Keep the plant warm and add extra peat moss or compost to the potting soil to help the soil mix hold more water. The many gingers are all pretty and tasty Bv LEE REICH FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The finest ginger root is grown in Jamaica, but that's no reason you shouldn ' t give it a try. A ginger plant is easy enough to get started. Just ·go to the local food market, buy a fresh piece, then pol it up. Ginger is native to the moist forests of tropical Asia, so keep the plant warm and add extra peat moss or compost to the potting soil to help the soil mix hold more water. Put the plant in a bright window where it will get about the same amount of light that it does in the dappled shade of those Asian forests. Make adjustments a the sun grows stronger in spring and summer. Reedy shoots lined with strappy leaves eventually poke up from a piece of planted ginger. That piece of ginger is actually a fattened underground shoot, called a rhizome by botanists. Even if you never harvest it, ginger makes a nice houseplant, tropical in appearance. Harvest can begin as soon as five months after planting, but longer is needed for the rhizomes to fully plump up. No need to unearth the whole plant; just poke into the soil with a knife and take what you need. If you would rather grow ginger outdoors, in the : ground, go ahead but instead plant one of our native plants called "gingers," which are cold-hardy. They' re popular ornamentals having heart or kidneyshaped leaves that, depending on the species, are soft and woolly or else glossy green. These native gingers aren't even distantly related to tropical ginger, but they share a number of similarities. The natives enjoy dappled shade and moist soils, and remain evergreen if winters ' aren't too cold. These natives also have that distinctive pungent ginger ·aroma and flavor that goes well with just about everything: meats, vegetables, desserts, drinks. Ginger also has long been used medicinally. It has been used as a stimulant, carminative and expecwrant; even today, many people sip ginger ale to calm an upset stomach. Crystallized ginger makes a nice nibble, a natural candy that is sweet and spicy. You can make crystallized ginger from the rhizomes of either tropical or cold-hardy gingers. To do so, boil rhizome pieces in water until they softl!n, then add a volume of sugar equal to the volume of roots plus water, and boil again until the roots are translucent. Drain off the excess liquid - you can use it as a ginger syrup - then roll the root pieces in sugar. BY LEE REICH FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It's the cold season, and mice have been seeking bed and board, which is not good for our plants. You may already have seen evidence of their gnawing at the base of some small tree. Mostly, it is meadow mice - also known as meadow voles or field mice - that do damage. They're most at home in tall grass where they can feed, nest and scamper about shielded from the eyes of hungry hawks, owls and other predators. Unfortunately, from fall to spring, meadow mice like to supplement their diet of grasses and herbs with the bark of trees. The first line of defense is to make your yard inhospitable to meadow mice by mowing your lawn as late and as closely as possible. A few mice will still be brave enough to scoot across your mowed DMZ, so further protection is needed, at least for young trees that mice find most appealing. Cylinders of quarter-inch mesh hardware cloth, paper wraps or plastic tree guards provide good protection. Mice are vegetarians, so also are repelled from bark painted with a diluted mixture of white latex paint and bone meal. Thwarting bark-eating mice does not stop there. Straw, leaves and other organic mulches are beneficial for the soil and for plants but also provide cozy lodging for mice. So hold off spreading these mulches until mice have found other places in which to settle for the winter. And tunnel below ground. even poisons.

But the two condemned men still await death as Iraqi oftlcials decide how to avoid the kind of outcry that followed Saddam's hanging on Dec. 30. Also on Sunday, the U.S. military announced the deaths of five more American troops and at least 14 Iraqis died in bombings and shootings. Saddam 's half brother and former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim and the former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, Awad Hamed ai-Bandar, were sentenced to hang.' They were convicted along with Saddam of involvement in the killings of nearly 150 Shiites in the town of Dujail after a 1982 assassinati(Jn attempt there against Saddam. Their executions were postponed, however, until after the Muslim holiday of Eid ai-Adha, which ended five days ago. Authorities also decided to give Saddam his own "special day," National Security adviser Mouwaffak ai-Rubaie said at the time of his execution. One of Saddam 's lawyers who met the deposed leader in his final days told The Associated Press over the weekend that' Saddam expected to be put to death and considered it "the most beautiful end" he could have. Now Iraqi oftlcials must decide how to carry out a second round of executions in the face of worldwide criticism over their handling of Saddam's death. In the final moment$ of his life, Saddam was taunted by some of those present in the execution chamber as he stood with a noose around his neck. British Prime Minister Tony Blair criticized the · way in which Saddam was executed, his office said Sunday. "He believes that the manner of the execution was completely wrong, but that should not lead us to forget the crimes that Saddam Hussein committed, including the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis," a spokeswoman for Blair's office said on condi. tion of anonymity in line with policy. Blair's likely successor, Treasury chief Gordon Brown, said Saturday that the taunting of Saddam during his execution and the release of an illicitly recorded cell phone video was "deplorable" and "completely unacceptable." Prime Minister Nouri aiMal iki has ordered an inquiry into the emergence of the unofficial video, on which Saddam is heard exchanging insults with his executioners and shown dying on the gallows. In Amman, Jordan's Parliament also denounced the execution and asked God to bless Saddam's soul. The speaker of the lower house said Saddam's execution ignored the feelin'gs of Muslims and Arabs because it came just before the start of the religious festival of Eid al-Adha. · Human Rights Watch, in a report for release · on Monday, said the speedy trial and subsequent execution of Saddam and those planned for Ibrahim and alBandar illustrated the Iraqi government's disregard for human rights. "The tribunal repeatedly showed its disregard for the fundamental due process rights of all of the defendants," said Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch's International Justice Program. ..

'J9e accident happened at about 3:45 p.m. near the underground Mount Vernon Square station, which serves two lines beneath the Washington Convention Center, Metro spokesw~man Cathy Asato said. T~ere were about 150 people on the train. At least one person had a serious but not life-threatening injury, Asato said. The other injuries were mostly "bumps and bruises," and one of those with minor injuries was pregnant. Part of the six-car train had pulled into the station when the fifth car left the track and hit the tunnel wall, Asato said. All the cars remained upright. Glass and metal were strewn through the tunnel, and the fifth car had significant damage, said Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein. The concrete tunnel wall also appeared to be damaged, but it was unclear how significant the wall damage was or whether the track was damaged. About 60 people in the last two cars had to wait about 45 minutes for firefighters to reach them and escort them through the tunnel on a catwalk. Passengers in the first four cars were able to exit on .their own through the front two cars, whtch were already at the station platform, Asato said. There was no fire, Asato said. An investigation was under way. Witnesses said peo~le started to panic when the SIXcar train began shaking, and some passengers began running to the back of the train. "I was in a cab that actually shattered - the front part of it - those windows tn between the two cars," said rider Lauren Sprigg.

CLEVELAND (AP)- A woman says she was persuaded to give up custody of her four children by a social worker who secretly dated and later married her ex-husband. Rochelle Kidd and her lawyer are asking a judge (o review how social worker Na'Sheema Hillmon handled the case. Kidd, 31 , was so convinced by conversations with the sooial worker that her ex-husband was going to gain custody of the kids that she agreed to it, said attorney Josh Bamhizer. His client wants a chance to get her children back and deserves to know if Hillman influenced county officials in the custody fight, he said. • Hillmon resigned from the :,~uyahoga County : Department of Children and t Family Services after the !- llepartment found out about : the marriage.

But the two condemned men still await death as Iraqi oftlcials decide how to avoid the kind of outcry that followed Saddam's hanging on Dec. 30. Also on Sunday, the U.S. military announced the deaths of five more American troops and at least 14 Iraqis died in bombings and shootings. Saddam 's half brother and former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim and the former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, Awad Hamed ai-Bandar, were sentenced to hang.' They were convicted along with Saddam of involvement in the killings of nearly 150 Shiites in the town of Dujail after a 1982 assassinati(Jn attempt there against Saddam. Their executions were postponed, however, until after the Muslim holiday of Eid ai-Adha, which ended five days ago. Authorities also decided to give Saddam his own "special day," National Security adviser Mouwaffak ai-Rubaie said at the time of his execution. One of Saddam 's lawyers who met the deposed leader in his final days told The Associated Press over the weekend that' Saddam expected to be put to death and considered it "the most beautiful end" he could have. Now Iraqi oftlcials must decide how to carry out a second round of executions in the face of worldwide criticism over their handling of Saddam's death. In the final moment$ of his life, Saddam was taunted by some of those present in the execution chamber as he stood with a noose around his neck. British Prime Minister Tony Blair criticized the · way in which Saddam was executed, his office said Sunday. "He believes that the manner of the execution was completely wrong, but that should not lead us to forget the crimes that Saddam Hussein committed, including the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis," a spokeswoman for Blair's office said on condi. tion of anonymity in line with policy. Blair's likely successor, Treasury chief Gordon Brown, said Saturday that the taunting of Saddam during his execution and the release of an illicitly recorded cell phone video was "deplorable" and "completely unacceptable." Prime Minister Nouri aiMal iki has ordered an inquiry into the emergence of the unofficial video, on which Saddam is heard exchanging insults with his executioners and shown dying on the gallows. In Amman, Jordan's Parliament also denounced the execution and asked God to bless Saddam's soul. The speaker of the lower house said Saddam's execution ignored the feelin'gs of Muslims and Arabs because it came just before the start of the religious festival of Eid al-Adha. · Human Rights Watch, in a report for release · on Monday, said the speedy trial and subsequent execution of Saddam and those planned for Ibrahim and alBandar illustrated the Iraqi government's disregard for human rights. "The tribunal repeatedly showed its disregard for the fundamental due process rights of all of the defendants," said Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch's International Justice Program. ..

'J9e accident happened at about 3:45 p.m. near the underground Mount Vernon Square station, which serves two lines beneath the Washington Convention Center, Metro spokesw~man Cathy Asato said. T~ere were about 150 people on the train. At least one person had a serious but not life-threatening injury, Asato said. The other injuries were mostly "bumps and bruises," and one of those with minor injuries was pregnant. Part of the six-car train had pulled into the station when the fifth car left the track and hit the tunnel wall, Asato said. All the cars remained upright. Glass and metal were strewn through the tunnel, and the fifth car had significant damage, said Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein. The concrete tunnel wall also appeared to be damaged, but it was unclear how significant the wall damage was or whether the track was damaged. About 60 people in the last two cars had to wait about 45 minutes for firefighters to reach them and escort them through the tunnel on a catwalk. Passengers in the first four cars were able to exit on .their own through the front two cars, whtch were already at the station platform, Asato said. There was no fire, Asato said. An investigation was under way. Witnesses said peo~le started to panic when the SIXcar train began shaking, and some passengers began running to the back of the train. "I was in a cab that actually shattered - the front part of it - those windows tn between the two cars," said rider Lauren Sprigg. Service on two hoes was halted in both directions around the station, and Hensley, the only boy taking part. Hensley had opened for Kenny Chesney at a performance in Columbus.

The Republicans. in fact, outdid the Democrats in the pork-barrel game - pushing so-called earmarked spending provisions to record levels. Bush did not veto any of their big spending bills. But there is another pan of his domestic record that needs to be taken into account to get a true measure of his presidency thus far - initiatives his critics rarely mention when they charge he has betrayed conservative principles. The biggest fiscal achievement of his presidency is the $1.7 trillion in tax cuts that helped the U.S. economy overcome the blows inflicted by the 9/11 attacks, the corpomte accounting scandals and Hurricane Katrina. Those tax cuts are conservati-.·e free-market economics at its best, and they are the reason why our economy remains - through wars and numerous domestic disasters - the strongest and most affluent in the world. No conservative reform is bigger than the idea of privatizing Socia.! Security, a revolutionary notion that most Republican leaders were afraid to embrace. Bush not only proposed it but he ran for president on its merits and traveled around the country arguing for its implementation. That he did not succeed is beside the point. He was willing to spend a lot of his political capital for a gigantic conservative idea: freeing workers to invest some of their payroll taxes in stocks and bonds to create wealth. .It's unlikely Bush can resurrect his proposal in the next two years, but he has bold!)' opened a path for a futun: • president to follow anp deserves great credit for the boldness of his attempt to bring down the last pillar af the New Deai welfare state. ·.

Newman ALL BUSINESS: New generation ifga4flies take on governance issues in corporate America·. announcing that Nardelli resigned - a move that investors had hoped for but few thought was likely. While he will take with him a fat severanc~ package worth $210 million, investors cheered his departure and pushed up the stock more than 2 percent to around $41 a share. But it is not just stock prices that can be helped by Improving governance. A study by Moody's Investors Service in 2005 found that large, unexplained bonus and option awards were predictive of both default and . large credit-rating downgrades. One of that study's authors is Ken Bertsch, who was a managing director of corporate governance anal ys is . at Moody's and formerly the director of corporate governance at the money-management firm TIAA-CREF. Last month , he was named an executive director and head of corporate governance at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, which has $448 billion in assets under management. Hi s move may signal the mutual funds managed by the investment firm are · planning a more aggressive stance on governance issues - a big change given that mutual funds almost always passively allow management to govern the way they want. · That comes on the heels of last year's headline-grabbing duel between Morgan Stanley fund manager Ha ssan Elmasry and the New York Times Co. over his calls for reduced control of the newspaper by the Monday, January 8, 2007 Sulzberger family. The investment firm, which owns 7.6 percent of the Times' stock, first witt{- . held its votes for Times directors in protest of the company's two-class share structure, saying it "fosters a lack of accountability" to shareholders. · Then in November, Morgan Stanley submitted a proposal calling for the Times' board to make several changes, including putting its dual-class share structure to a shareholder vote and dividing the roles of company chairman and publisher of the Times' flagship newspaper. Itoth jo~ are currently held by Arthur Sulzberger Jr. The Times has said the Ochs-Sulzberger family won't change the longstanding dual-c lass share structure that .has given it control of the company. Morgan Stanley isn't alone in its increasing interest in corporate governance as a tool in .investment analysis. A survey last year of more than 300 institutional investors by the proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services found that nearlf three out of five investors identified "enhanced investor returns" as an advantage of engaging in corporate governance. · In addition, 63 percent of those surveyed think it will become even more important over the next three years. A new generation of corporate gadflies are certainly steppi ng out, with big money behind their drive . . GALION - Marilyn R.

Polish archbishop quits over ties with communist-era secret police BY RYAN WCAS 4SSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WARSAW, Poland - Warsaw's new archbishop abruptly resigned Sunday over revelations that he cooperated with Poland's communist-era secret p<?lice, stunning worshippers by sadly ytelding the archbishop's throne just minutes before he was to be formally instailed. To cries of "No, no!" and "Stay with us!" in and outside St. John' s Cathedral, a despondent Stanislaw Wielgus read from a letter to Pope Benedict XVI in which he offered hi s resignation "after retlecting deeply and assessing my personal situation ." The Vatican said . Wielgus' past actions had "gravely compromised hi s authority" as one of the top church officials in the late Pope John Paul II 's deeply Roman Catholic homeland. addmg that the 67-year-old priest was right to go "despite his humble and moving request for forgiveness." But hi s withdrawal sparked an uproar among those gathered in the red-brick cathedra.! and crowded outside under umbrellas, most of whom had not heard the Polish church's announcement of the resignation a haif hour earlier. "They stoned the bishop I" an elderly woman outside shouted . In a sign of how the painful revelations have divided believers, Wielgus' words aiso drew applause from the congregation - including President Lech Kaczynski, who~ conservative pany has sought both to purge Poland of the vestiges of communist influence and to strengthen traditional Catholic vaiues.

Wielgus, the newlfappointed archbishop of Warsaw, resigned after admitting he had spied for Poland's communist-era secret servioes, the Vatican's mission in Poland said. John Paul 's staunch opposition to communism is credited with inspiring the rise in the 1980s of Poland's prodemocracy Solidarity movement, which helped end comml!nist rule in 1989. But the country has grappled since his death with a ·string of revelations about respected Catholic figures cooperating with the secret services.

We came to train and that's what we are doing," he said. Being in Korea, where the sights and smells are like nothing ever encountered in the United States, can be an eye opener. "It is definitely different here. The working environment is nice ," Adkins said. "There are plenty of places to go shop·ping and have fun." Even though they have some of the creature comforts of home, being separated from loved ones can make it hard to stay focused on readiness. "Bemg away from family and friends during the holidays doesn't make me very happy. It is hard to be away during the holidays," said Adkins . Although most people consider this to be the "garden spot" assignment in Korea, Adkins and his fellow Marines, know that danger is only minutes away. • Danny Christopher • Derek C.

The disclosure is particularly troubling to many because it shakes a widely held belief that the church acted as a courageous opponent of communism. Secret police agents not only spied on the church, but also brutally murdered a charismatic Warsaw priest tied to Solidarity, the Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko, in 1984. While the Mass was to have marked Wielgus' official installation, he had been archbishop since taking his canonical vows for the post Friday. He previously was bishop of Plock, but it was . not unmediately clear what future role Wielgus might have with the church. Resignations of bishops or archbishops so early in their tenures are virtually unheard of in the Catholic Church. Most bishops forced to quit because of scandal have been in their seat for years. After announcing his resignation, Wielgus removed his glasses and sat down on a chair next to the throne that would have been his as archbishop. Cardinal Jozef Glemp took the top seat instead. Glemp, Poland's top church leader, then delivered a homily defending Wielgus. He called ·him "God's servant" and warned of the dangers of passing judgment based on incomplete and flawed documents left behind by the communist authorities. ''Today a judgment was passed on Bishop Wielgus," said Glemp. "But what kind of judgment was it, based on some documents and shreds of paper photocopied three times over? We do not want such judgments." longtime director and numerous criminal charges against bureau employees and members of Taft's administration. After .the state's probe began, Taft disclosed that he failed to report golf outings and other gifts. He then pleaded no contest to ethics charges in August 2005. He was the first Ohio governor to be charged with a crime while in office. He ended his tenure as one of the most unpopular governors in America. Strickland made no comments elaborating on the executive order, but in a statement released earlier in the evening said, "Recent scandals in Columbus have created the perception that decisions are made to Stewart from PageA1 villages of Middleport, Pomeroy and Glouster that the local residents have been really frustrated with the dramatic rise in the abuse in prescription drugs.

Your locai pharmacy must send to the Board a record of each of your prescriptions for any of these , types of drugs. Each record must contain your name , address, telephone number, date of birth and the following : • Date your doctor or dentist wrote your prescription; • Date your pharmacy filled your prescription; • Repo~ of whether your prescnptton was new or a refill; • Name, strength. and national code of the drug; • Quantity of the drug; • Number of days' supply of the drug : • Serial or prescription number assigned to your prescription: 01nd • Method of payment for the prescription. whether through insurance or with cash. According to the OSBA the Ohio Board of Pharmacy can release any database information it reward political friends instead of making decisions that are best for Ohio." About a third of Ohio voters who had backed Bush in 2004 supported Strickiand, who sent a pro-Christian, pro-gun . message that appealed to many swing voters. Strickland has pledged to work with Republicans in the Legislature and against the divisiveness that consumed the state amid scan·dal and one-pany rule. As both an ordained Methodist minister and a psychologist who has taught college, Strickland also joins only a few Ohio governors who have been in either the clergy or academia, according to research by the Ohio Historical Society. chooses, but only to a desig' nated representative of a government entity responsible for licensing, regulating or disciplining licensed health ·care professionals authorized to prescribe drugs (e.g., the Board. of Medicine or the Board of Dentistry); any local; state or federal officer whose duties include drug-related law enforcement; a grand jury, if such records are subpoenaed; any pharmacist or prescriber who signs a form saying access to the information is needed for a patient's medical or pharmaceutical treatment; and an individual seeking his/her own database information . Stewart said this week's meeting in Nelsonville will show law enforcement the benefits of the database and how it can track someone who is, for example, getting prescriptions filled at a "half-dozen pharmacies for the ' same ailments" and then turning around and sellin~ them. "Th1s system is supposed to track that," Stewart added. "Members of the Ohio Board of Pharmacy are coming down to the meeting to explain to law enforcement how to go about gaining access to the database thereby hopefully giving them additional tools to fight misuse." . •JIIBIIn~ ..... • ....,..

The Republicans. in fact, outdid the Democrats in the pork-barrel game - pushing so-called earmarked spending provisions to record levels. Bush did not veto any of their big spending bills. But there is another pan of his domestic record that needs to be taken into account to get a true measure of his presidency thus far - initiatives his critics rarely mention when they charge he has betrayed conservative principles. The biggest fiscal achievement of his presidency is the $1.7 trillion in tax cuts that helped the U.S. economy overcome the blows inflicted by the 9/11 attacks, the corpomte accounting scandals and Hurricane Katrina. Those tax cuts are conservati-.·e free-market economics at its best, and they are the reason why our economy remains - through wars and numerous domestic disasters - the strongest and most affluent in the world. No conservative reform is bigger than the idea of privatizing Socia.! Security, a revolutionary notion that most Republican leaders were afraid to embrace. Bush not only proposed it but he ran for president on its merits and traveled around the country arguing for its implementation. That he did not succeed is beside the point. He was willing to spend a lot of his political capital for a gigantic conservative idea: freeing workers to invest some of their payroll taxes in stocks and bonds to create wealth. .It's unlikely Bush can resurrect his proposal in the next two years, but he has bold!)' opened a path for a futun: • president to follow anp deserves great credit for the boldness of his attempt to bring down the last pillar af the New Deai welfare state. ·.

Newman ALL BUSINESS: New generation ifga4flies take on governance issues in corporate America·. announcing that Nardelli resigned - a move that investors had hoped for but few thought was likely. While he will take with him a fat severanc~ package worth $210 million, investors cheered his departure and pushed up the stock more than 2 percent to around $41 a share. But it is not just stock prices that can be helped by Improving governance. A study by Moody's Investors Service in 2005 found that large, unexplained bonus and option awards were predictive of both default and . large credit-rating downgrades. One of that study's authors is Ken Bertsch, who was a managing director of corporate governance anal ys is . at Moody's and formerly the director of corporate governance at the money-management firm TIAA-CREF. Last month , he was named an executive director and head of corporate governance at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, which has $448 billion in assets under management. Hi s move may signal the mutual funds managed by the investment firm are · planning a more aggressive stance on governance issues - a big change given that mutual funds almost always passively allow management to govern the way they want. · That comes on the heels of last year's headline-grabbing duel between Morgan Stanley fund manager Ha ssan Elmasry and the New York Times Co. over his calls for reduced control of the newspaper by the Monday, January 8, 2007 Sulzberger family. The investment firm, which owns 7.6 percent of the Times' stock, first witt{- . held its votes for Times directors in protest of the company's two-class share structure, saying it "fosters a lack of accountability" to shareholders. · Then in November, Morgan Stanley submitted a proposal calling for the Times' board to make several changes, including putting its dual-class share structure to a shareholder vote and dividing the roles of company chairman and publisher of the Times' flagship newspaper. Itoth jo~ are currently held by Arthur Sulzberger Jr. The Times has said the Ochs-Sulzberger family won't change the longstanding dual-c lass share structure that .has given it control of the company. Morgan Stanley isn't alone in its increasing interest in corporate governance as a tool in .investment analysis. A survey last year of more than 300 institutional investors by the proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services found that nearlf three out of five investors identified "enhanced investor returns" as an advantage of engaging in corporate governance. · In addition, 63 percent of those surveyed think it will become even more important over the next three years. A new generation of corporate gadflies are certainly steppi ng out, with big money behind their drive . . GALION - Marilyn R.

Polish archbishop quits over ties with communist-era secret police BY RYAN WCAS 4SSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WARSAW, Poland - Warsaw's new archbishop abruptly resigned Sunday over revelations that he cooperated with Poland's communist-era secret p<?lice, stunning worshippers by sadly ytelding the archbishop's throne just minutes before he was to be formally instailed. To cries of "No, no!" and "Stay with us!" in and outside St. John' s Cathedral, a despondent Stanislaw Wielgus read from a letter to Pope Benedict XVI in which he offered hi s resignation "after retlecting deeply and assessing my personal situation ." The Vatican said . Wielgus' past actions had "gravely compromised hi s authority" as one of the top church officials in the late Pope John Paul II 's deeply Roman Catholic homeland. addmg that the 67-year-old priest was right to go "despite his humble and moving request for forgiveness." But hi s withdrawal sparked an uproar among those gathered in the red-brick cathedra.! and crowded outside under umbrellas, most of whom had not heard the Polish church's announcement of the resignation a haif hour earlier. "They stoned the bishop I" an elderly woman outside shouted . In a sign of how the painful revelations have divided believers, Wielgus' words aiso drew applause from the congregation - including President Lech Kaczynski, who~ conservative pany has sought both to purge Poland of the vestiges of communist influence and to strengthen traditional Catholic vaiues.

Wielgus, the newlfappointed archbishop of Warsaw, resigned after admitting he had spied for Poland's communist-era secret servioes, the Vatican's mission in Poland said. John Paul 's staunch opposition to communism is credited with inspiring the rise in the 1980s of Poland's prodemocracy Solidarity movement, which helped end comml!nist rule in 1989. But the country has grappled since his death with a ·string of revelations about respected Catholic figures cooperating with the secret services.

"It is definitely different here. The working environment is nice ," Adkins said. "There are plenty of places to go shop·ping and have fun." Even though they have some of the creature comforts of home, being separated from loved ones can make it hard to stay focused on readiness. "Bemg away from family and friends during the holidays doesn't make me very happy. It is hard to be away during the holidays," said Adkins .

Secret police agents not only spied on the church, but also brutally murdered a charismatic Warsaw priest tied to Solidarity, the Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko, in 1984. While the Mass was to have marked Wielgus' official installation, he had been archbishop since taking his canonical vows for the post Friday. He previously was bishop of Plock, but it was . not unmediately clear what future role Wielgus might have with the church. Resignations of bishops or archbishops so early in their tenures are virtually unheard of in the Catholic Church. Most bishops forced to quit because of scandal have been in their seat for years. After announcing his resignation, Wielgus removed his glasses and sat down on a chair next to the throne that would have been his as archbishop. Cardinal Jozef Glemp took the top seat instead. Glemp, Poland's top church leader, then delivered a homily defending Wielgus. He called ·him "God's servant" and warned of the dangers of passing judgment based on incomplete and flawed documents left behind by the communist authorities. ''Today a judgment was passed on Bishop Wielgus," said Glemp. "But what kind of judgment was it, based on some documents and shreds of paper photocopied three times over? We do not want such judgments." longtime director and numerous criminal charges against bureau employees and members of Taft's administration. After .the state's probe began, Taft disclosed that he failed to report golf outings and other gifts. He then pleaded no contest to ethics charges in August 2005. He was the first Ohio governor to be charged with a crime while in office. He ended his tenure as one of the most unpopular governors in America. Strickland made no comments elaborating on the executive order, but in a statement released earlier in the evening said, "Recent scandals in Columbus have created the perception that decisions are made to Stewart from PageA1 villages of Middleport, Pomeroy and Glouster that the local residents have been really frustrated with the dramatic rise in the abuse in prescription drugs.

(;odeine, Vicodin, Percocet, Adderall, and Ritalin) and even some noncontrolled substances (Soma and Ultram) to the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy. Your locai pharmacy must send to the Board a record of each of your prescriptions for any of these , types of drugs. Each record must contain your name , address, telephone number, date of birth and the following : • Date your doctor or dentist wrote your prescription; • Date your pharmacy filled your prescription; • Repo~ of whether your prescnptton was new or a refill; • Name, strength. and national code of the drug; • Quantity of the drug; • Number of days' supply of the drug : • Serial or prescription number assigned to your prescription: 01nd • Method of payment for the prescription. whether through insurance or with cash.

About a third of Ohio voters who had backed Bush in 2004 supported Strickiand, who sent a pro-Christian, pro-gun . message that appealed to many swing voters. Strickland has pledged to work with Republicans in the Legislature and against the divisiveness that consumed the state amid scan·dal and one-pany rule.

Stewart said this week's meeting in Nelsonville will show law enforcement the benefits of the database and how it can track someone who is, for example, getting prescriptions filled at a "half-dozen pharmacies for the ' same ailments" and then turning around and sellin~ them. "Th1s system is supposed to track that," Stewart added. "Members of the Ohio Board of Pharmacy are coming down to the meeting to explain to law enforcement how to go about gaining access to the database thereby hopefully giving them additional tools to fight misuse." . •JIIBIIn~ ..... • ....,..

A balanced team effort for Meigs, combined with woefully poor foul shooting by the Tornadoes led to a 50-46 Meigs victory during boys' interdivisional Tri-Valley basketball Conference action in Hayman gymnasium. The third quarter is when the g a m e turned from a hum-drum offensive Poole struggle to a full blown F-5 storm. After Meigs had led for most of the game, Southern broke a 30-30 deadlock in th.e third period to lead 3230 on a Weston Roberts steal and ensu1ng s h o r t jumper with I :30 left in the third frame. Meigs' Roberta Clay Bolin hit the first of a bonus to pull Meigs within one (32-31), then after Southern tried to control the tempo for a last shot, the Tornadoes missed the shot and Bolin cashed in on the other end of the noor for a 33-32 Meigs lead at the buzzer. Prior to this action Meigs David Poole had dominated the third period for the Coach Travts Abbottls club. Poole was the go-to man and Southern couldn't keep the ball out of his hands. Althou$h Poole only had four pomts in the frame, his ability to be swarmed by the Southern defense upon receiving the pass opened the back door from Bolin and Eric Toler who hit key baskets to keep the Marauders afloat. Poole's presence and dish off passes was at the heart of the MHS attack. • The opening portion of th~ founh quarter was an omen for what sealed Southern's fate .

"After driving a truck for a long time, you need a job like this," Owen said. Owen was on board another airmail trip two years ago when a "one in a million" seagull crashed through the plane's windshield. The pilot was all right, but he needed Owen's help to steady th.e controls as he landed the plane. Owen sa1d the event was "no big deal." 'There was a lot of wind and glass coming in," he said. "But once the pressure equalized, and the wind stopped, it was basically the same as a big hunk of concrete coming through a truck's window, but with seagull guts." Last month, as Schirg lowered the two-prop plane onto Kelley's runway, th.e speed of travel became apparent with. th.e blur of every passing tree. The rear wheels touched down, followed by the front, and the brakes slowed the plane to a stop. A minivan pulled up promptly, and Schirg and Owen quickly exchanged bags of letters and packages. Within minutes, they were back onboard and preparing to takeoff for PutIn-Bay, where three times as much mail, befitting the island's more th.an 400 residents, would be unlo&ded. Back in Sandusky, Tom Buffington, 23, of Westlake, was taking off for Isle St. George, which lies just two miles south of the Canadian border. As the youngest pilot in the group, Buffington has logged around I ,500 flight hours, and is steadily making his way up th.e ranks. With fewer residents on Middle Bass and Isle St. George, a smaller plane is used to save on gas, company officials said. There are no mailboxes affixed to homes on Isle of St. George, and there's no ferry business willing to pick up one of the island's 18 residents, but Herma Dopps wasn't surprised when the plane delivers a case of navel oranges from Florida at her doorstep just in time for the I'Jew Year. As island postmaster, Dopps is accustomed and grateful to hear the hum of an aircraft bringing mail to the one-room post office, which is located on the bottom floor of her home. "We depend on the mail here," she said. "Sometimes, it's the only way to stay connected with those on the mainland." 6 6 Cloudy Partty C1oudy ~ "77a Showera '=' ~ :;:::._ ~ ~ ~ ~ ..... ~: BY JOHN ZENOR k>t .:. ~ AWn • * snow ASSOCIATED PRESS •:. ...• . : health and no rules were broken.

Thanks to nailing free th.rows down the stretch the Redmen were able to avoid that fourth league defeat with a hard fou~ht 83-78 win over the visitmg Pioneers. Rio Grande (8-1 0, 3-3 AMCS) stormed out the gate, surging to a 10-3 lead thanks to a couple of threepointers from sophomore guard Brett Beucler.

A new era of college football begins Monday night with No. I Ohio State and No. 2 Florida playing a game that's grown too big to be called a bowl. A week after New Year's Day, after all the bowls have been played, the Buckeyes and Gators meet in the first BCS national championship game. "It's th.e Super Bowl of college football and I think college football needed that," Gators coach Urban Meyer said Sunday. What the bigger - if not better Bowl Championship Series got for its new showcase event is a I vs. 2 matchup th.at had many skeptical at first about its le$itimacy. Hetsman Trophy winner Troy Smith and the Buckeyes (12-0) were a nobrainer. The Big Ten cham- pions have been No. I since the preseason, and already have a pair of victories against teams ranked No. 2. "You know the only time we thought for sure that we were going to be in the national championship is when that game (against Michigan) ended Nov. 18 because we knew going in you have to win them all," said Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, seeking his second national title in ljjs sixth season with the Buckeyes. But Florida? The Gators ( 12-1) lived on the edge, navigating a brutal Southeastern Conference schedule by orchestrating ~reat escapes. several Blocked kicks, late rallies and a healthy dose of trickery- Florida used it all. It's enough to make some say good fonune has been the Gators' best friend. They see it another way. "We don't really believe in destiny," defensive tackle Ray McDonald. "We believe when your number's called you make that play." Still, Florida needed help to get here. Southern California's loss to UCLA on the last day of the regular season opened the door for Florida, and a sea change among poll voters allowed the Gators to jumr over Michigan in the fina BCS standings - and into a matchup with the Buckeyes. Then USC helped out Florida again, pounding the Wolverines in the Rose_ Bowl last week and removing any questions about whether the winner of ·Monday's night game at shiny new University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale should be national champion.

A balanced team effort for Meigs, combined with woefully poor foul shooting by the Tornadoes led to a 50-46 Meigs victory during boys' interdivisional Tri-Valley basketball Conference action in Hayman gymnasium. The third quarter is when the g a m e turned from a hum-drum offensive Poole struggle to a full blown F-5 storm. After Meigs had led for most of the game, Southern broke a 30-30 deadlock in th.e third period to lead 3230 on a Weston Roberts steal and ensu1ng s h o r t jumper with I :30 left in the third frame. Meigs' Roberta Clay Bolin hit the first of a bonus to pull Meigs within one (32-31), then after Southern tried to control the tempo for a last shot, the Tornadoes missed the shot and Bolin cashed in on the other end of the noor for a 33-32 Meigs lead at the buzzer. Prior to this action Meigs David Poole had dominated the third period for the Coach Travts Abbottls club. Poole was the go-to man and Southern couldn't keep the ball out of his hands. Althou$h Poole only had four pomts in the frame, his ability to be swarmed by the Southern defense upon receiving the pass opened the back door from Bolin and Eric Toler who hit key baskets to keep the Marauders afloat. Poole's presence and dish off passes was at the heart of the MHS attack. • The opening portion of th~ founh quarter was an omen for what sealed Southern's fate . Good aggressive defense from the Marauders and a physical, dominating presence put Southern in the early bonus.

The 25-year-old from Sandusky has more than 2,000 flight hours, and is one of a number of young pilots at Griffing Aying Service, making the successful transition from aviation school graduate to professional pilot. As the only company contracted by the U.S. Postal Service to collect and .deliver mall to four coastal islands, Griffing is responsible for transporting the mail . from Port Clinton to each island once a day. th.at the view of Sandusky Bay's murky waters deepening into a chalkboard green isn't a bad perk. "After driving a truck for a long time, you need a job like this," Owen said. Owen was on board another airmail trip two years ago when a "one in a million" seagull crashed through the plane's windshield. The pilot was all right, but he needed Owen's help to steady th.e controls as he landed the plane. Owen sa1d the event was "no big deal." 'There was a lot of wind and glass coming in," he said. "But once the pressure equalized, and the wind stopped, it was basically the same as a big hunk of concrete coming through a truck's window, but with seagull guts." Last month, as Schirg lowered the two-prop plane onto Kelley's runway, th.e speed of travel became apparent with. th.e blur of every passing tree. The rear wheels touched down, followed by the front, and the brakes slowed the plane to a stop. A minivan pulled up promptly, and Schirg and Owen quickly exchanged bags of letters and packages. Within minutes, they were back onboard and preparing to takeoff for PutIn-Bay, where three times as much mail, befitting the island's more th.an 400 residents, would be unlo&ded. Back in Sandusky, Tom Buffington, 23, of Westlake, was taking off for Isle St. George, which lies just two miles south of the Canadian border. As the youngest pilot in the group, Buffington has logged around I ,500 flight hours, and is steadily making his way up th.e ranks. With fewer residents on Middle Bass and Isle St. George, a smaller plane is used to save on gas, company officials said. There are no mailboxes affixed to homes on Isle of St. George, and there's no ferry business willing to pick up one of the island's 18 residents, but Herma Dopps wasn't surprised when the plane delivers a case of navel oranges from Florida at her doorstep just in time for the I'Jew Year. As island postmaster, Dopps is accustomed and grateful to hear the hum of an aircraft bringing mail to the one-room post office, which is located on the bottom floor of her home. "We depend on the mail here," she said. "Sometimes, it's the only way to stay connected with those on the mainland." 6 6 Cloudy Partty C1oudy ~ "77a Showera '=' ~ :;:::._ ~ ~ ~ ~ ..... ~: BY JOHN ZENOR k>t .:. ~ AWn • * snow ASSOCIATED PRESS •:. ...• . : health and no rules were broken.

Thanks to nailing free th.rows down the stretch the Redmen were able to avoid that fourth league defeat with a hard fou~ht 83-78 win over the visitmg Pioneers. Rio Grande (8-1 0, 3-3 AMCS) stormed out the gate, surging to a 10-3 lead thanks to a couple of threepointers from sophomore guard Brett Beucler. That burst was short-lived as Malone (11-6, 1-4 AMCS) promptly went on a 14-2 run to take a 17-12 lead at the 13:28 mark of the first half. The Redmen were able to weather that storm and the two teams ended up deadlocked at 37-37 at halftime. Both teams took turns making mini-runs in the second half as neither squad could pull away from the other.

A new era of college football begins Monday night with No. I Ohio State and No. 2 Florida playing a game that's grown too big to be called a bowl. A week after New Year's Day, after all the bowls have been played, the Buckeyes and Gators meet in the first BCS national championship game. "It's th.e Super Bowl of college football and I think college football needed that," Gators coach Urban Meyer said Sunday. What the bigger - if not better Bowl Championship Series got for its new showcase event is a I vs. 2 matchup th.at had many skeptical at first about its le$itimacy. Hetsman Trophy winner Troy Smith and the Buckeyes (12-0) were a nobrainer. The Big Ten cham- pions have been No. I since the preseason, and already have a pair of victories against teams ranked No. 2. "You know the only time we thought for sure that we were going to be in the national championship is when that game (against Michigan) ended Nov. 18 because we knew going in you have to win them all," said Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, seeking his second national title in ljjs sixth season with the Buckeyes. But Florida? The Gators ( 12-1) lived on the edge, navigating a brutal Southeastern Conference schedule by orchestrating ~reat escapes. several Blocked kicks, late rallies and a healthy dose of trickery- Florida used it all. It's enough to make some say good fonune has been the Gators' best friend. They see it another way. "We don't really believe in destiny," defensive tackle Ray McDonald. "We believe when your number's called you make that play." Still, Florida needed help to get here. Southern California's loss to UCLA on the last day of the regular season opened the door for Florida, and a sea change among poll voters allowed the Gators to jumr over Michigan in the fina BCS standings - and into a matchup with the Buckeyes. Then USC helped out Florida again, pounding the Wolverines in the Rose_ Bowl last week and removing any questions about whether the winner of ·Monday's night game at shiny new University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale should be national champion.

"Anybody who didn't change for this game might need a little psychological exam," said Donald Jenkins, a trustee for Bath Township in northeast Ohio. The board met Thursday instead of Monday. City councils in Gahanna and Reynoldsburg near Columbus canceled their Monday meetings so as not to miss the 8:30 p.m. kickoff. Other local governments and school boards moved stan times a few hours earlier or rescheduled for the next day. "Missing out is hard for sports fans , because sports are a shared social experience," said Kirk Wakefield, who studies sports fan behavior at Baylor University in Waco. Texas. " If you missed the game and your friends are talking about a great play, you ' re an outcast; you're left out of the dialogue." Akron City Council did not budge from its 7 p.m. Monday meeting.

Southern then hit a pair of free-throws in a string of 44 (Jesse McKnight and Jacob Hunter) that led to a 38-37 SHS lead.

' Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel Work, government business take back seat to OSU game Monday has become an unofficial holiday throughout Ohio, with governments moving meetings, high sc hools rescheduling basketball games and workers taking vacation days or testing !lex time policies to avoid missing the national title match between No. I Ohio State and No. 2 Florida. "Anybody who didn't change for this game might need a little psychological exam," said Donald Jenkins, a trustee for Bath Township in northeast Ohio. The board met Thursday instead of Monday. City councils in Gahanna and Reynoldsburg near Columbus canceled their Monday meetings so as not to miss the 8:30 p.m. kickoff. Other local governments and school boards moved stan times a few hours earlier or rescheduled for the next day. "Missing out is hard for sports fans , because sports are a shared social experience," said Kirk Wakefield, who studies sports fan behavior at Baylor University in Waco. Texas. " If you missed the game and your friends are talking about a great play, you ' re an outcast; you're left out of the dialogue." Akron City Council did not budge from its 7 p.m. Monday meeting. Pres·ident Marco Sommerville predicted members and the public will get home on time. Warren City Schools in northeast Ohio completely bucked the trend. Because of a contlict for one member on Tuesday, the school board earlier voted to move their annual organizational meeting to Monday - forgetting about the big game. Plenty of Ohio workers are on vacation, with so many having traveled to A-rizona for the game, and Bobcats ing the second half with a 17-play, 80-yard drive that worked 9:55 off the clock and severely damaged any hopes for a comeback by Ohio's plodding offense. It was the team's longest drive of the season in both plays and time consumed. Fletcher ended it · by reversing field behind ·the line and outrunning the defenders for a 9-yard TD.

James Denley returned an interception . of Ohio backup quarterback Brad Bower 18 yards for a score with l: 13 left before the half. It was the Golden Eagles' seventh non-offensive TD of the season, the most under coach Jeff Bower. The teams had combined for just 82 offensive yards after one quarter, but Southern Miss racked up 150 in the second. The Golden Eagles then monopolized the ball, open- Stonn from PageBl offense, or lack of offense, sealed the Tornadoes' ultimate providence. Southern missed two free throws (02) tu open the canto in a frigid 5-12 stint at the foul line in the final round. After a Meigs' miss, Wes Riftle drove in a twisting lay-up for a 34-33 SHS lead, but that was countered seconds later by a pearlmove, spin-around lay-in by Cordell (35-34 Meigs). Southern then hit a pair of free-throws in a string of 44 (Jesse McKnight and Jacob Hunter) that led to a 38-37 SHS lead. It also put an exclamation mark on a l6 fou I shooting stretch the rest of the way, including an 0-4 stint Southern had when leading 42-39 with 2:43 left in the game. Pat Johnson hit the sec- ond of a 2-shot foul, after Meigs' Toler had hit the last two free throws of a 3-shot attempt. Southern led 43-41 and Johnson grabbed the rebound on a Meigs miss, but was knocked to the floor where he was whistled for traveling. Meigs' Poole then muscled down the lane to tie the score after the Marauder inbound pass, and after an ill-advised SHS shot, Meigs blitzed down tloor where Chris Goode hit a back-door power lay-in to give Meigs a 45-43 edge at the I :20 mark. Southern coach Richard Stephens was not pleased with his club's taking care of the basketball, but remained optimistic in his ensuing time-outs. Southern appeared to get - a break when Poole fouled out at the l :02 mark, but Southern missed two foul shots. Bookman then launched his tri-fecta with 45 seconds showing on the clock, a shot that deflated much of the Monday, January 8, www .mydailysentinel.com stretch.

Kathryn Stough said she will employ the federal government's tlexible work schedule policy; leaving early from the Defense Supply Center in Columbus on Monday and going in late on Tuesday, after taking "a couple of Excedrin to ward off those nasty post-game headaches." Some businesses are trying to find a way to still get work done.

Southern quickly called time but missed on a quick out, then Meigs was whistled for a charge drawn by Ryan Chapman. Riftle then drilled a three to pull Southern within two, 48-46, with 25 seconds left. Southern called time immediately, then after nearly drawing a five-second count Meigs called time to reset its strategy. Southern fouled immediately and appeared to get the break it needed when Meigs rimmed out the first of a bonus. Wes Riftle skied high for a rebound, but on the outlet pass Southern turned into a Mei~s defender and before gettmg off the dribble was rightfully called for traveling. Southern again fouled immediately after taking a time out, but in doing so handed the hammer to Cordell who drove the final two· nails in the coffin in what became a 50-46 Meigs win. The first half was an offensive nightmare. Southern went 0-6 and Meigs 0-8 before Southern's McKnight hit a tum-around jumper at the 5: II mark. More of the same continued. As Meigs spread the wealth offensively, it was Southern's Weston Roberts who kept the Tornadoes in the game. Roberts ended the half with eight of his 14 points, scoring six more m the third frame in a great effort for the SHS youngster . . Meigs led 11 -8 after one round behind a Bolin, Bookman, Toler. Poole, Goode offensive combo, then trotted to a 21-17 halftime lead with added punch from Jesse Mullins and Cordell. Meigs was led by Cordell and Toler with ten points each, Bolin and Poole with eight, Bookman six, Goode tion." Make no mistake, Ohio State wouldn ' t be here without Smith, who's 25-2 as a starter and been at his b~st against the best. In Ohio State's first two 1-2 games against Texas and Michigan, Smith threw for 585 yards and six touch downs. And if he needs to run, he can do that, too. The Gators are underdogs but undaunted. "We're not afraid of Troy Smith at all," said linebacker Brandon Siler, who leads a defense ranked in the top I 0 nationally in xards and points allowed. 'He is a great player. He has a greac arm and he can run the ball. Don't get 'it confused, we are not afraid at all." Smith has already secured a place among the greatest and most beloved Buckeyes. For his counterpart, Chris Leak, the game could define a career that has looked great on paper but has left fans unsatisfied. The manr six, and Mullins two. Southern was led by Roberts with 14, Johnson 12, Riffle and Sellers five each, Weston Counts four, McKnight four, and Hunter two. Southern hit 17-for-48 overall for 35 percent, hitting 14-for-34 two's, 3-for14 three's (21 percent), and 9-for-20 at the line (45 percent). Southern had 25 rebounds (McKnight 7, Riffle 5), five steals, 12 assists (Sellers 4 ), twentytwo turnovers, one charge (Ryan Chapman), and eleven fouls . The Marauders hit 21-for62 overall, hitting 19-for-56 two's, 2-for-6 three 's, and 6-for-11 at the line. Meigs had 35 rebounds (Poole 9, Goode I 0 , Toler 6 ), ten assists (Cordell 3, Bookman 2, Poole 3), seven steals, 22 turnovers, and 16 fouls.

Rio snapped a brief twogame losi ng skid with the win and will look to slay one of the AMC South Dragons on Tuesday evemng when Mount Vernon Nazarene comes to the Newt Oliver Arena Tip-off is set for approx imately 8 p.m. The Daily Sentinel • Plge B3 t[rtbune - Sentinel - l\e ter CLASSIFIED Meigs County, OH Gallia County OH Websites: 'In One Week With Us www.mydailytribune.com classified@!~d'a~:~ribune.com REACH OVER 285,000 PROSPECTS www.mydailysentinel.com www.mydailyregister.com S YOUR AD N To Place ~rtbune Sentinel l\egt~ter Your Ad, (740) 446-2342 (740) 992-2156 (304) 675-1333 Call Today... or Fax To (740) 446-3008 or Fax To (740) 992·21~7 675-5234 four-year .starter has thrown for 11 ,000 yards and 87 TDs. but he's not even the most popular quarterback · on campus. That title goes to fiery freshman Tim Tebow, whose tough running has complemented Leak's passing. Meyer makes it clear that it's Leak's team. "If he's getting killed (b~ fans), I will tell you what, 1f he wins this game he will be one of the two top quanerbacks to play at Florida," ·· · Meyer sa1d. The Gators won their only national iitle in 1996, when Danny Wuerffel directed Steve Spurrier's Fun-andGun offense. No one is more adored in Gainesville than Spurrier, who turned the Gators into a powerhouse in the '90s. Now Meyer, in his second season with Florida, can match the Ball Coach's greatest -achievement. It's been 51 days since the Buckeyes played, and 37 for the Gators. By Sunday. they'd had enough hype.

That set up Akers' winning kick, a moment with a little extra drama in the wake of the botched hold in the Dallas-Seattle game and a bad snap on a critical extra point in a late-seaso n game between Cincinnati and Denver. Led by Garcia and a reju venated defense, Philadelphia turned its season around after a 24-point loss in Indianapolis, captured its fifth division title in six years and earned the No. 3 seed in the conference. Meanwhile, the dysfunctional Giants (8-9) fell apart after a 6-2 start . They lost four in a row and six of seven before a win at Washington last week put them in the playoffs. Cllacrtmtnauon ...

That is true in Mexico, where gifts are given and celebrations enjoyed on this impor· tant feast day. The Epiphany cele· brates the arrival of the magi, three kings or "wi se men" from the East, who were the first Gentile converts to Christianity. At Sacred Heart Church in Pomeroy Sunday, Mexican migrant families whQ have remained in Meigs County during the cold wmter months were special guests at an Ephiphany party hosted t>y the parish. Rev.
