See Page 81 BSERGENTeMYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RACINE- There will be no coal mined within the corporation limits of Racine, including the area which includes the village's well fields, this according to Racine Mayor J. Scott Hill. Hill's statement wasn't a demand but what he said was told to him by representatives associated with Gatling Ohio, LLC during a recent, informal meeting with Clerk-Treasurer Dave Spencer and Racine Council members also in attendance. Gatling Ohio, LLC has filed a mining permit with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) for an area just outside of Racine on Yellow bush Road. ODNR confirmed the permit is for a continuous room and pillar mining operation. The permit is for mming 1,894.9 acres of underground coal reserves while the surface operation is estimated to expand over 80.8 acres. Until now there'd been speculation and worry the mining permit area would include mining beneath the village's aquifer. Though the permit hasn't been made public officials in Racine are now resting a little easier after hearing the permit wouldn't include the well fields, especially since the village's new $2.3 million water improvement project is nearing completion. Hill said he felt the meeting went well and the representatives conveyed a willingness to be "community friendly." According to Hill pan of being "community friendly" was defined as working with the village to maintain roads and using a conveyor belt to deliver coal from the plant to the river for loading onto barges, keeping coal trucks off of village streets. "They said it (the mining operation) would be a nice looking facility that is equal to or better than the facility in New Haven. W.Va. ," Hill said. "They said it may employ around 100 people."

Submitted photo Sale from PageA1 ATHENS - A cuttingedge facility in the works at Ohio University got a financial boost when Gov. Bob Taft signed H.B. 699 in late December. The bill, which allocates $31.7 million in state capital funding to projects on Ohio University's six campuses for the 2007-08 biennium. earmarked $1.4 million for the integrated learning and research facility. An additional $1 million for the project was added with the support of State Sen. John Carey (RWell ston), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, State Sen. Joy Padgett (RCoshocton) and state Rep. Jimmy Stewart (R-Albany). The 100,000-square-foot facility is a joint initiative of the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ College of Engineering and Technology. It will allow researchers, physicians, engineers, students, faculty, staff and collaborators to interact in an environment that defies boundaries, thus accelerating discovery and enhancing scholarship and learning . The $2,431,170 allocation is for the initial construction phase, slated for this year. Of the total project estimate of $30 million , the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation has committed $10 million; alumnus Charles R. Stuckey Jr.. BSME '66, and his wife, Marilyn. have committed $5 million; and the Russ College has pledged $5 million. The university expects to supply the remaining funding with support from private donations and state capital. The total $31,730,562 in state capital funding represents an increase over the last two biennial appropriations. Ohio University received $25,912,864 in the 2005-06 biennium and $30,799,136 in 2003-04. Most of the capital funds allotted to for this biennium will go toward renovations that address changing academic needs and necessary upkeep. Regional campuses will receive $5,741,795. Close to one-third of the funds will support a variety of basic renovation projects. The remaining funds are earmarked for specific projects. The largest single allocation in the new funding package. $5,210,000, will help pay construction costs of the new 183,000-squarefoot Baker University Center on the Athens campus, which opened Jan. 2. . The redevelopment of the old Baker Center will receive $2.4 million for architecture and engineering services. That figure also includes funds for remediation of asbestos and Regional Development District, who will oversee the application process for the village, said an environmental engineering ftrm would complete a detailed history of the use of the propeny. The second phase makes funds available for a search for hazardous or contaminant materials. and the third phase. which would require a match, involves removal and replacement of contaminated soil and demolition of buildings. Late last year, Mayor Sandy lannarelli said there has been interest from a potential buyer for the site, but she did not elaborate. Council would likely use any proceeds from a sale of the land to move the village's street and public works department to a new facility. The village will also be required to provide a portion of the cost of revitalization, which involves demolition of the building and replacement of any contammated soil.

'This is a good opponunity for us to ·think about how we are going to do things differently and more creatively. I truly believe the best is yet to come," she said. . Following her speech, Zelman candidly answered questions from the audience. When asked about an extended school year. Zelman explained that our children try to · team much more information than pre' • vious generations in the same number of school days, and that an extended school year or school day could be beneficial. She also talked discussed different teaching methods and perspectives can be used to make connections between subjects. She spoke of the importance of integrating special needs students and using both the left and right sides of the br.Un. She said that math and science could be built into curriculums thmugh art and music and that those progrdllls must not be eliminated. The lack of social intemction in online schools was a concern, and Zelman replied that e-leaming was here to stay.

Governor Above is an artist renderIng of integrated learning and research center to be built at Ohio University with capital appropiations funds . Submitted photo Sale from PageA1 ATHENS - A cuttingedge facility in the works at Ohio University got a financial boost when Gov. Bob Taft signed H.B. 699 in late December. The bill, which allocates $31.7 million in state capital funding to projects on Ohio University's six campuses for the 2007-08 biennium. earmarked $1.4 million for the integrated learning and research facility. An additional $1 million for the project was added with the support of State Sen. John Carey (RWell ston), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, State Sen. Joy Padgett (RCoshocton) and state Rep. Jimmy Stewart (R-Albany). The 100,000-square-foot facility is a joint initiative of the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ College of Engineering and Technology. It will allow researchers, physicians, engineers, students, faculty, staff and collaborators to interact in an environment that defies boundaries, thus accelerating discovery and enhancing scholarship and learning . The $2,431,170 allocation is for the initial construction phase, slated for this year. Of the total project estimate of $30 million , the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation has committed $10 million; alumnus Charles R. Stuckey Jr.. BSME '66, and his wife, Marilyn. have committed $5 million; and the Russ College has pledged $5 million. The university expects to supply the remaining funding with support from private donations and state capital. The total $31,730,562 in state capital funding represents an increase over the last two biennial appropriations. Ohio University received $25,912,864 in the 2005-06 biennium and $30,799,136 in 2003-04. Most of the capital funds allotted to for this biennium will go toward renovations that address changing academic needs and necessary upkeep. Regional campuses will receive $5,741,795. Close to one-third of the funds will support a variety of basic renovation projects. The remaining funds are earmarked for specific projects. The largest single allocation in the new funding package. $5,210,000, will help pay construction costs of the new 183,000-squarefoot Baker University Center on the Athens campus, which opened Jan. 2. . The redevelopment of the old Baker Center will receive $2.4 million for architecture and engineering services. That figure also includes funds for remediation of asbestos and Regional Development District, who will oversee the application process for the village, said an environmental engineering ftrm would complete a detailed history of the use of the propeny. The second phase makes funds available for a search for hazardous or contaminant materials. and the third phase. which would require a match, involves removal and replacement of contaminated soil and demolition of buildings. Late last year, Mayor Sandy lannarelli said there has been interest from a potential buyer for the site, but she did not elaborate. Council would likely use any proceeds from a sale of the land to move the village's street and public works department to a new facility. The village will also be required to provide a portion of the cost of revitalization, which involves demolition of the building and replacement of any contammated soil.

"We want a better quality of life for our children.'; She said that every child should have access to secondary education in order to obtain the skills needed to succeed in the global economy. 'This is a good opponunity for us to ·think about how we are going to do things differently and more creatively. I truly believe the best is yet to come," she said. . Following her speech, Zelman candidly answered questions from the audience. When asked about an extended school year. Zelman explained that our children try to · team much more information than pre' • vious generations in the same number of school days, and that an extended school year or school day could be beneficial. She also talked discussed different teaching methods and perspectives can be used to make connections between subjects. She spoke of the importance of integrating special needs students and using both the left and right sides of the br.Un. She said that math and science could be built into curriculums thmugh art and music and that those progrdllls must not be eliminated. The lack of social intemction in online schools was a concern, and Zelman replied that e-leaming was here to stay. Other topics included high teacher education requirements and the role of teachers in the future. "We have to look at things in terms of assets. not deficits." she said.

'214.21 Sunday,Januaryt4,2007 The future of Iraq 6unbap lime• ·&tnttnel ~unbap PageA4 It is my contention that no matter what happens in Iraq in the future. the wor-ld press will spin it negatively as long as President Bush is i,p the . White House. Quite simply, most of the media believes the Iraq conflict is a disaster and even if things were to improve there, the media now has a vested interest in America's failure. Thus, honest assessments about the w.ar in Iraq will be hard to come by. I'll back up my belief by pointing to two facts . First, the New York Times summed up President Bush's speech on Iraq this way: "There is nothing ahead but even greater disaster in Iraq." That doesn't leave the Times much wiggle room, does it? And second, the execution of Saddam: We now know that the Bush administration asked the Iraqi government to postpone the hanging by two weeks, at least. The Iraqis said no and demanded the dictator be handed ove~. The have bt:en something like "Bush lnsu Its the Iraqi Justice System." The arti cles and punditry would have emphasized that America was usurping Bill Iraqi authority. · O'Reilly At this point, Mr. Bush cannot win in Iraq. no matter what he does. If he tries to pull victory oul of chaos by sending in more troops. President complied. The Iraqi s then totally the press condemns him as botched the execution and delusional.

Bush press would have said The President and his if the USA had not handed advisors counted on the Saddam over to the Iraqis. The likely headline would Iraqi people to work Sunday, January 14, 2007 Obituaries capt. Wallace M. Rlas together in forming a democracy. Obviously, that did not happen. The powerful Mullahs who pretty much control entire neighborhoods saw an opportunity to kill their ancestral enemies. AI Sadr became AI Capone,. With that situation unchecked, al Qaeda and Iran exploited the violence by inciting more of it. As Iran trained killers and manufadured bombs, America took casualties. When al Qaeda blew up a Shiite mosque, the U.S. command could do little more than sweep up the wreckage. And so the violent chaos grew and the Bush administration's vision of a vibrant Iraqi society cooperating with the West against terrorism dissolved in cloud of desert dust . So now the President is giving Iraq one more chance to tight for its freedom. He will be vilified for doing it. But he should do it. Iray is that important. IS IT A CIVIl WAR YET? NO, TRUMP v. ROSIE.

Kloes Paul Northup Deaths There is nothing like a male (guys) Today we present another part of our ongoing series, "Stuff That Guys Do., Our first example of guys doing stuff comes from the University of Washington Daily, which recently published a report written by Jeremy Simer and sent in by alert reader Donna Bellinger. headlined, "Fraternity Game Turns Into Arrest." What happened, according to this report, was that some guys were up on the roof of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity house, and, as guys will do when they spend any time together in an elevated location, they began sharing their innermost feelings. I am, of course, kidding. These guys, being guys. began dropping things off the roof, starting with smaller items, and eventually escalating - this is when the police were summoned - to a chair .and a rowing machine. A frate,rnity member is quoted as follows: "We 're frat guys. What can you say?" Far be it from me to indulge in sex stereotyping here, but I am willing to bet that the reaction of you readers to this story is divided along gender lines, as follows : FEMALE REACTION: "Why would anybody do anything so stupid?" MALE REACTION : "A rowing machine! Cool!" The simple truth is that guys have this overpowering urge to watch stufr fall and crash. If you ever see • -···· ..... . .. ' ' . Dave Barry an inappropriate object, such as a piano, hurtling toward the Earth from a great height, you can be virtually certain that guys are responsible. Ask yourself this question: If you were standing in the middle of a bridge spanning a magnificent wilderness gorge, at the bottom of which was a spectacular whitewater river, what would you do? FEMALE RESPONSE : Admire the view. MALE RESPONSE : Spit. Yes. the truth is that there are few things that a guy enjoys more than proudly watching a gob of spit his spit; spit that he produced - falling a tremendous distance . This is a male impulse that females frankly cannot relate to. just as males cannot relate to the female impulse to go into greeting-card stores and spend hours shopping for greeting cards even when there is no particular occasion or person you need to send a greeting card to, which is what women frequently do when guys are out spitting. I am not suggesting here that all guys ever do is drop stuff. Sometimes they also throw stuff. and sometime~ this can lead to trouble. I have in my possession an official U.S. government memorandum, sent to me by an alert but anonymous reader, that was written by Paul E. Thompson, acting director, Western Region, Inspection Operations, Food and Safety Inspection Service, U.S. Depanment of Agriculture. Here is the first paragraph of this memorandum. which I absolutely swear I am not making up: "This is to remind all personnel of the danger and inadvisability of engagin_g in activities commonly referred to as 'Horseplay.' A few examples of horseplay include, but are noi to: throwing limited spleens, squirting water and flipping lymph nodes." In professional journalism, we have an old saying that we frequently say, which goes like this: "You do not print a story about federal employees engaging in horseplay involving spleens or lymph nodes without making a sincere effort to get the other side." So I contacted the USDA's Western Region office, which is located - and let this be a lesson to those who claim that the federal government is poorly managed - in the West. I spoke with Dr. Bruce Kaplari, a public affairs specialist, who explained that. "on rare occasions," poultry and meat inspectors, as well as plant employees. will become bored and !lip meat and poultry organs at each other. (He did not spec iii- cally state that ·these were guys doing this, but some things go without saying.) "In the poultry plants, they will flip spleens," explained Dr. Kaplan . "In the red-meat plants, they will tlip lymph nodes." Dr. Kaplan stressed that "there is absolurely no danger in terms of food safety." The problem, he said, is the safety of plant workers; "When they walk on the floor where these organs fall, they could slip." In hopes of making the public more aware of the potential danger, I asked Dr. Kaplan to describe a poultry spleen. "These are little small spleens," he explained. "They're tiny little slippery spleens." I think we can draw several conclusions from this story: I. First and foremost, "Slippery Spleens" would be an excellent name for a rock band. 2. Although it has become fashionable to knock "big government," we must not forget that, without the quick and decisive action by the USDA in the form of Acting Director memoranThompson's dum, the ordinary public, in the form of food-plant workers, would have no protection from the threat of slipping on organs !lipped by USDA inspectors. 3.

White House. Quite simply, most of the media believes the Iraq conflict is a disaster and even if things were to improve there, the media now has a vested interest in America's failure. Thus, honest assessments about the w.ar in Iraq will be hard to come by. I'll back up my belief by pointing to two facts . First, the New York Times summed up President Bush's speech on Iraq this way: "There is nothing ahead but even greater disaster in Iraq." That doesn't leave the Times much wiggle room, does it? And second, the execution of Saddam: We now know that the Bush administration asked the Iraqi government to postpone the hanging by two weeks, at least. The Iraqis said no and demanded the dictator be handed ove~. The have bt:en something like "Bush lnsu Its the Iraqi Justice System."

The likely headline would Iraqi people to work Sunday, January 14, 2007 Obituaries capt. Wallace M. Rlas together in forming a democracy. Obviously, that did not happen. The powerful Mullahs who pretty much control entire neighborhoods saw an opportunity to kill their ancestral enemies. AI Sadr became AI Capone,. With that situation unchecked, al Qaeda and Iran exploited the violence by inciting more of it. As Iran trained killers and manufadured bombs, America took casualties. When al Qaeda blew up a Shiite mosque, the U.S. command could do little more than sweep up the wreckage. And so the violent chaos grew and the Bush administration's vision of a vibrant Iraqi society cooperating with the West against terrorism dissolved in cloud of desert dust . So now the President is giving Iraq one more chance to tight for its freedom. He will be vilified for doing it. But he should do it. Iray is that important. IS IT A CIVIl WAR YET? NO, TRUMP v. ROSIE.

Kloes Paul Northup Deaths There is nothing like a male (guys) Today we present another part of our ongoing series, "Stuff That Guys Do., Our first example of guys doing stuff comes from the University of Washington Daily, which recently published a report written by Jeremy Simer and sent in by alert reader Donna Bellinger. headlined, "Fraternity Game Turns Into Arrest." What happened, according to this report, was that some guys were up on the roof of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity house, and, as guys will do when they spend any time together in an elevated location, they began sharing their innermost feelings. I am, of course, kidding. These guys, being guys. began dropping things off the roof, starting with smaller items, and eventually escalating - this is when the police were summoned - to a chair .and a rowing machine. A frate,rnity member is quoted as follows: "We 're frat guys. What can you say?" Far be it from me to indulge in sex stereotyping here, but I am willing to bet that the reaction of you readers to this story is divided along gender lines, as follows : FEMALE REACTION: "Why would anybody do anything so stupid?" MALE REACTION : "A rowing machine! Cool!" The simple truth is that guys have this overpowering urge to watch stufr fall and crash. If you ever see • -···· ..... . .. ' ' . Dave Barry an inappropriate object, such as a piano, hurtling toward the Earth from a great height, you can be virtually certain that guys are responsible. Ask yourself this question: If you were standing in the middle of a bridge spanning a magnificent wilderness gorge, at the bottom of which was a spectacular whitewater river, what would you do? FEMALE RESPONSE : Admire the view. MALE RESPONSE : Spit. Yes. the truth is that there are few things that a guy enjoys more than proudly watching a gob of spit his spit; spit that he produced - falling a tremendous distance . This is a male impulse that females frankly cannot relate to. just as males cannot relate to the female impulse to go into greeting-card stores and spend hours shopping for greeting cards even when there is no particular occasion or person you need to send a greeting card to, which is what women frequently do when guys are out spitting. I am not suggesting here that all guys ever do is drop stuff. Sometimes they also throw stuff. and sometime~ this can lead to trouble. I have in my possession an official U.S. government memorandum, sent to me by an alert but anonymous reader, that was written by Paul E. Thompson, acting director, Western Region, Inspection Operations, Food and Safety Inspection Service, U.S. Depanment of Agriculture. Here is the first paragraph of this memorandum. which I absolutely swear I am not making up: "This is to remind all personnel of the danger and inadvisability of engagin_g in activities commonly referred to as 'Horseplay.' A few examples of horseplay include, but are noi to: throwing limited spleens, squirting water and flipping lymph nodes." In professional journalism, we have an old saying that we frequently say, which goes like this: "You do not print a story about federal employees engaging in horseplay involving spleens or lymph nodes without making a sincere effort to get the other side." So I contacted the USDA's Western Region office, which is located - and let this be a lesson to those who claim that the federal government is poorly managed - in the West. I spoke with Dr. Bruce Kaplari, a public affairs specialist, who explained that. "on rare occasions," poultry and meat inspectors, as well as plant employees. will become bored and !lip meat and poultry organs at each other. (He did not spec iii- cally state that ·these were guys doing this, but some things go without saying.) "In the poultry plants, they will flip spleens," explained Dr. Kaplan . "In the red-meat plants, they will tlip lymph nodes." Dr. Kaplan stressed that "there is absolurely no danger in terms of food safety." The problem, he said, is the safety of plant workers; "When they walk on the floor where these organs fall, they could slip." In hopes of making the public more aware of the potential danger, I asked Dr. Kaplan to describe a poultry spleen. "These are little small spleens," he explained. "They're tiny little slippery spleens." I think we can draw several conclusions from this story: I. First and foremost, "Slippery Spleens" would be an excellent name for a rock band. 2. Although it has become fashionable to knock "big government," we must not forget that, without the quick and decisive action by the USDA in the form of Acting Director memoranThompson's dum, the ordinary public, in the form of food-plant workers, would have no protection from the threat of slipping on organs !lipped by USDA inspectors. 3.

The senior point guard scored eight big points during a key stretch m the third quarter - helping Mariella tum a deadlocked game into a comfortable lead - and eventually a 61-53 boys high school basketball victory on Friday. Kriechbaum scored 26 points to lead all scorers. He sparked the Tigers to a 19-6 run to close out the pivotal third stanza, which gave the home team all the breathing room it needed to hold on for the win. The Blue Devils never got closer than seven in the founh quarter. Both clubs are now 5-4 overall, but the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League marks heavily favor the Tigers, who are now 4- 1. Meanwhile . Gallia Academy dropped its third consec utiv e league contest and is 1-4 in the Rumley newly expanded I0-team super conference. Only Portsmuu!h and Logan have worse league marks. After Kriechbaum, who accounted for 42 percent of his club's offense, Zane Eschbaugh and Ju stin Estes added nine and eight points respectively. Gallia Academy big man David Rumley went 8-of-9 at the free throw line and tossed in 18 points in all to lead the Blue Devils. Jayme Haggerty mad a pair of three and scored 16 while Shawn Thompson · also reached double figures with I0. Chris McCoy and Jeff Golden were the only other Devil s 10 score - chipping in six and three respectively. Double overtime was needed to dedde the reserve contest, which also wen! to Marietta by a 64-59 count. Zach Arnold and Dustin Huck scored 22 and 20 respectively for the Tigers while Kyle Mitchell had 15 and Beau Whaley 14 for the Blue Devils. The road doesn't get any easier for Gallia Academy when powerful Chillicothe visits on Tuesday. Sunday, January 14. 2007 STAFF REPORT SPORTSOMYDAILYSENTINELCOM CORNING - Nothing · preuy, nothing fancy, just efficient basketball. Led by Dustin Householder and Cody Baier, the Miller boys basketball team used consistent scoring throughout to pull away to a 65-42 victory over visiting Eastern Friday night in Coming. BY LARRY CRUM HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Being outscored 15·2 in the first quarter was bad enough, but getting hit with a 26-14 run in the second didn't help either. The Ohio Valley Christian School (4-6) boys basketball team were at the receiving end of that brutal start as Grace Chrsitian (4-4) got hot early and didn't let up the rest of the way, rolling to a 6.5-46 victory Friday night in Huntington.

Sunday, January 14. 2007 from PageBl :: ;.. :: -: ::: -: Lamb's best quarter was the third, when he scored I0 and helped his Dragons build a lead that was as Iar~e as 27 at one point . Fauland was in control from the outset, as it led 2414 after one quarter and was ahead by a comfortable 16· point margin at halftime . River Valley shot tht; basketball well from the · outside, connecting on I r-o'f- 10 of his 14 points while also coming down with nine boards and three steals in the contest to help extend the General lead. They jumped out to a 5428 lead after three and both teams moved players in and out of the lineup in the fourth quarter as Winfield wrapped up the 28-point victory. The Big Blacks did see some promise from a number of new faces who got considerable playing time, especially from sophomores B.J. Lloyd, Tyson Jones and Steven Perry. Jones led his team with nine points, 10 rebounds and two blocks, while Lloyd added eight points and Perry seven. Jay Ellis also added seven points, Will Slone had six markers, Jeremy Legg had four points and Chris Campbell connected for six points.

WHS maintained its defensive pressure throughout the rematnder of the opening canto to close out the final minutes of the stanza on a 12-6 run to claim a 22-7 edge eight minutes into the outing . The White Falcons allowed Calhoun Countv to climb back into the game prior to the halftime interruption as Harrison was forced to the bench due to foul troubles and with him went most of the Bend Area teams' offense.

The OHSAA. a sanctioning body for the state's prep spons, had approved a plan in June that would have reduced the number of schools in Division i, then distributed the remaining schools among the association's smaJier divi ~ions . It was set to take effect for the 2007-08 school year. : The board decided Thursday . to retain its long-standing forll)at that assigns as equal anum~r of schools as possible to each division of OHSAA tourimments. • "After consulting with OHSAA Board and staff members along with hearing feedback from OHSAA membership, the feeling is that, while we tried 10 create fairness for one division. perhaps we were creating unfairness in the lither divisions," board president Jerry Snodgrass said in a telease. ~ While all schools compete in OHSAA tournaments in other spons. the football playoffs feature only 32 schools from each of the six divisions. Smaller schools had expressed concerns that the new plan favored their larger ~ounterpans because the number of eligible teams !n Division I would be smaller than the number of teams 10 other divisions. In footbaJI, there are 116 schools in Division I. Had the new proposal been in rlace for 2006, a school would have remamed in Division if it had at least 629 male students, and about 70 schools would have made the cut off.

(AP) - The Nashville Predators have Tomas Vokoun back in goal, and they're determined to give him as much help as possible. Shea Weber had a goal and an assist, Vokoun stopped 22 . shots in his second game back from a tom tendon in his left thumb, and the Predators beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-0 Friday night for their founh straight victory. The 22 shots were the second fewest Vokoun has faced this season. "We talked about it after the last game, Tomas com· ing back and being out for so long," Nashville forward Steve Sullivan. said of Vokoun missing 21 games. "We wanted to be good in front of him. We wanted to minimize the great scoring chances and minimize second chances." That they did. Columbus took 10 shots in the first period.and had a flurry in the final minutes. "Obviously, for me, it's the key to have good results," Vokoun said. "I'm just so happy the team is playing the way it's playmg." Nashville coach Barry Trotz called it a team shutout. "I was real happy with our discipline. I was real happy with our goaltending. I was happy with our special teams. The guys, they came to play," Trotz said. Jason Arnott also scored in the game in which each team had a goaJ waved off in the opening minutes because of goalie interference. The Predators, second in the Western Confer~nce in points, are 12-3 in their past 15 games. The Predators also haven't lost to Columbus this sea- photo Nashville Predators center Jerred Smithson (25) clears the puck away from Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Anson Carter, center, in the first period of an NHL hockey game in Nashville, Tenn.

The teams meet again Saturday night in Columbus, and the Blue Jackets might get center Sergei Fedorov back. He was left home due to an elbow injury. . Nashville took advantage of the depleted Blue Ja,ckets, who didn't have forwards Fedorov, Rick Nash, and Jody Shelley (eye), or defensemen Adam Foote (back spasms) and Duvie Westcott (concussioq). Nash, Columbus' secondleading scorer, was placed on the injured list Thursday with a back problem.

Or he might still create magic with a soccer ball, trying to make his new team better and popularize the game in America. Or perhaps he 'II make his mark in both gritty Carson, where the Los Angeles Galaxy play, and Hollywood. Forgetting for the moment that Beckham's wife, Victoria, is a former Spice Girl, that they rank Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes among their best friends, and that one of Hollywood's premier talent agencies negotiated his Galaxy contract, Beckham tried to focus on soccer. "I'm coming there not be a superstar," the 31-yearold Beckham said Friday via satellite from Madrid. ''I'm coming there to be part of the team, to work hard and to hopefully win things. "With me, it's about football. I'm coming there to make a difference. I'm coming there to play football." Reporters were not allowed to pose questions. Instead, a moderator did the asking. Dressed in a black suit with white- shirt and black tie, Beckham said he hopes to work with American youngsters and keep them mterested in soccer when they are finished with youth leagues. He's joining a so-so team in MaJor League Soccer, considered sort of bush league by fans in the mor~ fervent soccer countries around the world. ''I'm not saying me coming over to the States is going to make soccer the biggest sport in America . That WOUld be difficult IO achieve," Beckham said . ''Baseball , basketball, American football, they ' ve been around. " But I wouldn't be doing this if I didn ' t think 1 could make a difference." Tim Leiweke of AEG, the sport s and entertainment company that run s the Galaxy, believes Beckham can make a huge difference. "Certainly, he will bring an audience, a fan base and an intensity to our sport that we've never had," Leiweke said. The AEG president said Beckham is far from done. "David is still a very good player," Leiweke said. "Peyton Manning in football, the other football, Allen Iverson in basketball and Tiger Woods in golf are all the same age as Beckham." Galaxy general manager Ale xi Lalas, who was one of America's best-known players, said the decision to sign Beckham "was based on soccer." "At the end of the day, this team needs to win on the field," Lalas said. Lalas said he did not think Beckham should be blamed for the lack of suecess by either Real Madrid or England's national team. "It's an easx way out to blame David,' Lalas said. "And to be fair, he has a target on him. And that's OK, that's the pressure he plays under. But the mediocnty of different teams at different times and the blame ti)at's put on him, I think that's unfair. "He's 31 years old and I think he has · some of his best soccer ahead of him. And he's facing a new chatlenge. What could be a fresher stan for him than to come to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy?" Beckham plans to fulfill his contract with Real Madrid before heading for photo Members of the media listen as a video teleconference is conducted with English soccer star David Beckham. shown on the video monitor, Friday in the Marina Del Rey area of Los Angeles. Beckham talked about his move to the the Los Angeles Galaxy from Spain's Real Madrid. AP the United States. He is not expected to join the Galaxy, whose MLS season begins in April, until August. His five-year deal with the team, one of three MLS franchises owned by AEG, is believed to be for around $10 million a year. His representatives have said that outside endorsements could run the total worth of the package to $250 million. Beckham mentioned that he has watched Cobi Jones play in the World Cup and now he will line up beside him with the Galaxy. Jones, still a solid player at 36, believes Beckham will have a positive impact on his teammates. Barbaro shows no sign of infection in diseased hoof PHILADELPHIA (AP) The daily strolls are out for now. replaced with several hours in a sling. It's a setback, for sure, but Barbaro's outlook is not as grim as it was six months ago. The Kentucky Derby winner shows no sign of infection in either of his hind legs. and has more healthy tissue on his diseased left hind hoof than he did in July when he was first stricken with laminitis. "We do not believe that this setback puts him all the war, back to where he was in July, ' chief surgeon Dean Richardson srud Friday in an update issued by the Vniversity of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center. Richardson said that it was "very disappointing" to suffer a setback so close to when Barbaro was set to leave the hospital, but the colt now looks bright, has a strong appetite, and was comfonable. "We have more tissue on the bottom of his foot that is heaJthy," Richardson said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. 'There is at least some hoof wall laterally that will help us stabilize his foot. There is no significant infection in either limb. He has a solid column of healed bone in the right hind that g_ives .~s more mana~ement opuons. Barbaro ts spending hours in his protective sling, needed to deter sudden movement and make the colt comfonable as he fights back from his latest setback from laminitis. He S{>f!nt pan of the summer in his sling in his ICU staJI at "I know if I'm running around the field with a David Beckham, I want to impress him," Jones said. "I want him to go, 'Hey, this guy is good.' I think it's g9ing to give us a credibility and a perspective. "A lot of people don't have a perspective of how good these guys in the MLS are," he said. Though he won' t immediately be besieged as he is in Europe, he has been gaining attention in the United States since the movie "Bend It Like Beckham." "I came to L.A. about four years ago, and I was walking around and I got a few people coming up to me and recognizing me," Beckham said. "But then I went back about a year ago, and when I looked out the window in the house I was staying in and there were forty-five paparazzi cars outside. "I realize I'm not as recognized in the U .S. as I am around Europe, around other parts of the world. But hopefully, playing for, the Galaxy will change that. " His friendship with Cruise and Holmes s~ould make adjusting to life in Los Angeles easier for him and his wife. "That's going to be a big help to us, to have friend s when we arrive in L.A .," Beckham said. " I talked with him for about an hour last night and an hour the night before. "I told him there might be an announcement, and asked him for his advice, as well. He 's a very wise man and a very good friend of mine . To have his experience and have him explain some things to me, that 's a · big favor. He couldn't speak any higher than what he was saying about LA ."

Barbaro had become uncomfonable on his left hind foot in recent days a week after" new cast was put on the foot. The Cl!SI was removed afler some new separation on the inside portion of his hoof was found. "lbe mediaJ aspect of the hoof was aJways going to be a problem because of the way it was heaJing," Richardson told the AP. ''The cast did not cause this problem. This issue with the foot was probably inevitable." Richardson said Barbaro has soft bandages on the laminitis-stricken hoof, though that could change in the next few days. The colt is confined to his ICU stall and unable to take his shon, daily walks. Co-owner Gretchen Jackson visits daily and feeds him grass from her farm . After his injury in the Preakness, Barbaro deve Ioped severe laminitis, caused by uneven weight distribution in the limbs.

The OHSAA. a sanctioning body for the state's prep spons, had approved a plan in June that would have reduced the number of schools in Division i, then distributed the remaining schools among the association's smaJier divi ~ions . It was set to take effect for the 2007-08 school year. : The board decided Thursday . to retain its long-standing forll)at that assigns as equal anum~r of schools as possible to each division of OHSAA tourimments. • "After consulting with OHSAA Board and staff members along with hearing feedback from OHSAA membership, the feeling is that, while we tried 10 create fairness for one division. perhaps we were creating unfairness in the lither divisions," board president Jerry Snodgrass said in a telease. ~ While all schools compete in OHSAA tournaments in other spons. the football playoffs feature only 32 schools from each of the six divisions. Smaller schools had expressed concerns that the new plan favored their larger ~ounterpans because the number of eligible teams !n Division I would be smaller than the number of teams 10 other divisions. In footbaJI, there are 116 schools in Division I. Had the new proposal been in rlace for 2006, a school would have remamed in Division if it had at least 629 male students, and about 70 schools would have made the cut off.

(AP) - The Nashville Predators have Tomas Vokoun back in goal, and they're determined to give him as much help as possible. Shea Weber had a goal and an assist, Vokoun stopped 22 . shots in his second game back from a tom tendon in his left thumb, and the Predators beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-0 Friday night for their founh straight victory. The 22 shots were the second fewest Vokoun has faced this season. "We talked about it after the last game, Tomas com· ing back and being out for so long," Nashville forward Steve Sullivan. said of Vokoun missing 21 games. "We wanted to be good in front of him. We wanted to minimize the great scoring chances and minimize second chances." That they did. Columbus took 10 shots in the first period.and had a flurry in the final minutes. "Obviously, for me, it's the key to have good results," Vokoun said. "I'm just so happy the team is playing the way it's playmg." Nashville coach Barry Trotz called it a team shutout. "I was real happy with our discipline. I was real happy with our goaltending. I was happy with our special teams. The guys, they came to play," Trotz said. Jason Arnott also scored in the game in which each team had a goaJ waved off in the opening minutes because of goalie interference.

Or he might still create magic with a soccer ball, trying to make his new team better and popularize the game in America. Or perhaps he 'II make his mark in both gritty Carson, where the Los Angeles Galaxy play, and Hollywood. Forgetting for the moment that Beckham's wife, Victoria, is a former Spice Girl, that they rank Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes among their best friends, and that one of Hollywood's premier talent agencies negotiated his Galaxy contract, Beckham tried to focus on soccer. "I'm coming there not be a superstar," the 31-yearold Beckham said Friday via satellite from Madrid. ''I'm coming there to be part of the team, to work hard and to hopefully win things. "With me, it's about football. I'm coming there to make a difference. I'm coming there to play football." Reporters were not allowed to pose questions. Instead, a moderator did the asking. Dressed in a black suit with white- shirt and black tie, Beckham said he hopes to work with American youngsters and keep them mterested in soccer when they are finished with youth leagues. He's joining a so-so team in MaJor League Soccer, considered sort of bush league by fans in the mor~ fervent soccer countries around the world. ''I'm not saying me coming over to the States is going to make soccer the biggest sport in America . That WOUld be difficult IO achieve," Beckham said . ''Baseball , basketball, American football, they ' ve been around. " But I wouldn't be doing this if I didn ' t think 1 could make a difference." Tim Leiweke of AEG, the sport s and entertainment company that run s the Galaxy, believes Beckham can make a huge difference. "Certainly, he will bring an audience, a fan base and an intensity to our sport that we've never had," Leiweke said. The AEG president said Beckham is far from done. "David is still a very good player," Leiweke said. "Peyton Manning in football, the other football, Allen Iverson in basketball and Tiger Woods in golf are all the same age as Beckham." Galaxy general manager Ale xi Lalas, who was one of America's best-known players, said the decision to sign Beckham "was based on soccer." "At the end of the day, this team needs to win on the field," Lalas said. Lalas said he did not think Beckham should be blamed for the lack of suecess by either Real Madrid or England's national team. "It's an easx way out to blame David,' Lalas said. "And to be fair, he has a target on him. And that's OK, that's the pressure he plays under. But the mediocnty of different teams at different times and the blame ti)at's put on him, I think that's unfair. "He's 31 years old and I think he has · some of his best soccer ahead of him. And he's facing a new chatlenge. What could be a fresher stan for him than to come to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy?" Beckham plans to fulfill his contract with Real Madrid before heading for photo Members of the media listen as a video teleconference is conducted with English soccer star David Beckham. shown on the video monitor, Friday in the Marina Del Rey area of Los Angeles. Beckham talked about his move to the the Los Angeles Galaxy from Spain's Real Madrid. AP the United States. He is not expected to join the Galaxy, whose MLS season begins in April, until August. His five-year deal with the team, one of three MLS franchises owned by AEG, is believed to be for around $10 million a year. His representatives have said that outside endorsements could run the total worth of the package to $250 million. Beckham mentioned that he has watched Cobi Jones play in the World Cup and now he will line up beside him with the Galaxy. Jones, still a solid player at 36, believes Beckham will have a positive impact on his teammates. Barbaro shows no sign of infection in diseased hoof PHILADELPHIA (AP) The daily strolls are out for now. replaced with several hours in a sling. It's a setback, for sure, but Barbaro's outlook is not as grim as it was six months ago. The Kentucky Derby winner shows no sign of infection in either of his hind legs. and has more healthy tissue on his diseased left hind hoof than he did in July when he was first stricken with laminitis. "We do not believe that this setback puts him all the war, back to where he was in July, ' chief surgeon Dean Richardson srud Friday in an update issued by the Vniversity of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center. Richardson said that it was "very disappointing" to suffer a setback so close to when Barbaro was set to leave the hospital, but the colt now looks bright, has a strong appetite, and was comfonable. "We have more tissue on the bottom of his foot that is heaJthy," Richardson said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. 'There is at least some hoof wall laterally that will help us stabilize his foot. There is no significant infection in either limb.

"I want him to go, 'Hey, this guy is good.' I think it's g9ing to give us a credibility and a perspective. "A lot of people don't have a perspective of how good these guys in the MLS are," he said. Though he won' t immediately be besieged as he is in Europe, he has been gaining attention in the United States since the movie "Bend It Like Beckham." "I came to L.A. about four years ago, and I was walking around and I got a few people coming up to me and recognizing me," Beckham said. "But then I went back about a year ago, and when I looked out the window in the house I was staying in and there were forty-five paparazzi cars outside. "I realize I'm not as recognized in the U .S. as I am around Europe, around other parts of the world. But hopefully, playing for, the Galaxy will change that. " His friendship with Cruise and Holmes s~ould make adjusting to life in Los Angeles easier for him and his wife. "That's going to be a big help to us, to have friend s when we arrive in L.A .," Beckham said. " I talked with him for about an hour last night and an hour the night before. "I told him there might be an announcement, and asked him for his advice, as well. He 's a very wise man and a very good friend of mine . To have his experience and have him explain some things to me, that 's a · big favor. He couldn't speak any higher than what he was saying about LA ."

Pollack upbeat about neck, unsure about career Bv JoE KAY ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI - Linebacker David Pollack is encouraged by his recent surgery for a cracked bone in his neck, but hasn't decided whether he will try to resume his career with the Cincinnati Bengals. Pollack cracked the bone while making a tackle on Cleveland's Reuben Droughns during the second game of the season, and was put in a protective halo brace that immobilized the neck. The bone didn ' t heal as well as hoped. so he had surgery on Jan. 3. ''I'm encouraged by the prognosis from my recent operation," Pollack said Friday in a statement released by the team. 'The doctors tell me it went well, maybe even better than expected. "I haven 't given up on the possibility of playing football again. but any decision on that is a way down the road. My recovery is not complete. I've got a ton of work to do with doctors and trainers, and my neck just has to finish healing." A few weeks after the injury, Pollack said emphatically that he wouldn't play again if there was any increased risk of another neck injury. He said at the time that his career likely would be over if doctors had to fuse two bones in the neck . Neither Pollack nor the Bengals will disclose what doctors did during the operation. An update on the Web site for Pollack's foundation said he had the surgery "to correct the disc space" in his neck:. Earlier this week, Pollack 's agent told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the linebacker's goal was to return fur next season. The agent hasn't return phone messages. Pollack didn't discuss his career in the statement Friday. He said he won't grant interviews for a while. "It will be very helpful to me and my family at this point.if I can concentrate on my rehab and start thinking about the decisions I'll have in the future." he said. Pollack, 24, was the Bengals · first-round draft pick out of Georgia in 2005. They moved him from defensive lineman to linebacker, a transition slowed by a contract holdout during training camp. The Bengals were hoping that Pollack and middle linebacker Odell Thurman. a former Georgia teammate taken in the second round of 2005. would anchor the defense for many years. Thurman had an impressive rookie season. but was suspended for the 2006 season because he repeatedly violated the NFL's substance abuse policy. Thurman was suspended for the first four games of last season after he skipped a drug test. The league extended the suspension to the entire season after he was accused of drunken driving on Sept. 25. Thurman is eligible to apply for reinstatement before next season. A pretrial hearing on hi s drunken driving charge is scheduled for Feb. 21 in neighboring Clermont County.

OMEROY - It was in 1847 after a major fire struck Pomeroy, a growing, prosperous community, that a small group of men got together to organize the Pomeroy Fire Department, one of the first volunteer units in the state of Ohio. Those first volunteer firefighters operated essentially what could be described as a bucket brigade for the first 50 years. It wasn't until the near the tum of the century that the department, by then operatin~ in buildings in four sections of town, got some horse-dnlwn equtpment. The Barckolf Organ Co., which had moved into town and built a factory just off Spring Avenue, provided the first equipment for the department - a hose reel, a combination hose reel and wagon, a hose wagon and a steam pumper. The equipment was stored in the ward houses and the horses were stabled In the rear of the old Pomeroy village haJI located ne11t door on Second S~t to the Methodist Church. The building has since been tom down.

It was about'that time more equipment was purchased to serve the population of the village which then exceeded 7,000. The department pl\I'Chased its first piece of mechanized equ.lp· ment in 1929 - a Seagraves pumper. Many things have changed in the 160 years since that first group of volunteers organized into a fire department. In the 1960$. the three companies merged into a main aepanment and in the mid' 70s moved into a new bricl;: building on Butternut Avenue, which today houses modem fJre equipment. . The department has two pumpers. relatively new, a brush truck, a rescue truck and a bQat, and currently has a new ladder. truck on order. It operates with a membership of 40 volunteers.

Through the yeaili, Pomeroy has had perhaps more than its share of major fires destroying blocks of downtown businesses. Records show that in 1851, about one-third of the business buildings ill the midQie block of Pomeroy's Main Street were destroyed. Just five years later. another fire took many st ·~s in the middle and lower blocks of the village . But business was good, the population was growing and there was a flurry to rebuild and enjoy the prosperity of the times. The next Jlll\ior ftre came on a hot August morning in 1927. That fire started in the Priode Livery Stable on Second Street. nellf the building last occupied by Powell's SuperVaJu, presumabl~ from a short circuit ·in an automobile stored there.

Pollack upbeat about neck, unsure about career Bv JoE KAY ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI - Linebacker David Pollack is encouraged by his recent surgery for a cracked bone in his neck, but hasn't decided whether he will try to resume his career with the Cincinnati Bengals. Pollack cracked the bone while making a tackle on Cleveland's Reuben Droughns during the second game of the season, and was put in a protective halo brace that immobilized the neck. The bone didn ' t heal as well as hoped. so he had surgery on Jan. 3. ''I'm encouraged by the prognosis from my recent operation," Pollack said Friday in a statement released by the team. 'The doctors tell me it went well, maybe even better than expected. "I haven 't given up on the possibility of playing football again. but any decision on that is a way down the road. My recovery is not complete. I've got a ton of work to do with doctors and trainers, and my neck just has to finish healing." A few weeks after the injury, Pollack said emphatically that he wouldn't play again if there was any increased risk of another neck injury. He said at the time that his career likely would be over if doctors had to fuse two bones in the neck . Neither Pollack nor the Bengals will disclose what doctors did during the operation. An update on the Web site for Pollack's foundation said he had the surgery "to correct the disc space" in his neck:. Earlier this week, Pollack 's agent told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the linebacker's goal was to return fur next season. The agent hasn't return phone messages. Pollack didn't discuss his career in the statement Friday. He said he won't grant interviews for a while. "It will be very helpful to me and my family at this point.if I can concentrate on my rehab and start thinking about the decisions I'll have in the future." he said. Pollack, 24, was the Bengals · first-round draft pick out of Georgia in 2005. They moved him from defensive lineman to linebacker, a transition slowed by a contract holdout during training camp. The Bengals were hoping that Pollack and middle linebacker Odell Thurman. a former Georgia teammate taken in the second round of 2005. would anchor the defense for many years. Thurman had an impressive rookie season. but was suspended for the 2006 season because he repeatedly violated the NFL's substance abuse policy. Thurman was suspended for the first four games of last season after he skipped a drug test. The league extended the suspension to the entire season after he was accused of drunken driving on Sept. 25. Thurman is eligible to apply for reinstatement before next season. A pretrial hearing on hi s drunken driving charge is scheduled for Feb. 21 in neighboring Clermont County.

OMEROY - It was in 1847 after a major fire struck Pomeroy, a growing, prosperous community, that a small group of men got together to organize the Pomeroy Fire Department, one of the first volunteer units in the state of Ohio. Those first volunteer firefighters operated essentially what could be described as a bucket brigade for the first 50 years. It wasn't until the near the tum of the century that the department, by then operatin~ in buildings in four sections of town, got some horse-dnlwn equtpment. The Barckolf Organ Co., which had moved into town and built a factory just off Spring Avenue, provided the first equipment for the department - a hose reel, a combination hose reel and wagon, a hose wagon and a steam pumper. The equipment was stored in the ward houses and the horses were stabled In the rear of the old Pomeroy village haJI located ne11t door on Second S~t to the Methodist Church. The building has since been tom down. In those early years wben fire struck, the tolling of the coun. house bell ~~aJed the v~~teer firemen to their post!\, Records s)iow that by )908, the department had 77: voluntee~ on its rolls. It was about'that time more equipment was purchased to serve the population of the village which then exceeded 7,000. The department pl\I'Chased its first piece of mechanized equ.lp· ment in 1929 - a Seagraves pumper. Many things have changed in the 160 years since that first group of volunteers organized into a fire department. In the 1960$. the three companies merged into a main aepanment and in the mid' 70s moved into a new bricl;: building on Butternut Avenue, which today houses modem fJre equipment. . The department has two pumpers. relatively new, a brush truck, a rescue truck and a bQat, and currently has a new ladder. truck on order. It operates with a membership of 40 volunteers. The current officers are Rick Blaettnar. chief; Todd Smith, first l!Ssistant; Chris Shilnk, second assistant: Tom Werry, first captain; Adam Smith. second captain. ; Clay Crow, Brian Zirkle and Bracy Kom. first. second and third lieutenants respectively.

Through the yeaili, Pomeroy has had perhaps more than its share of major fires destroying blocks of downtown businesses. Records show that in 1851, about one-third of the business buildings ill the midQie block of Pomeroy's Main Street were destroyed. Just five years later. another fire took many st ·~s in the middle and lower blocks of the village . But business was good, the population was growing and there was a flurry to rebuild and enjoy the prosperity of the times. The next Jlll\ior ftre came on a hot August morning in 1927. That fire started in the Priode Livery Stable on Second Street. nellf the building last occupied by Powell's SuperVaJu, presumabl~ from a short circuit ·in an automobile stored there.

Keeptng refripra· BY LAuREN E. ANDERioN, SIT BY JAMES SANDS Two nonagenarians have been in the news over the last few months and ironically they once met on the gridiron 73 years ago. President Gerald Ford and Pomeroy's own William Henry Harrison "Tippy" Dye got into the news in November 2006 before Ohio State played Michigan in football. Troy Smith was seeking to become the first Ohio State player to quanerback the Buckeyes to three straight wins over rival Michigan since Tippy Dye did it. Dye was quanerback for Ohio State in 1934, 1935 and 1936. Gerald Ford was staning center and captain of the 1934 Michigan team. During the 1934 game, Dye completed a TO pass to Red Cumisky as Ohio State won 34-0. The Bucks won the next two as well. Dye was a celebrity at the 2006 game, doing numerous interviews and speaking to the Ohio State team. He was asked whether Jerry Ford was a better football player or better president. Dye said, "I'd better not answer that. But he was a pretty good football player." Michigan had won the national title in back-tohack years in 1932 and 1933, but in 1934 they won only one game. Tippy Dye was born on Aprils Fool 's Day in 1915 in Harrisonville (Meigs County). In 1919, the Dye family moved to Sugar Run just outside of Pomeroy. In the fall of 1929, Dye entered Pomeroy High School as a freshman who weighed only I00 pounds. But by the end of that year, Tippy had become the starting quarterback for Pomeroy. He was on the basketball team that year but did not letter. But he was the staning third baseman on the baseball team. Over the last three years of Dye's high school career, he won three letters each in football, basketball and baseball. He also went out for tennis one year becoming the number one player. He even participated in many track events, holding the school record for the pole vault for many years. The 1931-32 Pomeroy basketball team won 25 straight games, putting them in the state semi-finals Akron West. against Pomeroy lost. This was before the tO-second rule and Tip used to dribble the ball in a stall after Pomeroy got the lead, often with some of his teammates sitting on the floor, so good was Dye 's ability to play keep away. That same year, the Pomeroy baseball team lost the state final game to Warren. Tip was influenced by his high school coach Farnham to attend Ohio State. There Tippy also played three sports. Dye was OSU's quarterback three years with perhaps his best game coming against Michigan in 1936 when he completed a long pass to Cummsky for the TO, a shovel pass to Rabb for a TD and then he returned a punt to Michigan six to set up the third and final score in that 21-0 game. In basketball, Dye was an all Big Ten selection in 1936 and 1937. He was even named on a few All American teams. After graduation, Dye was recruited to play for the first Cincinnati Bengals pro football team although weighing only 150 pounds. That team played in the AFL in 1937. In 1938, Dye became the backfield coach of the Ben~als, who that year were an mdependent team that beat the Chicallo Bears and Pittsburgh whtle tying the Chicago Cardinals. Dye then switched to high at school coaching Grandview in the Columbus area. After World War II, he was at Brown before coming back to Ohio State, where he was the head basketball coach from 1947 to 1950. In 1950, his team won the Big Ten Title and pla~ed CCNY in the NCAA. Thts was during the era of gambling. It was later discovered that one of the referees· had been paid to throw the game for CCNY, who went on the win the national title by winning both the NCAA and NIT. Dye left Ohio State in 1950 to become basketball at Washington coach University. He won three straight Pacific Coast Conference titles even making it to the Final Four in 1g53 . In 1959, Dye switched to administration, when he became athletic director at Wichita State. In 1962, he was named AD at Nebraska, where he helped turn Cornhusker football into a national powerhouse. In later years, Tippy was also AD at Washington and Northwestern, thus wrapping up one of the most successful sports careers in American history.

Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods. Large pots of food like soup or stew should be divided up into small portions an put in shallow containers before being refrigerated. Large cuts of meat or whole poultry should be divided into smaller portions and wra,Pped separately before refrigeration. Where foods are placed in the refrigeratiQ{I unit is important. The temperature in the refrigerator should be 40 degrees F or below throughout the cabinet. so any place within the cabinet is safe for food storage. Raw meat, poultry and seafood should be in sealed containers to prevent raw juices from contaminating other foods. Do not store perishable foods in the door. The temperature of the door fluctuates more than the temperature in the cabinet, so keep the door closed as much as possible. Eggs should be stored on the bottom shelf, not above any ready-to-eat food items, to prevent cross contamination. Some units have egg keepers in the door, usually on the top. This is a great idea, but eJlgs held in the door are subject to constant temperature change. If the egg keeper comes out of the door, use it, and keep it on the bottom shelf. This way the eggs are being held in a sturdy container that will aid in prevention of cross contarmnatiol1 and they will be held at a constant temperature of 40 degrees For below. Keeping your refrigerator clean is a very important step in keepin~ your food safe. Wipe up sptUs immediately and clean sudaces with hot, soapy water; then rinse. Make it a habit to check your refriaer· ator for spoilin& and out of date food items. A general rule of thumb for refrigemtor storage for cooked leftovers is four days; raw poultry and ground meats, one to two days. To keep your refrigerator smelling fresh and to help eliminate odors, place an opened box of baking soda on a shelf. Avoid using solvent cleaning agents, abrasives or an~ other cleaner that could tmpan taste to food or ice, or cause damage to the interior of your refrigerator. Follow your manufacturer's instructions. The exterior may be cleaned with a soft clqth and mild liquid detergent. The front grill should be kept free of dust and lint to penni! free alt. flow to the condenser. The condenser should be cleaned once or twice a year with a brush or vacuum to remove dirt and lint. Cleaning the, condenser will ensure effi~ ciency and top performance. Iffood has spoiled in your refrigerator and odors from the food remain, they can be difficult to remove. The foh lowing are some suggestion~ as to how to remove odors: • Wipe inside of unit with equal parts vinegar and water. Vinegar provides acid which destroys mildew! • Wash inside with a solu~ tion of baking soda and water. Scrub gaskets, shelves, sides, and door. Allow te air out several days. • Stuffc unit with rolleq newspapers. Close door and leave for several days . Remove paper and clean with vinegar and water. • Sprinkle fresh coffee grounds or baking soda loosely in the bottom of unit, or place them in an open container. • Place a cotton swab soaked with vanilla inside the freezer. Close door for 24 hours. Check for odors. For more information regardi11g refrigeratioll, contact l.aurfll Anderso11 at the Gallia County Health Deponment at (740) .1412~.3.

When inhaled, CO bonds . with hemoglobin (the oxy, gen-carrying part of the red blood cells) and forms car· boxyhemoglobin. CO actually bonds more readily (200 times!) with hemoglobin than oxygen does, so it very easily displaces oxygen in the blood. When it does this, the body's vital organs (hean, lungs, brain) are starved of oxygen and : · can ultimately be destroyed · with continued exposure. . The gas is naturally . ·formed when gas, oil, . kerosene, charcoal or wood is burned. When appliances that use these types of fuel are working properly and. vented to the outside, they are safe. However, when an appliance is malfunctioning , · or is used improperly, the gas can accumulate to a high level and cause severe · · illness or even death. The . · Centers for Disease Control · (CDC) reports that at least . 500 people die every year due. to accidental CO poisomng.

Since many of the symptoms are similar to those of the flu, food poisoning or other illnesses, you may not think that CO poisoning could be the cause. If you experience any of these symptoms and think they may be caused from CO, get fresh air immediately. Open windows <md doors and tum off combustion appliances and leave the house immediately. If you suspect CO poisoning you should seek medical assistance. You shoulu be prepareu to answer questions like the following: • Do your symptoms occur only in the house'' Do they disappear or uecrease when you leave hom~ and reappear when you return? • Is anyone else in your household complaining of similar symptoms'' Did everyone's symptoms appear about the same time'! • Are you using any fuelburning appliances in the home? • Has anyone inspected your appliances lately? Are you certain they are workmg properly? Don't ignore symptoms, especially if more than one person is feeling them.The EPA says that PREVENTION is the · key to avoiding CO poisoning. They recommend the following: DO have your fuel-burning appliances - including oil and gas furnaces, gas water heaters, gas ranges and ovens, gas dryers, gas. or kerosene space heaters, fireplaces and wood stoves - inspected by a trained professional at the beginning of every heating season. Make certain that the flues and chimneys are connected, in good condition, and not blocked. DO choose appliances that vent their fumes to the outside whenever possible, have them properly installed, and maintain them according to manufacturers' instructions . DO read and follow all of the instructions that accompany any fuel-burning device . If you cannot avoid using an unvented gas or kerosene space heater, carefully follow the cautions that come with the device. Use the proper fuel and keep doors to the rest of the house open. Crack a window to ensure enough air for ventilation and proper fuel-burning. They also re.:ommend that if you purchase a CO monitor for your hom~. you should research the products available before you buy. Some monitors have not been effective in giving an accurate reading of CO levels. Non-governmental Health department plans free vision clinic ' Sunday, January :14, 2007 a ·ncij1k ~j(\(t : 428 Sec.

Keeptng refripra· BY LAuREN E. ANDERioN, SIT BY JAMES SANDS Two nonagenarians have been in the news over the last few months and ironically they once met on the gridiron 73 years ago. President Gerald Ford and Pomeroy's own William Henry Harrison "Tippy" Dye got into the news in November 2006 before Ohio State played Michigan in football. Troy Smith was seeking to become the first Ohio State player to quanerback the Buckeyes to three straight wins over rival Michigan since Tippy Dye did it. Dye was quanerback for Ohio State in 1934, 1935 and 1936. Gerald Ford was staning center and captain of the 1934 Michigan team. During the 1934 game, Dye completed a TO pass to Red Cumisky as Ohio State won 34-0. The Bucks won the next two as well. Dye was a celebrity at the 2006 game, doing numerous interviews and speaking to the Ohio State team. He was asked whether Jerry Ford was a better football player or better president. Dye said, "I'd better not answer that. But he was a pretty good football player." Michigan had won the national title in back-tohack years in 1932 and 1933, but in 1934 they won only one game. Tippy Dye was born on Aprils Fool 's Day in 1915 in Harrisonville (Meigs County). In 1919, the Dye family moved to Sugar Run just outside of Pomeroy. In the fall of 1929, Dye entered Pomeroy High School as a freshman who weighed only I00 pounds. But by the end of that year, Tippy had become the starting quarterback for Pomeroy. He was on the basketball team that year but did not letter. But he was the staning third baseman on the baseball team. Over the last three years of Dye's high school career, he won three letters each in football, basketball and baseball. He also went out for tennis one year becoming the number one player. He even participated in many track events, holding the school record for the pole vault for many years. The 1931-32 Pomeroy basketball team won 25 straight games, putting them in the state semi-finals Akron West. against Pomeroy lost. This was before the tO-second rule and Tip used to dribble the ball in a stall after Pomeroy got the lead, often with some of his teammates sitting on the floor, so good was Dye 's ability to play keep away. That same year, the Pomeroy baseball team lost the state final game to Warren. Tip was influenced by his high school coach Farnham to attend Ohio State. There Tippy also played three sports. Dye was OSU's quarterback three years with perhaps his best game coming against Michigan in 1936 when he completed a long pass to Cummsky for the TO, a shovel pass to Rabb for a TD and then he returned a punt to Michigan six to set up the third and final score in that 21-0 game. In basketball, Dye was an all Big Ten selection in 1936 and 1937. He was even named on a few All American teams. After graduation, Dye was recruited to play for the first Cincinnati Bengals pro football team although weighing only 150 pounds. That team played in the AFL in 1937. In 1938, Dye became the backfield coach of the Ben~als, who that year were an mdependent team that beat the Chicallo Bears and Pittsburgh whtle tying the Chicago Cardinals. Dye then switched to high at school coaching Grandview in the Columbus area. After World War II, he was at Brown before coming back to Ohio State, where he was the head basketball coach from 1947 to 1950. In 1950, his team won the Big Ten Title and pla~ed CCNY in the NCAA. Thts was during the era of gambling. It was later discovered that one of the referees· had been paid to throw the game for CCNY, who went on the win the national title by winning both the NCAA and NIT. Dye left Ohio State in 1950 to become basketball at Washington coach University. He won three straight Pacific Coast Conference titles even making it to the Final Four in 1g53 . In 1959, Dye switched to administration, when he became athletic director at Wichita State. In 1962, he was named AD at Nebraska, where he helped turn Cornhusker football into a national powerhouse. In later years, Tippy was also AD at Washington and Northwestern, thus wrapping up one of the most successful sports careers in American history.

Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods. Large pots of food like soup or stew should be divided up into small portions an put in shallow containers before being refrigerated. Large cuts of meat or whole poultry should be divided into smaller portions and wra,Pped separately before refrigeration. Where foods are placed in the refrigeratiQ{I unit is important. The temperature in the refrigerator should be 40 degrees F or below throughout the cabinet. so any place within the cabinet is safe for food storage. Raw meat, poultry and seafood should be in sealed containers to prevent raw juices from contaminating other foods. Do not store perishable foods in the door. The temperature of the door fluctuates more than the temperature in the cabinet, so keep the door closed as much as possible. Eggs should be stored on the bottom shelf, not above any ready-to-eat food items, to prevent cross contamination. Some units have egg keepers in the door, usually on the top. This is a great idea, but eJlgs held in the door are subject to constant temperature change. If the egg keeper comes out of the door, use it, and keep it on the bottom shelf. This way the eggs are being held in a sturdy container that will aid in prevention of cross contarmnatiol1 and they will be held at a constant temperature of 40 degrees For below. Keeping your refrigerator clean is a very important step in keepin~ your food safe. Wipe up sptUs immediately and clean sudaces with hot, soapy water; then rinse. Make it a habit to check your refriaer· ator for spoilin& and out of date food items. A general rule of thumb for refrigemtor storage for cooked leftovers is four days; raw poultry and ground meats, one to two days. To keep your refrigerator smelling fresh and to help eliminate odors, place an opened box of baking soda on a shelf. Avoid using solvent cleaning agents, abrasives or an~ other cleaner that could tmpan taste to food or ice, or cause damage to the interior of your refrigerator. Follow your manufacturer's instructions. The exterior may be cleaned with a soft clqth and mild liquid detergent. The front grill should be kept free of dust and lint to penni! free alt. flow to the condenser. The condenser should be cleaned once or twice a year with a brush or vacuum to remove dirt and lint. Cleaning the, condenser will ensure effi~ ciency and top performance. Iffood has spoiled in your refrigerator and odors from the food remain, they can be difficult to remove. The foh lowing are some suggestion~ as to how to remove odors: • Wipe inside of unit with equal parts vinegar and water. Vinegar provides acid which destroys mildew! • Wash inside with a solu~ tion of baking soda and water. Scrub gaskets, shelves, sides, and door. Allow te air out several days. • Stuffc unit with rolleq newspapers. Close door and leave for several days . Remove paper and clean with vinegar and water. • Sprinkle fresh coffee grounds or baking soda loosely in the bottom of unit, or place them in an open container. • Place a cotton swab soaked with vanilla inside the freezer. Close door for 24 hours. Check for odors. For more information regardi11g refrigeratioll, contact l.aurfll Anderso11 at the Gallia County Health Deponment at (740) .1412~.3.

When inhaled, CO bonds . with hemoglobin (the oxy, gen-carrying part of the red blood cells) and forms car· boxyhemoglobin. CO actually bonds more readily (200 times!) with hemoglobin than oxygen does, so it very easily displaces oxygen in the blood. When it does this, the body's vital organs (hean, lungs, brain) are starved of oxygen and : · can ultimately be destroyed · with continued exposure. . The gas is naturally . ·formed when gas, oil, . kerosene, charcoal or wood is burned. When appliances that use these types of fuel are working properly and. vented to the outside, they are safe. However, when an appliance is malfunctioning , · or is used improperly, the gas can accumulate to a high level and cause severe · · illness or even death. The . · Centers for Disease Control · (CDC) reports that at least . 500 people die every year due. to accidental CO poisomng. During I he winter months, - many of us start our vehicles in the garage so that we can have a warm car to ride in. According to the . Environmental Protection : : . Agency (EPA), even with the garage door left open, · this is not a safe practice. The fumes can quickly fill - up the garage and your home. Many times during a power outage people will try to heat their home with a gas stove or oven. or will use a gas or kerosene heater that is not working properly.

ON THE BOOKSHELF NEW HAYEN , W.Va.- Samuel and Helen Hal stead celebrated their 60th wedding anniwrsary earlier this week. The Halsteads were married Jan . 11 , 1947, in Catlettsburg, Ky. They are the proud parents of three sons. Ed (Debby) Halstead of Loui sville , Ky., Steve (Diane) Hal stead of Leport. Texas, and Tim (Dawn l Halstead of Letart. W.Va. They have been blessed with seven grandchildren. Brent . (Amy) Hal >tead and Brock (Carrie) Hal stead, all of Louisville, Ky .. Seth Halstead of Leport, Texas, Maryn Halstead of Morgantown, W.Va. , Shonna Halstead of Charleston, W.Va.. Emily Meadows of Cincinnati, and Hunter Hal stead of Leport, Texas. They also have three great-grandchildren. Ayden Willard. Camryn Hal stead and Brandon Halstead . The Hal steads were honored by their family in celebration of their anni versary with a family dinner and open house . They express their thankfulness to God for their fam ily and all the blessings of life. Most aut.hors' work would suffer from comparison with Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain, winner of the National Book Award, also made into a great movie starring Nicole Kidman and Jude Law. His second novel , Thirteen Moo11s, may also suffer from comparison with it, for its was an "astoni shing debut." However, Thirteen Moo11s has plenty to recommend it, too. 'It is essentially a memoir, written by a man nearly a century old, who witnessed great changes in his part of the country, the mountains of North Carolina. Will Cooper was sent to a little trading post to manage it when he was 12 years old. He was a "bound boy," sold into servitude by his aunt and uncle after his pare nts died. He was given a map, a key and a horse and sent into the wilderness bordering the Nation, home of the Cherokee. He eventually makes it to his destination, after meeting up with the part-time Indian gambler and adve nturer, Featherstone. He also meets his one true love . Beverly Gettles Claire, whom he "wins" in a card game from Featherstone . Treachery ensues, and he leaves the scene without his money, his coat and Claire. The old Indian chief, Bear, adopts young Will into the tribe and becomes his father figure. He learns much from the old man hi s hunting storie s. his superstit ions, the rules of the tribe. Will grows in wisdom and in strength. He lungs for a home and finds that sense or belonging with the Indians. Claire keeps reappearing throughout Will 's long li fe, and they have several wonderful and carefree interludes. It seems another story of futile love in a hostile environment. much like the romance in Cold Mountain. Maybe there is nothing more fascinating than lovers who don't end up happily ever after. (See Dr. Zhimgo or Romeo and Juliet.) If you care about detailed descriptions of weather or terrain, Frazier is your man. He loves this country and hi s passion comes through clearly in his words. The Indians named each of the 13 different moons which appeared during the year Wind Moon, Com Moon . Will is self-educated, a voracious reader. He has wit and humor and a large vocabulary. He descri bes old Bear's hands "swollen knuckle joints, the veins thick as night crawlers under the creped skin of hi s handbacks ..." A large section of the book tells of the Relocation · of the Cherokee, done by the U.S. government, because others wanted to be rid of the Indians, and the y wanted the land. It is a pitiful and shameful chapter in our history. He is present at the beginning of the "Trai l of Tears," when the Indians are hunted down and expelled from their home- land . Will studies the law, goes to Washington, where he meets Andrew Jackson, John C. Calhoun and Davy Crockett. Will , who is now called the white chief, tries to save Bear's land for the tribe and keep his people from being forced to vacate to the West. The book is long, as Cooper's life is long, and that life has its successes and its failures. He never marries and longs for the elu ~ ive Claire all his lonel y days. He muses, "It's a bad idea to live too long . Few carry it off well." He says that we all think we will live forever when we're young. But he finds that. "You find yourself exiled in a transformed world peopled by strangers. Lost in places you've known as intimately as the back of your hand." The land he loves is a character in this love! y novel. Frazier's appreciation of his beloved mountains shines again in Thir1ee11 Moo11 s, just as it did in Cold Moumain . It is a diiTerent story, but not a lesser story. I found them both immensely rewarding and enjoyable . BY RANDOLPH E. SCHMID ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER "When the Dat~cing Stopped: The Real Story of the Mo"o Castle Disaster and Its Deadly Wake.

"What can you do? It's out of your hands. really," said Scott Kunst, owner of Old House Gardens, an Ann Arbor, Mich., nursery specializing in heritage flower bulbs. "We still have a lot of winter ahead. If it makes you feel any better. you can cover things with clay pots. But these bulbs have been coming up for millennia. This isn't the lirst spate of unusually warm weather they've seen." Nature will son th~ngs out and for the most part, leave blooming and fruiting plants little the worse for it, Kunst said. "The only time I've seen foliage or flowers damaged was one time in March when we got temps of about 5 degrees above for five days. They turned to mush. Even then, there was foliage under the ground that pushed its way up and the plants weren't seriously compromised. "I've also seen !lowers lying down on an early spring morning, seemingly damaged by frost, then by noon standing up, perfectly AP plloto A bee alights on a cherry tree at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in New York, Wednesday, Jan. 3. Above average temperatures for most of the winter in New York have allowed thousands of flowers to emerge on this tree which is usually very bare this time of year. healthy. Most (bulbs) can take these things in stride." The Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City made headlines in early January when five of its ever-blooming cherry trees were profusely in flower. That species (Prunus Fudan-Zakura) is expected to begin !lowering in late November, but not in such profusion. A few weeks of unusually balmy weather produced a spectacular run of thousands of blooms rather than the several hundred usually making an ap~arance. 'They'Te dramatic but sporadic," said Patrick Cullina, vice president, Horticulture and Facilities, at the botanic garden . ''They ' re not displaying every possible blossom. though. The bulk of our cherry collection is still asleep. The big show is still on (for spring)." Many trees and shrubs require a donnant period in order to bloom. A number of cherry, apricot and peach trees in the area along with forsythias, lilacs, rhododendrons and others have been tricked into thinking tbey already experienced a dormant period, Cullina said. "All these plants are early indicators of spring. Those trees that have bloomed now won't bloom. again in spring. But anything that hasn't bloomed yet will be blooming later. Their flower buds were formed the previ- ous summer." Such flowers lead usually to fruit, and while the early blooms likely won't have enough time to set fruit, that isn't such a problem with ornamentals, Cullina said. "That's largely aesthetic. It is (a problem) for commercial orchards, though. It's a big deal if you're trying to grow peaches for next year." Ground that would be rock-hard this time of year in many sections of the country remains workable for cultivation. Take around Maine, for instance. lois Berg Stack, a University of Maine cooperative extension specialist in ornamental horticulture, went into her Orono back- yard with a spade one day the first week of January, looking for the depth of the frost line. "I found frost only in the raised bed," she said. ''There's apparently enough geothermal heat that flat ground has not yet developed a frost layer, even at an 8-inch depth. In tbe raised bed, where the soil is elevated and exposed to temperatures that are colder, there was a bit of frost about linch deep, but I could easily dig through it." So while it's conceivable a person still can drop some spring-blooming bulbs into the ground, it isn't advisable. "Bulbs such as tulips and daffodils are opllmally planted in late fall, when they produce good root growtb but no top growth," Stack said. "Bulb root development requires several weeks of cool soil temperatures. We've had extra weeks of ~ood rooting conditions this year, but that could end witb a blizzard nellt week. Planting now is risky." She added that a bulb "planted too late to develop roots will still send up a flower stalk in spring, and that stalk will need water and nutrients as it develops. A spring -emerjling bulb without roots w1ll die, primarily because there are no roots to provide water to supply the growth." Well-tended lawns, mean- • ~~ while, are resilient aod should perform normal'¥ through tb_e nellt grow1~ season, she said. : "In the past few yeat~. people have moved toward one fertilizer applicatisll per year, for maintenanC!: and environmental reasons. A widely recommended target date for a one-time application is late fall, generally during that window of lime between the last mowing and the ground freezing. The rationale is that fenilizer is taken up by the grass plants in late fall while thetr roots are still active, and stored in the root systems, providing for a quick green-up in spring without an exuberant !lush of early season llrowth. "This year m1ght present a different scenario," she said. "I suspect that some of those nutrients have already been used during the green growth of the past several weeks and that fertility levels in spring will be low." Stack, however, isn't recommending that die-hard gardeners take tbeir planti· ng paraphernalia out of the potting sheds anytime soon, despite the current warm temperatures. "There's lots of wintef ahead of us," she said, "and lam hoping for many snowfalls. r have not put away my snowshoes and I expect to use them many times in the next few months. I can wait to plant peas." • Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio ,) 11(1'\1""•\nl .-~h , '\o SPORTS • Lady Marauders beat Raiders.

The better you orchestrate the necessary sequence of heat, light and moisture, the better the blooms. But take heart: A few kinds of datl'odils and crocuses can be coaxed into bloom with little or no effort. The easiest daffodils to force into bloom are the Tazettas, which include luminescent Paperwhites as well as golden Solei! d'Or. Most daffodil bulbs need some cold to get roots and flowers goi·ng: Tazettas do not. The only thing Tazettas need to get them going is moisture. Plant them in a tlowerpot or even a pebble-tilled bowl that is at least 3 inches deep.

According to figures from Meigs County Auditor Mary Byer-Hill. the county $1,137,806.99 collected from its one-percent sales tax. In 2002, the county collected $1, 124,460. The years in between saw steady declines in the monthly and yearly collection totals, ret1ecting a struggling retail economy and the loss of some major retail outlets. County officials watched the collection figures increase nearly every month last year. Only three months, February, May and June, saw collections drop in comparison to 2005 figures. The sales tax is an important source of revenue for the county's operations, and the increase is seen as a sign of an improving economy, both locally and in the Sullmlttttl photoo larger picture. The sales tax is paid by This unnamed creek, which flows into Thomas Fork on the State Route 143 side of Bailey Run Road, is currently listed as the Ohio Department of the main contributor of acid mine drainage in the Leading Creek Watershed.
