooms before they fruit, making them excellent border plants or attr<Jetive choices for potting. "(Commercial) greenhouse growers were looking for additional plants to grow during the major holidays, like Mother's Day and Christmas," said Bosland, a horticulture professor at New Mexico State University and director of the school's Chile Pepper Institute. . "By associating the diflerent color combinations to other holidays, I am hoping that it helps marketing and Sales." · : While these ·multicolored chilies aren't likely to replace poinsettias as Ute lop-selling holiday plant, Utey are a hot option, Bosland said. Ornamental chile peppers are stunning as they flower and again as the fruit ripens . Chilies bring a different look to flower gardens - -unique · and eye-catching when placed alongside more traditional !lowers or when displayed alone in containers. The plants also are droughttolerant. "Tiley are as easy to grow as a potted mum,and if someone wanted, they could be kept alive for years," Bosland said., "Those that have the dwarf gene make a good indoor plant as long as you put them by a bright window. · But varieties that get kind.of tall do better outside, in sunny gardens." The popularity of these !lowering vegetables has been increasing, · but should gain momentum next year when they begin arriving at such national retail chains as Lowe's and Wai-Mart, said Travis Knoop, special pro-~cts ' manager at Metrolina ·Greenhouses in Huntersville. N.C, . . .."'fhere?s more ofa dernand for !hem now, with people asking for a heat tolerant plant that's also very showy," said Knoop, who studied under Bosland at New Mexico State. "Their fruit la~L~ longer tban any flower for the money. People new to these pepper plants are usually pleased with the outcomes.'' Ornamental peppers are frost-sensitive and generally grow best ' when planted in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. . They perform as soft perennials in frost-free zones, I Knoop said. "Although they self-sow. it's best to buy new plants off !he shelf each year for more consistency," he said. Their drying ability is another plus, said Janie Lamson , whose Cross Country . Nurseries at Rosemont , N.J .. turns out some 500 pepper varieties. "You can cut a whole branch of them and they will dry and display well on a wall or h'l!lging from the ceiling." Lamson said. "A lot of pe~ple use them for table arrangements. A great many display Utem in the workplace. "They're thin-skinned. When you want to use them to spice up some food, they will crumble easily in your tingars." All peppers are suitable for eating - fresh or dried, whole or ground. "t>u me of the potted peppers will be marked 'For Ornamental Use Only: but only because they 've been sprayed with something not for use on· edible crops." Lamson said. "If you grow your own, they're edible." But for the most part, the ornamentals ate raised primarily for. their del)se , multi- . branched foliage and colorful fruit "Ornamental chilies can have all the colors of the rainbow, often displaying pods in four or five (,"Olors . on the same plant at the same time," Bosland said. They long have been called "Christmas peppers" because of Uteir bright red fruits during the holiday season, he said . Wreaths made from dehydrated peppers are popular in the Southwest and are a major tourist product there . "A tradition in New Mexico is to harvest mature ·red chilies and string them into colorful strings (ristras)," Bosland said. "The ristra is hung near the entrance of the house as a symbol ofhospitidity. Ornamental chilies have become an innovative way for small farmers to produce a high-value alternative crop." \ ] ( ) ' J) \ \ . 1" 1 '""" "" d.oil~ ""lltin<•l.•·um I 1 H 1·.

The second reading of the Emergency . Service Cost Reimbursement Ordinance was heard and passed, · meaning one more reading and vote iS-required for the ordinance t'd become effective on Jan .

The ordinance will allow the Pomeroy Fire Department to seek reimbursement for "fjre, safety and rescue, . n;sponses and hazardous material and environmental incidents" it responds to outside the village. · ' The ordinance doesn't affect those liv'ing in lhe village whose taxes pay to finance the department. However, if Pomeroy respon<!J; to a call outside village limits, the ordinance would permit the department to seek recovery for expenses incurred relating to ·personnel hours, use of equipment, etc. At the most recent council meeting , Clerk Treasurer Kathy Hysell told Mayor John Musser she'd re..:eived a call from Middleport Fiscal Officer Susan Baker asking if this mean if Pomeroy was called to assist the Middleport Fire Department outside Pomeroy village lim- · its, if Middleport may be subject to those cost recovery charges. ,.. Although Musser said he wasn't 100 percent .sure, he said he didn't think if Pomeroy had a service/mutual aid agreement with another department (as it does with Middleport) to respond to an accident, that the fee would . be applied. Musser said it was his understanding that · the ordinance was meant for the department to recoup funds for use of its equipment on accident scenes outside the village by billing insurance C()mpanies, not other fire departments.
