Board members for the year are Ann . Brown, Carolyn Cogar. Pat Compton, Henny Evans, Dorothy Frazier, Barbara Richards and Marian Schoonover. Evans is the president · and Richards the vice president, with Brown as • treasurer, and Frazier and · Cogar as recording and corresponding secretaries, respectively. The group is putting on ; the finishing touches to • their new office, which is · located conveniently with plenty of parking both in the city lot across the · street and on-street park: ing. They are a couple of : doors away from the ~ Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau and also within a block of several restaurants and the · City Park. : The office is fully fur: nished, but the society is · still in need of a few shelves and supplies. Many people generously . donated to make this facil: ity possible. Furniture • from a surplus warehouse : and from a going out of business sale was purchased to be used alongside the donations. The chapter was char. tered in 1983 and have : continuously been serving : your genealogical needs for almost 24 years. This society is the chartered · Ohio Genealogical Society Chapter for Gallia : County. There can be only ~ one per county. They introduced the lineage societies First Families, Civil War, and Settlers and Builders based on the OGS organizations. According to Evans, the first of these liqeage groups, First Families, was started in 1990 during the bicentennial year for Gallipolis and over 200 members documented and recognized their ancestors who had arrived in Gallia County by 1820. This group has now grown to over 700 members. Since 1990, they have started Civil War Families of Gallia County, OGS and the more recent Senlers and Builders of Gallia County, OGS which is for those with ances to rs in Gallia · County between 1821 and 1860. Since 1983, hundreds of people have joined the societies and donated their family histories to the Genealogical Society. lndi viduals are encouraged to continue to do ' both. It is always a good idea to have copies of your work in a library or research facility. Please take them to 57 Court St. or send them to P.O . Box 1007, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. Brown said.

"We feel this has : opened the door in our no paid employees, everyone is a volunteer and the only char~e to the public is for cop1es . The society does not charge for research ~ We have voluntarily helped many researchers complete lineage society application s or helped them to break their 'brick walls' or just simply look up a record . "There is a misconception that there is a charge for research," she added . ';,This is incorrect and all time and help is by volunteers and is free ." The board believes the public will be pleased with the new facility. During office hours, there will always be volunteers to help at 57 Court St. Researchers will have access to lineage society files with a volunteer to help. There are also over 400 family historie s which one can peruse at one's leisure. There are also close to I0,000 probate records, fully indexed, which the researcher may examine and from which a volunteer will make copies if one wishes. The chapter also has all of Michael Trowbridge ~s Civil War research and his family papers. These have yet to be sorted, but members are working on getting them organized for the public to use. There are about 20 publications prepared by the group that are for sale. One may use these as well. They include such things as tax lists, birth and death records, a will index, will abstracts, census records and several others. Also for sale are Hardesty's History of Gallia County and The Gallipolis Pictorial History. The cha{lter has an active webstte filled with genealogical bits and pieces. This is galliagenealogy.org and among items found there are approximately 38 to 40 thousand burial records . In the past year, they have ufdated Gravel Hill, most o Ohio Valley Memory Gardens, Mount Zion in Green Township. Poplar Ridge and Galha Baptist and have added a significant number of names from both Pine Street and Mound Hill. They welcome additions and corrections to this list. They also appreciate obituaries and shot! history items, photos of Gallia County interest and church records and Civil War information. These items might also be used in the quarterly newsletter Gallia Crossroads and Cornerstones , of which Richards is the editor. · In the last year, Evans reported that the group sponsored a Genealogical Help Event in May to help Scouts and 4-Hers with their projects, hosted a district seminar at the University of Rio Grande with the topic "How Did Our Ancestors Get Here?" Over 90 people attended. They also attended a chapter management seminar and the annual Ohio Genealogical Society Conference. The se co nferences g1ve them the opportunity to learn the late st resources available and to learn from a variety of speakers as well as to network and se ll their publications. Membership grew by about 35 per cent between January and December. Dues remain at $10 for any two people in a household and $15 for a family of three or more . Members live from coast to coast, California to Pennsylvania, South Dakota to Florida. The society also sponsored the 17th Annual Lineage Banquet and approved I07 applications for the societies. Vice President Richard Cheney was accepted into the Civil War Familie s of Gallia County, OGS as an honorary member. The group is working on a new publication which will be of interest to the general public as well as the genealogist.. "The Chapter expresses thanks to each and everyone who helped us get the <?Jfice open whether he gave money, supplies, physical labor or moral support," Evans said. "Now it's time for the fun part -research, research, research. Last year. the K of P gave a donation of $5,000 to the organization and another $5,000 donation was received from a friend in South Carolina at the end of the year. These monies allow the society to open its doors, pay the bills and greet the public. "Many other donations are just as important to us as they will keep the society in paper supplies or may have bought a bookcase or a filing cabinet or a desk," she added. "We could not open an office withoUt this tremendous outpouring of support!" Just keep an eye out for the day they open and the hours they will be available. They will probably start with three days a week but will also have hours by appointment hopefully as often as needed. And please remember that they are not a new group, not at all.

Board members for the year are Ann . Brown, Carolyn Cogar. Pat Compton, Henny Evans, Dorothy Frazier, Barbara Richards and Marian Schoonover. Evans is the president · and Richards the vice president, with Brown as • treasurer, and Frazier and · Cogar as recording and corresponding secretaries, respectively. The group is putting on ; the finishing touches to • their new office, which is · located conveniently with plenty of parking both in the city lot across the · street and on-street park: ing. They are a couple of : doors away from the ~ Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau and also within a block of several restaurants and the · City Park. : The office is fully fur: nished, but the society is · still in need of a few shelves and supplies. Many people generously . donated to make this facil: ity possible. Furniture • from a surplus warehouse : and from a going out of business sale was purchased to be used alongside the donations. The chapter was char. tered in 1983 and have : continuously been serving : your genealogical needs for almost 24 years. This society is the chartered · Ohio Genealogical Society Chapter for Gallia : County. There can be only ~ one per county. They introduced the lineage societies First Families, Civil War, and Settlers and Builders based on the OGS organizations. According to Evans, the first of these liqeage groups, First Families, was started in 1990 during the bicentennial year for Gallipolis and over 200 members documented and recognized their ancestors who had arrived in Gallia County by 1820. This group has now grown to over 700 members. Since 1990, they have started Civil War Families of Gallia County, OGS and the more recent Senlers and Builders of Gallia County, OGS which is for those with ances to rs in Gallia · County between 1821 and 1860. Since 1983, hundreds of people have joined the societies and donated their family histories to the Genealogical Society. lndi viduals are encouraged to continue to do ' both. It is always a good idea to have copies of your work in a library or research facility. Please take them to 57 Court St. or send them to P.O . Box 1007, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. Brown said. "We have Teens from PageA1 Deltano drove the message home that he believed virginity soould be the norm as should pride in that virginity. "Virgins will rock!"

"We feel this has : opened the door in our no paid employees, everyone is a volunteer and the only char~e to the public is for cop1es . The society does not charge for research ~ We have voluntarily helped many researchers complete lineage society application s or helped them to break their 'brick walls' or just simply look up a record . "There is a misconception that there is a charge for research," she added . ';,This is incorrect and all time and help is by volunteers and is free ." The board believes the public will be pleased with the new facility. During office hours, there will always be volunteers to help at 57 Court St. Researchers will have access to lineage society files with a volunteer to help. There are also over 400 family historie s which one can peruse at one's leisure. There are also close to I0,000 probate records, fully indexed, which the researcher may examine and from which a volunteer will make copies if one wishes. The chapter also has all of Michael Trowbridge ~s Civil War research and his family papers. These have yet to be sorted, but members are working on getting them organized for the public to use. There are about 20 publications prepared by the group that are for sale. One may use these as well. They include such things as tax lists, birth and death records, a will index, will abstracts, census records and several others. Also for sale are Hardesty's History of Gallia County and The Gallipolis Pictorial History. The cha{lter has an active webstte filled with genealogical bits and pieces. This is galliagenealogy.org and among items found there are approximately 38 to 40 thousand burial records . In the past year, they have ufdated Gravel Hill, most o Ohio Valley Memory Gardens, Mount Zion in Green Township. Poplar Ridge and Galha Baptist and have added a significant number of names from both Pine Street and Mound Hill. They welcome additions and corrections to this list. They also appreciate obituaries and shot! history items, photos of Gallia County interest and church records and Civil War information. These items might also be used in the quarterly newsletter Gallia Crossroads and Cornerstones , of which Richards is the editor. · In the last year, Evans reported that the group sponsored a Genealogical Help Event in May to help Scouts and 4-Hers with their projects, hosted a district seminar at the University of Rio Grande with the topic "How Did Our Ancestors Get Here?" Over 90 people attended. They also attended a chapter management seminar and the annual Ohio Genealogical Society Conference. The se co nferences g1ve them the opportunity to learn the late st resources available and to learn from a variety of speakers as well as to network and se ll their publications. Membership grew by about 35 per cent between January and December. Dues remain at $10 for any two people in a household and $15 for a family of three or more . Members live from coast to coast, California to Pennsylvania, South Dakota to Florida. The society also sponsored the 17th Annual Lineage Banquet and approved I07 applications for the societies. Vice President Richard Cheney was accepted into the Civil War Familie s of Gallia County, OGS as an honorary member. The group is working on a new publication which will be of interest to the general public as well as the genealogist.. "The Chapter expresses thanks to each and everyone who helped us get the <?Jfice open whether he gave money, supplies, physical labor or moral support," Evans said. "Now it's time for the fun part -research, research, research. Last year. the K of P gave a donation of $5,000 to the organization and another $5,000 donation was received from a friend in South Carolina at the end of the year. These monies allow the society to open its doors, pay the bills and greet the public. "Many other donations are just as important to us as they will keep the society in paper supplies or may have bought a bookcase or a filing cabinet or a desk," she added. "We could not open an office withoUt this tremendous outpouring of support!" Just keep an eye out for the day they open and the hours they will be available. They will probably start with three days a week but will also have hours by appointment hopefully as often as needed. And please remember that they are not a new group, not at all. They were organized in 1983 and have simply moved into a new office. perform March 30 through April I.

READER'S PageA4 VIEW Bad idea ItS too closefor comfort here Dear Editor: I am writing in regards to the Kineon Drive article written in the Wednesday. Jan. 17 edition of your paper (Gallipolis Daily Tribune), "Residents discuss concerns with city." I am a resident of Kineon Drive and I see no problem at all with the situation here. This is a small street with a lot of houses and a lot of people all close together. Th make one side of the street parking and one side non-parking is a bad idea. You would have to ma~e this street one-way because two lanes of traffic wouldn't fit and even with that done, there wouldn't be any room for people to park. There are too many people, with too many cars. Whose side of the street would be traffic, and whose parking? What would be a good idea on this street and the other two connecting streets would be a 15 mph speed limit and some speed bumps. Now there is a good idea. Sunday, January 21,2007 Once again, the State of Vermont has let a vicious child molester off lightly, and once again a child's life has become a political cover up. County, Bennington Vermont · is a pretty. touristy area which is supposed to be relatively crime free. But 37-yearold Andrew James is a known troublemaker, a man convicted of a violent felony - attacking hi s wife with a screwdriver in front of his own small children. For that, James served 30 days in jail. But then James upped the criminal ante and molested a 4-year-old boy. After cutting a deal with prosecutor Andrew Costello, James pleaded guilty and Judge David Howard sentenced him to . probation and mandatory "treatment," which means this monster is walking around free right now. In the spring of 2006. the little boy told his aunt that he was afraid of Andrew James, who lived very close to him. The aunt '~ investigated and Bill O'Reilly found out that James was molesting the boy in a terrible way. The police were called and. according to the affidavit in the case, the boy told social worker Kyle Hoover and police Officer Paul McGanns that James had molested him ten times. The boy pointed to anatomically . correct drawings to de scribe his ordeal. After examining the situation; prosecutor Costello came to the conclusion that the boy would be a weak witness and cut the deal. But Costello also had the social worker, the cop, the aunt . and the boy's older brother to back up the 4-year-old 's account. Yes, it was a circumstantial case. But with James' violent back- ground. a decent prosecutor takes the shot in court. Vermont is one of two states that practices "restorative justice," Minnesota being the other. That philosophy says for true justice to take place. the criminal as well as the victim must be "healed." Restorative justice states that a "holistic" approach to crime is best for society. Of course, the U.S. code of justice states that the punishment must fit the crime. Allowing a brutal child molester to walk free while getting "treatment" is certainly not punishment enough for traumatizing a 4-year-old perhaps for life. Last year, Vermont Judge Edward Cashman initially sentenced a man who sodomized a six-year-old girl over a four-year period to just 60 days in jail. The en suing national outcry forced Cashman to up the sentence to three years. Still, far too lenient. Vermont's elected officials and media supponed Cashman, and now have once again rallied to suppon Judge Howard. They have also anacked me for reponing this awful situation to you. Shortly after Cashman's abomination last year, the Vermont legislature had a chance to pass Jessica's Law tough mandatory prison terms for child predators. The legislature voted down Jessica's Law. There is no excuse for what is happening in Vermont. Its Senators Patrick Leahy (ironically, the head of the Judiciary Committee), Bernie Sanders, and its Governor, Jim Douglas, have all run awa·x from the situation. Meantime, children in their state continue to be brutalized with relatively small consequences for the predators. America is a great country, but this situation shames us all. Every society is judged by how it protects its weakest citizens. In Vermont, an innocent 4year-old boy and an innocent 6-year-old girl have been violated in unspeakable ways. And not just by their predators. LETTERS TO THE . EDITOR Letters to the editor are welcome. They should be less than 300 words.

Bany Lafayette Jr. David L Powea s Dallas Richard Ansel . Pelosi, White House clash over sending troops to Iraq BY ANNE FLAHERTY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Meres the beif? (Low fat) Recently, a reader named Jim Cornell sent me a postcard with a picture of insects on it, posing an interesting question. (No, the insects were not posing a question . As far as I know.) Jim stated that he, like every other American above the age of 4, is on a low-fat diet, and he noted that we have become basically a non-fat nation. This is true; virtually all edible substances, and many automotive products, are now marketed as being "low-fat" or "fat-free." Americans are obsessed with fat content. DOCTOR: Mrs . Stoatbonker, you will die within hours unless you take this antibiotic. PATIENT: Is it fat-free? DOCTOR: I don't know. PATIENT: I'll just have a Diet Pepsi. So anyway, Jim, afte~ noting that " millions of pounds of formerly fat-rich food is now de-fatted." asks: "What are they doing with all that fat?'' Jim, that is an excellent question, and I intend to answer it just as soon as I have written enough words to make a column. (Don't you wish you had a job like mine? All you have to do is think up a cenain number, of wm:ds! Plus, you can repeal words! And they don't even have to be true!) First, however, we need to consider exactly what "fat" is. Just off the top of my bead, wi~t glancing at a dictionary, I would define fat as "any of various mixtures of solid or semisolid triglycerides found in adipose animal tissue or in the seeds of plants." A "triglyc- Dave Barry eride," as I vaguely recall from my high -~ chool years, is "any of a group of esters, CH2(00CR I)CH(OOCR2) CH2(00CR3), derived from glycerol and three fatty acid radicals." But what does this mean? One thing it means, of course, is that "Three Fatty Acid Radicals" would be an excellent name for a rock band. But it also means that fat is some kind of chemical item that nature puts inside cenain plants and animals to make them taste better. A good rule of thumb is: The more fat something contains, the better it tastes. This is why ·we eat hamburgers, but we do not eat ants. Ants have a very low fat content, so nobody eats them except unfonunate animals such as birds, who, because of a design flaw, cannot use drive-thru windows. Human beings, on the other hand, enjoy hamburgers, because they (the hamburgers) come {rom cows, which are notoriously fat. You will never see a cow voluntarily going anywhere near an Abdominizer. Of course, there have been efforts to make lowfat "hamburgers." In researching this column, I purchased a product called "Harvest Burgers." whkh are "All Vegetable Protein Patties" manufactured by the Green Giant Corp. Upon examining the package, the first thing I noticed was that the Jolly Green Giant has apparently had plastic surgery. He no longer looks like the "Ho! Ho 1 Ho!" guy; he now looks like Paul McCartney on steroids. Check it out. The second thing I noticed is that the key ingredient in Harvest Burgers is "soy." This ingredient is found in many low-fat foods, and I think it's time that the Food and Drug Administration told us just what the hell it is. A plant? A mineral? An animal? Are there enormous soy ranches in Nebraska, with vast herds of soys bleating and suckling their young? As a consumer, I'd like some answers. I don't want to discover years from now that "soy" is an oriental word meaning "compressed ant parts." This is not intended as a criticism of the "Harvest Burger," which is a well-constructed, extremely cylindrical frozen unit of brown foodlike substance. The package states that it contains "83 percent less fat than g·round beef'; I believe this, because it also tastes exactly 83 percent less good than ground beef. Nevenheless I highly recommend it for anybody who needs more "soy" or a backup hockey puck. Oh, sure. there will be people who will claim that soy patties taste "almost as good" as real han1burgers. These are the same people who have convinced them- selves that rice cakes taste "almost as good" as potato chips, when in fact eating rice cakes is like chewing on a foam coffee cup, only less filling. You could fill a container with roofing shingles and put it in the supermarket with a sign that said "ZERO-FAT ROOFING SHINGLES," and these people would buy it and convince themselves it tasted "almost as good" as French toast. Yes, we have become a low-fat society, which brings us back to the question posed by Jim Cornell: What's being done with all the fat? Jim offers this theory: "I suspect that they're dumping iUn some small town in Texas or Mexico." No way, Jim. Our government would never allow a major fat-dumping facility in the same region where we're storing the dead UFO aliens. No, the truth is that the fat is being loaded into giant tanker trucks, transponed l:iy night and pumped into: my thighs. There was no choice: was Marlon Brando already full. But I'm happy to do my part for a leaner America, so don •t bother to thank me. Are you going to finish those fries? Postscript: After I wrote this column, my editor, Tom Shrader, sent me a note saying he thinks he read somewhere that ants do contain fat. I think he's wrong, but since we're bOth professional journaliii!s, neither of us will look it up. I will say this: If ants do contain fat, it's only a matter of time before somebody cornes out with low-fat ants. WASHINGTON- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi contended Friday that President Bush is rushing new troops to Iraq and betting that Congress won't cut off funds once they're in battle. Tbe White House called her assenion '~isonous." In an exchange of harsh rhetoric that underscored the intensity of the political fight, Pelosi, D-Calif., said the war should not be "an obligation of the American people in perpetuity." "The president knows that because the troops are in harm's way, that we won't cut off the resources. That's why he's moving so quicklr, to put them in harm's way, ' Pelosi said on ABC's "Good Morning America." When asked whether she thought the president manipulated the deployments to avoid congressional action, Pelosi said she hoped he did not but thought "he could have told us about it sooner. ... We found out about it as the troops were going in." White House spokeswoman Dana Perino retorted that lawmakers are involved in a "sound bite war" against Bush, counter to Democrats' promises of bipartisanship. "Those particular com- ments were poisonous," Perino said. "I think questioning the president's motivations and suggesting that he, for some political reason, is rushing troops into harm's way, is not appropriate, it is not correct, and it is unfonunate because we do have troops in harm's way." In a letter to Bush, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. D-Nev., said they were eager to work "in a bipartisan fashion on the terrorism issue and in so doing strengthen the relationship between your administration and Congress." Meanwhile. support was building around a resolution that would oppose Bush's plans for more troops to Iraq. Senate Democrats, backed by Republicans Olympia Snowe of Maine and Chuck Ha~el of Nebraska, unveiled legtslation this week that would criticize Bush's decision. "It is not in the national interest of the United States to deepen its military involvement in Iraq, particular! y by escalating the United States military force presence in Iraq," the nonbinding Senate measure states. "When we hold the up-ordown vote - and in the many votes that follow our troops will get everrthing they need," Reid satd TANLEY A IINfJFr•ll Cellll.-rtbe available to )00 3l oo clr.itw oourte;y of HCC,ltl: .. a finll <i nalionally MX>gl1i1ai mmlsmallsbi, arll oak Hill Banks to eo.'3lwle )UII'ooill. ~ ln<n')' :nl pntKu rmak In Ire p<N )\!'&, ather dimes, cparters ani half dollm ha~ lll:realtrl In marlta vahE by 50'K..

"President Bu sh will di scuss his determination to defeat the terrorists who are part of a broader extremist movement that is now doing everything if can to defeat us in Iraq," White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said. "If the extremists prevail in Iraq, the American people will be less safe and our enemies will be emboldened and more lethal ," Perino said. Bush probably will try to link the war to the threat to America since the Sept. II attacks, said Bruce Riedel, a former official at the National Security Council and analyst at the liberal Brookings Institution. "Who can be against terrorism?" Riedel asked. "Fear is a commodity that the administration has sold before, and right now they're not having much success with the public or the Congress with the arguments they've trotted out on the (troop) surge." The costs of the war and the deficit are expected to preclude Bush . from announcing expensive new programs. On the domestic side, the president plaps to highlight Immigration, health care and urge Congress to renew the No Child Left Behind education law. He is expected to call on Congress to preserve tax cuts. balance the budget within five years and work to make the costs of the war more transparent in the federal budget. Bush will propose a tax break to people who buy their own· health insurance and a cap on how much coverage individuals can receive tax free at work, officials say. The proposal would give those who buy their own health care coverage the same tax benefits now enjoyed by those with employer-sponsored plans. Bush also will announce steps next week to take some federal money now going to hospitals and institutions and give it to states for programs to get medical coverage for the more than 46 million people without insurance. As in his previous State of the Union addresses, Bush probably will lament the U.S. reliance on foreign sources of energy and express support for alternative fuels . Auto industry officials expect the president to ask Congress once more for ·the power to change fuel economy standards for passenger cars.

READER'S PageA4 VIEW Bad idea ItS too closefor comfort here Dear Editor: I am writing in regards to the Kineon Drive article written in the Wednesday. Jan. 17 edition of your paper (Gallipolis Daily Tribune), "Residents discuss concerns with city." I am a resident of Kineon Drive and I see no problem at all with the situation here. This is a small street with a lot of houses and a lot of people all close together. Th make one side of the street parking and one side non-parking is a bad idea. You would have to ma~e this street one-way because two lanes of traffic wouldn't fit and even with that done, there wouldn't be any room for people to park. There are too many people, with too many cars. Whose side of the street would be traffic, and whose parking? What would be a good idea on this street and the other two connecting streets would be a 15 mph speed limit and some speed bumps. Now there is a good idea. Sunday, January 21,2007 Once again, the State of Vermont has let a vicious child molester off lightly, and once again a child's life has become a political cover up. County, Bennington Vermont · is a pretty. touristy area which is supposed to be relatively crime free. But 37-yearold Andrew James is a known troublemaker, a man convicted of a violent felony - attacking hi s wife with a screwdriver in front of his own small children. For that, James served 30 days in jail. But then James upped the criminal ante and molested a 4-year-old boy. After cutting a deal with prosecutor Andrew Costello, James pleaded guilty and Judge David Howard sentenced him to . probation and mandatory "treatment," which means this monster is walking around free right now. In the spring of 2006. the little boy told his aunt that he was afraid of Andrew James, who lived very close to him. The aunt '~ investigated and Bill O'Reilly found out that James was molesting the boy in a terrible way. The police were called and. according to the affidavit in the case, the boy told social worker Kyle Hoover and police Officer Paul McGanns that James had molested him ten times. The boy pointed to anatomically . correct drawings to de scribe his ordeal. After examining the situation; prosecutor Costello came to the conclusion that the boy would be a weak witness and cut the deal. But Costello also had the social worker, the cop, the aunt . and the boy's older brother to back up the 4-year-old 's account. Yes, it was a circumstantial case. But with James' violent back- ground. a decent prosecutor takes the shot in court. Vermont is one of two states that practices "restorative justice," Minnesota being the other. That philosophy says for true justice to take place. the criminal as well as the victim must be "healed." Restorative justice states that a "holistic" approach to crime is best for society. Of course, the U.S. code of justice states that the punishment must fit the crime. Allowing a brutal child molester to walk free while getting "treatment" is certainly not punishment enough for traumatizing a 4-year-old perhaps for life. Last year, Vermont Judge Edward Cashman initially sentenced a man who sodomized a six-year-old girl over a four-year period to just 60 days in jail. The en suing national outcry forced Cashman to up the sentence to three years. Still, far too lenient. Vermont's elected officials and media supponed Cashman, and now have once again rallied to suppon Judge Howard. They have also anacked me for reponing this awful situation to you. Shortly after Cashman's abomination last year, the Vermont legislature had a chance to pass Jessica's Law tough mandatory prison terms for child predators. The legislature voted down Jessica's Law. There is no excuse for what is happening in Vermont. Its Senators Patrick Leahy (ironically, the head of the Judiciary Committee), Bernie Sanders, and its Governor, Jim Douglas, have all run awa·x from the situation. Meantime, children in their state continue to be brutalized with relatively small consequences for the predators. America is a great country, but this situation shames us all. Every society is judged by how it protects its weakest citizens. In Vermont, an innocent 4year-old boy and an innocent 6-year-old girl have been violated in unspeakable ways. And not just by their predators. LETTERS TO THE . EDITOR Letters to the editor are welcome. They should be less than 300 words.

Bany Lafayette Jr. David L Powea s Dallas Richard Ansel . Pelosi, White House clash over sending troops to Iraq BY ANNE FLAHERTY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Meres the beif? (Low fat) Recently, a reader named Jim Cornell sent me a postcard with a picture of insects on it, posing an interesting question. (No, the insects were not posing a question . As far as I know.) Jim stated that he, like every other American above the age of 4, is on a low-fat diet, and he noted that we have become basically a non-fat nation. This is true; virtually all edible substances, and many automotive products, are now marketed as being "low-fat" or "fat-free." Americans are obsessed with fat content. DOCTOR: Mrs . Stoatbonker, you will die within hours unless you take this antibiotic. PATIENT: Is it fat-free? DOCTOR: I don't know. PATIENT: I'll just have a Diet Pepsi. So anyway, Jim, afte~ noting that " millions of pounds of formerly fat-rich food is now de-fatted." asks: "What are they doing with all that fat?'' Jim, that is an excellent question, and I intend to answer it just as soon as I have written enough words to make a column. (Don't you wish you had a job like mine? All you have to do is think up a cenain number, of wm:ds! Plus, you can repeal words! And they don't even have to be true!) First, however, we need to consider exactly what "fat" is. Just off the top of my bead, wi~t glancing at a dictionary, I would define fat as "any of various mixtures of solid or semisolid triglycerides found in adipose animal tissue or in the seeds of plants." A "triglyc- Dave Barry eride," as I vaguely recall from my high -~ chool years, is "any of a group of esters, CH2(00CR I)CH(OOCR2) CH2(00CR3), derived from glycerol and three fatty acid radicals." But what does this mean? One thing it means, of course, is that "Three Fatty Acid Radicals" would be an excellent name for a rock band. But it also means that fat is some kind of chemical item that nature puts inside cenain plants and animals to make them taste better. A good rule of thumb is: The more fat something contains, the better it tastes. This is why ·we eat hamburgers, but we do not eat ants. Ants have a very low fat content, so nobody eats them except unfonunate animals such as birds, who, because of a design flaw, cannot use drive-thru windows. Human beings, on the other hand, enjoy hamburgers, because they (the hamburgers) come {rom cows, which are notoriously fat. You will never see a cow voluntarily going anywhere near an Abdominizer. Of course, there have been efforts to make lowfat "hamburgers." In researching this column, I purchased a product called "Harvest Burgers." whkh are "All Vegetable Protein Patties" manufactured by the Green Giant Corp. Upon examining the package, the first thing I noticed was that the Jolly Green Giant has apparently had plastic surgery. He no longer looks like the "Ho! Ho 1 Ho!" guy; he now looks like Paul McCartney on steroids. Check it out. The second thing I noticed is that the key ingredient in Harvest Burgers is "soy." This ingredient is found in many low-fat foods, and I think it's time that the Food and Drug Administration told us just what the hell it is. A plant? A mineral? An animal? Are there enormous soy ranches in Nebraska, with vast herds of soys bleating and suckling their young? As a consumer, I'd like some answers. I don't want to discover years from now that "soy" is an oriental word meaning "compressed ant parts." This is not intended as a criticism of the "Harvest Burger," which is a well-constructed, extremely cylindrical frozen unit of brown foodlike substance. The package states that it contains "83 percent less fat than g·round beef'; I believe this, because it also tastes exactly 83 percent less good than ground beef. Nevenheless I highly recommend it for anybody who needs more "soy" or a backup hockey puck. Oh, sure. there will be people who will claim that soy patties taste "almost as good" as real han1burgers. These are the same people who have convinced them- selves that rice cakes taste "almost as good" as potato chips, when in fact eating rice cakes is like chewing on a foam coffee cup, only less filling. You could fill a container with roofing shingles and put it in the supermarket with a sign that said "ZERO-FAT ROOFING SHINGLES," and these people would buy it and convince themselves it tasted "almost as good" as French toast. Yes, we have become a low-fat society, which brings us back to the question posed by Jim Cornell: What's being done with all the fat? Jim offers this theory: "I suspect that they're dumping iUn some small town in Texas or Mexico." No way, Jim. Our government would never allow a major fat-dumping facility in the same region where we're storing the dead UFO aliens. No, the truth is that the fat is being loaded into giant tanker trucks, transponed l:iy night and pumped into: my thighs. There was no choice: was Marlon Brando already full. But I'm happy to do my part for a leaner America, so don •t bother to thank me. Are you going to finish those fries? Postscript: After I wrote this column, my editor, Tom Shrader, sent me a note saying he thinks he read somewhere that ants do contain fat. I think he's wrong, but since we're bOth professional journaliii!s, neither of us will look it up. I will say this: If ants do contain fat, it's only a matter of time before somebody cornes out with low-fat ants. WASHINGTON- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi contended Friday that President Bush is rushing new troops to Iraq and betting that Congress won't cut off funds once they're in battle. Tbe White House called her assenion '~isonous." In an exchange of harsh rhetoric that underscored the intensity of the political fight, Pelosi, D-Calif., said the war should not be "an obligation of the American people in perpetuity." "The president knows that because the troops are in harm's way, that we won't cut off the resources. That's why he's moving so quicklr, to put them in harm's way, ' Pelosi said on ABC's "Good Morning America." When asked whether she thought the president manipulated the deployments to avoid congressional action, Pelosi said she hoped he did not but thought "he could have told us about it sooner. ... We found out about it as the troops were going in." White House spokeswoman Dana Perino retorted that lawmakers are involved in a "sound bite war" against Bush, counter to Democrats' promises of bipartisanship. "Those particular com- ments were poisonous," Perino said. "I think questioning the president's motivations and suggesting that he, for some political reason, is rushing troops into harm's way, is not appropriate, it is not correct, and it is unfonunate because we do have troops in harm's way." In a letter to Bush, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. D-Nev., said they were eager to work "in a bipartisan fashion on the terrorism issue and in so doing strengthen the relationship between your administration and Congress." Meanwhile. support was building around a resolution that would oppose Bush's plans for more troops to Iraq. Senate Democrats, backed by Republicans Olympia Snowe of Maine and Chuck Ha~el of Nebraska, unveiled legtslation this week that would criticize Bush's decision. "It is not in the national interest of the United States to deepen its military involvement in Iraq, particular! y by escalating the United States military force presence in Iraq," the nonbinding Senate measure states. "When we hold the up-ordown vote - and in the many votes that follow our troops will get everrthing they need," Reid satd TANLEY A IINfJFr•ll Cellll.-rtbe available to )00 3l oo clr.itw oourte;y of HCC,ltl: .. a finll <i nalionally MX>gl1i1ai mmlsmallsbi, arll oak Hill Banks to eo.'3lwle )UII'ooill. ~ ln<n')' :nl pntKu rmak In Ire p<N )\!'&, ather dimes, cparters ani half dollm ha~ lll:realtrl In marlta vahE by 50'K..

"President Bu sh will di scuss his determination to defeat the terrorists who are part of a broader extremist movement that is now doing everything if can to defeat us in Iraq," White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said. "If the extremists prevail in Iraq, the American people will be less safe and our enemies will be emboldened and more lethal ," Perino said. Bush probably will try to link the war to the threat to America since the Sept. II attacks, said Bruce Riedel, a former official at the National Security Council and analyst at the liberal Brookings Institution. "Who can be against terrorism?" Riedel asked. "Fear is a commodity that the administration has sold before, and right now they're not having much success with the public or the Congress with the arguments they've trotted out on the (troop) surge." The costs of the war and the deficit are expected to preclude Bush . from announcing expensive new programs. On the domestic side, the president plaps to highlight Immigration, health care and urge Congress to renew the No Child Left Behind education law. He is expected to call on Congress to preserve tax cuts. balance the budget within five years and work to make the costs of the war more transparent in the federal budget. Bush will propose a tax break to people who buy their own· health insurance and a cap on how much coverage individuals can receive tax free at work, officials say. The proposal would give those who buy their own health care coverage the same tax benefits now enjoyed by those with employer-sponsored plans. Bush also will announce steps next week to take some federal money now going to hospitals and institutions and give it to states for programs to get medical coverage for the more than 46 million people without insurance. As in his previous State of the Union addresses, Bush probably will lament the U.S. reliance on foreign sources of energy and express support for alternative fuels . Auto industry officials expect the president to ask Congress once more for ·the power to change fuel economy standards for passenger cars.

Sheriff Rick Jones has written letters to Gov. Ted Strickland and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, both Democrats who won GOPheld seats on Nov. 7, and asked them to intervene. "It is of !he uunost importance !hat you intervene in !he negotiations to bring this 11monlh-old lockout to a productive conclusion. Our community needs your help and suppon," Jones wrote. "I know it's very stmnge that a local Republican sheriff would ask two of the most powerful Democrats in the state of Ohio to do something, but I am." Jones said Friday that he was frustrated that former Gov. Bob Taft, a Republican who served the maximum two consecutive terms, and former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine, defeated by Brown in November, were not able to end the lockout He said !he toll the strike has taken on the county's residents is gening to him. "You drive by, you see these people still sitting outside (AK's plant). It's pitiful, and it's affecting the whole area," Jones said. "People have been asking for extensions on !heir child suppon payments. Businesses are hurting. "And our office, we're the ones who have to set these people's furniture out on the street when we have to sell their houses out from undernealh them when they can't afford the payments anymore." Jones said he hopes Brown and Strickland will act, especially since both campaigned outstde the plant last year. "These two are both brandnew in the job, been there two weeks, and wouldn' t it be b'feat and a fresh breath of air to get bolh of these sides to make a settlement and get back to work?" he said. Jones has heard from Brown's office and is awaiting a response from Strickland, Jones said. He expects !he governor will get involved. Strickland remai11s concerned about the lockout continues to advocate For a resolution soon, spokesman Keilh Dailey said. Brown spokeswoman Joanna Kuebler said Brown has a long record of "standing wilh workers" and is reviewing !he rnaner. AK Steel makes flat-rolled carbon steel and stainless and electrical steel used in cars and appliances. Its headquaners and largest mill are in Middletown, about 30 miles norlh of Cincinnati. Negotiations are ongoing on a company offer presented Oct. 19 !hat has significantly smaller wage increases and fewer benefits than the one !hat was rejected a day earlier. J!Jnion leaders are now endorsing !he earlier proposal that had been defeated 2-to-1. A union spokesman said he was eager for help from Strickland and Brown, but an AK Steel executive was skeptical. "We welcome Sheriff Jones and anybody that he can get to assist us in getting a contract with AK." said Jim Tyler, spokesman for the International Association of Machinists Local 1943, which represents the locked-out workers. Alan McCoy, spokesman for AK Steel, !he company is eager to end !he lockout, but it should be settled at the negotiating table. Asked if help from Strickland or Brown would be useful, McCoy said, "I'm trying to recall a labor dispute that has been resolved in that fashion. There may be one. I simply can't recall one."

Mike DeWine, defeated by Brown in November, were not able to end the lockout He said !he toll the strike has taken on the county's residents is gening to him. "You drive by, you see these people still sitting outside (AK's plant). It's pitiful, and it's affecting the whole area," Jones said. "People have been asking for extensions on !heir child suppon payments. Businesses are hurting. "And our office, we're the ones who have to set these people's furniture out on the street when we have to sell their houses out from undernealh them when they can't afford the payments anymore." Jones said he hopes Brown and Strickland will act, especially since both campaigned outstde the plant last year. "These two are both brandnew in the job, been there two weeks, and wouldn' t it be b'feat and a fresh breath of air to get bolh of these sides to make a settlement and get back to work?" he said. Jones has heard from Brown's office and is awaiting a response from Strickland, Jones said. He expects !he governor will get involved. Strickland remai11s concerned about the lockout continues to advocate For a resolution soon, spokesman Keilh Dailey said. Brown spokeswoman Joanna Kuebler said Brown has a long record of "standing wilh workers" and is reviewing !he rnaner. AK Steel makes flat-rolled carbon steel and stainless and electrical steel used in cars and appliances. Its headquaners and largest mill are in Middletown, about 30 miles norlh of Cincinnati. Negotiations are ongoing on a company offer presented Oct. 19 !hat has significantly smaller wage increases and fewer benefits than the one !hat was rejected a day earlier. J!Jnion leaders are now endorsing !he earlier proposal that had been defeated 2-to-1. A union spokesman said he was eager for help from Strickland and Brown, but an AK Steel executive was skeptical. "We welcome Sheriff Jones and anybody that he can get to assist us in getting a contract with AK." said Jim Tyler, spokesman for the International Association of Machinists Local 1943, which represents the locked-out workers. Alan McCoy, spokesman for AK Steel, !he company is eager to end !he lockout, but it should be settled at the negotiating table. Asked if help from Strickland or Brown would be useful, McCoy said, "I'm trying to recall a labor dispute that has been resolved in that fashion. There may be one. I simply can't recall one." Republicans, three Democrats and one inde. pendent are not required to be trained in constitutional law but are asked to determine the legality of constitutionally protected J?Oiitical speech, the transition team report said.

Coach James Toth's Bend Area cage team opened a four game road swing by capturing its fourth consecutive victory on the hardwood season to improve to 9-3 on the year. The White Falcons utilized its depth along the bench to pull out the win after getting into some early foul trouble.

Harri; on, the Bend Area teams scoring leader, tallied a game high 19 points on the evening with Smith following close behind with 18 tallies . Clark added 12 points while Roush came up with 10 in the Falcon win. "We experienced a pretty ,ood first quarter to jump m front by I 0, but some early foul trouble prevented us from putting the game away in the first balf," WHS coach James 'foth said following the triamph. "We were able to score some early points off our transition game, but the foul situation robbed -~orne of our intensity in ~e second period." · The diminished defen~ive capabilities due to the foul situation enabled the liulldogs to capitalize on 'he Falcons shrinking intensity level during second quarter action . Van matched the Bend Area team basket for basket in the period but failed to close the gap as Wahama maintained its 10 point advantage at the break. "We made a couple of defensive adjustments at the half and that proved to be very beneficial as the second half went on," Toth said. "We began to pick up our level of play once again and as a result we began to slowly put the game away." Wahama bas suffered continuously throughout the season in salting games BY LARRY CRUM LCRUM@MYOAILYREGISTER.COM CLENDENIN, W.Va. Third quarters just haven't been very nice to Point Pleasant lately. The Big Blacks (1 -11) were at the receiving end of an 18-0 run Tuesday night in a loss to Wahama and suffered a similar setback Friday night as Herbert Hoover (9-1) broke open a five point game at the half with a 278 advantage in the third to claim a 77-62 victory, Led by Ben Shannon, who had a game high 33 points including seven triples, the Huskies used that big third quarter run to tum a 39-35 halftime lead into a 66-43 lead heading into the final frame. Turnovers and a lack of concentration which led to quick shots were at the root of problem for the Big Blacks and from there the team simply could not regroup. Point Pleasant still did not quit, however, outscoring Hoover 19-11 in the final eight minutes, but . - - - - - , still could not make up for the collapse in the previous quarter. Progress was shown by Point, with four players Slone scoring . in double digits and a strong first half which kept Herbert Hoover at bay.

Blue Devil junior high wrestlers dominate at Fairland Invitational Bv MIKE Page Bs OUTDOORS Wild pigs are always in season Wild boars, feral pigs, razorbacks or hawgs. whatever you call them, are fair game for hunters in southeastern Ohio. in fact, the Ohio Division of Wildlife made a special point of encouraging deer hunters to kill these non-native animals prior 10 the 2006 deer gun season . Boars have been sighted or harvested in Vinton and Gallia cou nties, and in other hill coumies in the Buckeye State, but their presence isn ' t anything that should make a humer happy. Biologi sts for the Ohio Division of Wildlife labeled feral pigs as "eating machines" and say they damage agricultural crops, degrade wildlife habitat and consume ground-nesting bird eggs, reptiles, amphibians, or just about anything else they come across. They also carry diseases that can infect domestic livestock, wildlife. and even people . Feral pigs have no natural predators and can reproduce year-round with anywhere from one to seven piglets per litter; so populations can quickly become established and rapidly expand from the release or escape of just one pregnant female. In Ohio, wild boars brought into the state for hunting have escaped from confinement and unwanted animals may In the Open Jim Freeman have been intentionally released into the wild. So this should give Ohio hunters a bit of incentive to bag these wild pigs, but don't compare these descendants of domesticated swine to their barnyard brethren; feral pigs have a keen sense of smell and finely honed survival instincts, .so hunting them can present a challenge. Wild boars feed most heavily at dawn and dusk , spending their days resting in dense vegetation or wallowing in mud holes. Bo(lfs can be legally harvested by almost any huming implement, including unplugged shotguns with buckshot, except for trapping and some deer hunting seasons listed below; there are no closed seasons or bag limits, and hunting with dogs is permitted. During the deer gun and the statewide muzzleloader seasons, a valid Ohio deer permit is also required and hunters can only use the firearms legal for the season . For more information, consult the current Ohio Hunting and Trapping Re gulalions. Hunters interested in pursuing free-ranging wild boars should stan by talking 10 local folks (agric ultural supply stores, check stations. local diners. and area farmers) and then do some scouting in the county you plan to hunt. In addition to Gall ia and Vinton counties, wild boars have .been repon ed in Hocking, Washington, Lawrence and Scioto counties among others. Of course you,ll need the landowner's permission before hunting' on private propeny. •Successful hunters don't need to check-in their wild pigs, but they are encouraged to submit digital photographs to the Division of Wildlife's online photo gallery. Feral pig sightings can also be reported by e' mail through the Division of Wildlife's online Contact Form. Jim Freeman is wildlife speciali.rt for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

White Falcons coast to 'I bird quarter painful for victory over Van Bulldogs Point Pleasant in latest loss Big Blacks outscored 18-0 during Hoover's pivotal third quarter run BY GARY CLARK SPORTS CORRESPONDENT VAN, W.Va . - After getting double figure scoring from four slarters the Wahama White Falcons jumped out to a 20- 10 first period and never looked back in coasting to a 70-44 basketball win over the Van Bulldogs Friday evening. Coach James Toth's Bend Area cage team opened a four game road swing by capturing its fourth consecutive victory on the hardwood season to improve to 9-3 on the year. The White Falcons utilized its depth along the bench to pull out the win after getting into some early foul trouble. A trio of juniors in guard Casey Harrison, forward Jordan Smith and forward Gabe Roush, along with senior Brenton Clark paced a balanced Wahama offensive attack . Harri; on, the Bend Area teams scoring leader, tallied a game high 19 points on the evening with Smith following close behind with 18 tallies . Clark added 12 points while Roush came up with 10 in the Falcon win. "We experienced a pretty ,ood first quarter to jump m front by I 0, but some early foul trouble prevented us from putting the game away in the first balf," WHS coach James 'foth said following the triamph. "We were able to score some early points off our transition game, but the foul situation robbed -~orne of our intensity in ~e second period." · The diminished defen~ive capabilities due to the foul situation enabled the liulldogs to capitalize on 'he Falcons shrinking intensity level during second quarter action . Van matched the Bend Area team basket for basket in the period but failed to close the gap as Wahama maintained its 10 point advantage at the break. "We made a couple of defensive adjustments at the half and that proved to be very beneficial as the second half went on," Toth said. "We began to pick up our level of play once again and as a result we began to slowly put the game away." Wahama bas suffered continuously throughout the season in salting games BY LARRY CRUM LCRUM@MYOAILYREGISTER.COM CLENDENIN, W.Va. Third quarters just haven't been very nice to Point Pleasant lately. The Big Blacks (1 -11) were at the receiving end of an 18-0 run Tuesday night in a loss to Wahama and suffered a similar setback Friday night as Herbert Hoover (9-1) broke open a five point game at the half with a 278 advantage in the third to claim a 77-62 victory, Led by Ben Shannon, who had a game high 33 points including seven triples, the Huskies used that big third quarter run to tum a 39-35 halftime lead into a 66-43 lead heading into the final frame. Turnovers and a lack of concentration which led to quick shots were at the root of problem for the Big Blacks and from there the team simply could not regroup. Point Pleasant still did not quit, however, outscoring Hoover 19-11 in the final eight minutes, but . - - - - - , still could not make up for the collapse in the previous quarter. Progress was shown by Point, with four players Slone scoring . in double digits and a strong first half which kept Herbert Hoover at bay. The Huskies scored 23 points in the first quarter, but the Big Blacks kept right up ·with I 8 of their own and outscored the home team by one to sit within five at the break. Brandon Arthur was the ne~t highest scorer for the Huskies with nine points, followed by Torin Samples and Josh Striker with eight points each. James White with seven points, Travis Cunningham with six, Kyler Shamblin with five and Jordan Fisher with one · point. Steven Perry and Will Slone paced the big blacks with 14 points apiece, while Slone added a team high seven rebounds . Trasawn Bonecutter had 13 points and five assists, Tyson Jones had 10 points and five boards, Jay Elli~ had seven points and five rebounds and B.J. Lloyd and Jeremy Legg had two points each. Point Pleasant also struggled from the foul line, shooting just 57 percent ( 12-of-21) and were also dominated on the glass, with Herben Hoover holding a 32-24 advantage. The Huskies also won the reserve game 54-30 with Shamblin leading Hoover with 22 points and Chris Campbell leading Point Pleasant with I 0 points.

Blue Devil junior high wrestlers dominate at Fairland Invitational Bv MIKE Page Bs OUTDOORS Wild pigs are always in season Wild boars, feral pigs, razorbacks or hawgs. whatever you call them, are fair game for hunters in southeastern Ohio. in fact, the Ohio Division of Wildlife made a special point of encouraging deer hunters to kill these non-native animals prior 10 the 2006 deer gun season . Boars have been sighted or harvested in Vinton and Gallia cou nties, and in other hill coumies in the Buckeye State, but their presence isn ' t anything that should make a humer happy. Biologi sts for the Ohio Division of Wildlife labeled feral pigs as "eating machines" and say they damage agricultural crops, degrade wildlife habitat and consume ground-nesting bird eggs, reptiles, amphibians, or just about anything else they come across. They also carry diseases that can infect domestic livestock, wildlife. and even people . Feral pigs have no natural predators and can reproduce year-round with anywhere from one to seven piglets per litter; so populations can quickly become established and rapidly expand from the release or escape of just one pregnant female. In Ohio, wild boars brought into the state for hunting have escaped from confinement and unwanted animals may In the Open Jim Freeman have been intentionally released into the wild. So this should give Ohio hunters a bit of incentive to bag these wild pigs, but don't compare these descendants of domesticated swine to their barnyard brethren; feral pigs have a keen sense of smell and finely honed survival instincts, .so hunting them can present a challenge. Wild boars feed most heavily at dawn and dusk , spending their days resting in dense vegetation or wallowing in mud holes. Bo(lfs can be legally harvested by almost any huming implement, including unplugged shotguns with buckshot, except for trapping and some deer hunting seasons listed below; there are no closed seasons or bag limits, and hunting with dogs is permitted. During the deer gun and the statewide muzzleloader seasons, a valid Ohio deer permit is also required and hunters can only use the firearms legal for the season . For more information, consult the current Ohio Hunting and Trapping Re gulalions. Hunters interested in pursuing free-ranging wild boars should stan by talking 10 local folks (agric ultural supply stores, check stations. local diners. and area farmers) and then do some scouting in the county you plan to hunt. In addition to Gall ia and Vinton counties, wild boars have .been repon ed in Hocking, Washington, Lawrence and Scioto counties among others. Of course you,ll need the landowner's permission before hunting' on private propeny. •Successful hunters don't need to check-in their wild pigs, but they are encouraged to submit digital photographs to the Division of Wildlife's online photo gallery. Feral pig sightings can also be reported by e' mail through the Division of Wildlife's online Contact Form. Jim Freeman is wildlife speciali.rt for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

The only problem is Brian Urlacher and his fellow Bears haven't been all that mean, stingy or overpo'wering lately. To gel the franchise to ils first Super Bowl in 21 years. Urlacher and his leammates will need to slow the league's top-ranked offense that New Orleans brings to Sunday's NFC championship game. There's no questiOn the AllPro middle linebacker and successor 10 Dick Butkus and Mike Singlelary as the monster in the middle can handle the task - al least not in his mind or 1he minds of the other Bears. "This is new waters for us as a team," the seven-year veteran and 2005 Defensive Player of the Year said. "We finally jlOI over that hump last week 10 winning our firstround playoff game. That was exciting, but this is a bigger challenge for us now. "The No. I thing that we have to do is concentrate and get to work every week, and coach Smith has done a good job with that with us. in gettinll us back in to work and domg the same routine that we've been doing all season long. It's still a game ·on Sunday. It is a big game, but we have to stay in our fl)lltine and stay grounded." And will they? "What's our record, 14-3 ri~t now? Look at that," he satd, somewhat indignantly. 'That is all that I have to say. There have been questions all year long about every position on our team: quanerbac\(, defense, defensive line, safeties. All we do is go out there and play and try to win. That is all we can do." While Urlacher is the marquee guy on Chicago's defense, the unit has severely missed two other important performers, tackle Tommie Harris and strong safety Mike Brown. Since Harris went out, Chicago )las yielded 25.8 points a game. Before that, it allowed . 150 points in 12 games, a 12.5 avera~e. Now come the Sa.nts, with a multidimensional offense led by All-Pro quarterback Drew Brees; 1,000-yard rusher Deuce McAllister coming DAVE GOLDBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS Chicago has been damaged by s8ason·ending injuries to two of its tour best defenders.

Of course, the Bears look inside their hucklle and see some big-time playmakers, too. Particularly No. 54 in the micklle. "We have some pretty good players on the defensive side of the balL We have some guys that can run to the ball." aefensive end Adewale Ogunleye said. "We've got Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs, All-Pro linebackers, guys who can run with any of their ·running backs ·or t1ght ends. "I am really excited about the matchup they pose for us, but we are not scared. We know that we will be able to match up well with them because we have some athletic guys on our side of the ball, too." None more than Urlacher, a tormer satety at New Mexico whose athleticism is unequaled on the Bears, if not in the entire league. And Urlacher must be a force Sunday, whether it's against the powerful rushes of McAllister or the daning runs of Bush. Whether it's dropping back in coverage against New Orleans' tall and talented wideouts, or blitzing Brees. "Obviously the Bears' defense in general is a great defense," Bush said. "They've been playing great football all year. They're almost all like an offense because they score points. They put points on the board and they get turnovers for their offense, which allows the offense to score touchdowns, so really you've got to be fundamentally sound. Obvious!~ they do have key players hke Brian Urlacher and Briggs, and their defensive end, Alex Brown, and those guys." For the key guy, Urlacher, thinking beyond the game plan and defensive signals and the myriad tasks at hand is fruitless. Sure, a Super Bowl berth is at stake. But once the 11ame begins Sunday, he clam1s Miami will be a distant shore far from his mind. "I'm thinking about this game _and, person.~lly, I want to wm, No. I, he sa1d. "Whatever happens with me, if I can help our team win. that's a plus. I want to win this game and that is what I am looking at, AfteiWards, maybe if we get to where we wan1 to go, we can talk about all that good stuff::. INDIANAPOLIS - The word Peyton Manning constantly hears is "validate." He even uses it himself sometimes - as in having to "validate" his otherwise brilliant career by winning a Super Bow I. So here he was Friday, on the threshold of his second AFC title game, once more answering questions about his playoff failures. "What's happened in the past is what happened in the past, and things are what they are," he said as the Indianapolis Colts and the New Eng land Patriots went through final preparations for Sunday's AFC championship game . "People talk about your legacy. That really is a deep word to me. This week I've just focused on the fact that we're playing New England in a championship game . The Patriots' defense gives you more to concentrate on than your own place in history. so that's what I'm dealing with." This is the third time in the past four seasons that the Colts and Patriots are meeting in the playoffs and New England has won the first two, both in Fox borough. The first was in the 2003 conference title game, a 24-14 loss in which Manning threw four interceptions. The second was 20-3 in a second-round game the next year when the Patriots' defense shut .down the Colts' offense. New England won the Super Bowl both seasons. The Colts have gotten over that !lump a bit with regular-season victories, both on the road. They beat the Patriots 40-21 in 2005 and 27-20 on Nov. 5, putting up enough points to dispel the idea that Manning can't do well against Bill Belichick 's defenses. His teammates also pooh-pooh the idea that their two-time MVP quarterback "can 't win the big game." · The -··- Palriols ha¥e won lour (111he 1aat six regular season games in which both aiMing OBs played.

"Who decides what's a big game?" His New England counterpart said the same. The knocks- ·on Manning stem in part from the comparison to Brady. The New England quar· terback is 12-1 in the playoffs and has won three titles with the Patriots, twice driving them into range for the winning field goal in the final seconds. That has won him two Super Bowl MVP awards. Manning has two regular-season MVP trophies and a host of NFL records, including 49 touchdown passes in 2004. But his postseason wonlost mark is just 5-6 . and this year he has thrown just one touchdown pass with five interceptions in wins over Kansas City and Baltimore. He noted after the 15-6 win over the Ravens last week that he would take five more picks in the next two games 1fthe Colts won them because that would mean they'd have a Super Bowl victory. That's where the world "validate" .comes in again. Manning's coach, Tony Dungy, has a regular-season winning percentage of .644 and is still trying tO. get to his first Super Bowl. He has coached teams to championship games in both conferences and has a Super Bowl ring as a player with the 1978 Pittsburgll Steelers. He noted during the week that like it or no1; quarterbacks are defined by titles, noting that Hall of Famers Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana are singled out for their Super Bowl wins and that Dan Fouts and Daa Marino, also Hall of Famers, are there despite not winning a ring. Manning is 30 and has time to make it into the former category rather than the latter. But he also is aware that nothing is guaranteed in an era of free agency and the salary ct~p, noting that teams change; quickly - there are just 18 Colts left from the team that lost the AFC title gam~ three years ago. That's why he thinks in the present. The next test comes Sunday evening . Could validation be on the hori· zon? Nuggets hold on to beat Cleveland DENVER (AP) - Marcus Camby tigured his night was over. Big lead, fourth quaner, road game in Houston the next night. Camby was all set to kick back and' watch the final quarter of the Denver Nuggets' 110-99 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. But when Cleveland sliced Denver's 25-point lead to 13 with 7:23 remaining in the ~arne, Camby was sent back m. He scored tour of his season-high 26 points in the final quaner and grabbed six of his 17 rebourm. "It's always in the backs of our minds about blowing leads," Camby said. "The guys stepped up down the stretch." Denver needed to the way LeBron James was playing. James finished with his ftrst triple-double of the season 30 points. 10 assists and 10 rebowtds - and I Oth of his career. "We contained him," said Allen Iverson, who finished with 25 points arid nine assists. 'That's all you can do with players like that. You · can't play this game scared." 1lte Cavaliers cut Denver's cushion to I03-98 on Daroon Jones' 3-pointer with 3: 151eft in the game. But Denver closed the game out with a 7I run. The struggling Cavaliers have now lost four of their last ftve and dropped into a tie with ftrst-place Washington for the best record in the Eastern Conference. "We've just got to regroup," James said. The Cavaliers received a scare when Denver's J.R. Smith fell on James· right ankle when both were scrambling for a loose ball late in the fourth quaner. Ja.nes sat out all of 8 seconds before checking back in: "It's been better," James said of the attkle. Carmelo Anthony said earlier in the week this was a painful game to miss. He was looking forward to going up against his good friend James. The two will always be linked as James went ftrst overall in the 2003 NBA draft and Anthony was picked third. Anthony said he'd watch from his living room a.S he served his second-to-last game for the suspension he re<.-eived for his role in a fight with the New York Knicks. Anthony's 15-game suspension will be done after he sits out the game Saturday night He 'II be back Monday night as Denver hosts Memphis. each year from tobacco use. • 30 percent of all cancer deaths and 87 percent of all GALLIPOLIS - Holzer lung cancer deaths are relatConsolidated Health ed to tobacco use.

The Colts have gotten over that !lump a bit with regular-season victories, both on the road. They beat the Patriots 40-21 in 2005 and 27-20 on Nov. 5, putting up enough points to dispel the idea that Manning can't do well against Bill Belichick 's defenses.

"Who decides what's a big game?" His New England counterpart said the same. The knocks- ·on Manning stem in part from the comparison to Brady. The New England quar· terback is 12-1 in the playoffs and has won three titles with the Patriots, twice driving them into range for the winning field goal in the final seconds. That has won him two Super Bowl MVP awards. Manning has two regular-season MVP trophies and a host of NFL records, including 49 touchdown passes in 2004. But his postseason wonlost mark is just 5-6 . and this year he has thrown just one touchdown pass with five interceptions in wins over Kansas City and Baltimore. He noted after the 15-6 win over the Ravens last week that he would take five more picks in the next two games 1fthe Colts won them because that would mean they'd have a Super Bowl victory. That's where the world "validate" .comes in again. Manning's coach, Tony Dungy, has a regular-season winning percentage of .644 and is still trying tO. get to his first Super Bowl. He has coached teams to championship games in both conferences and has a Super Bowl ring as a player with the 1978 Pittsburgll Steelers. He noted during the week that like it or no1; quarterbacks are defined by titles, noting that Hall of Famers Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana are singled out for their Super Bowl wins and that Dan Fouts and Daa Marino, also Hall of Famers, are there despite not winning a ring. Manning is 30 and has time to make it into the former category rather than the latter. But he also is aware that nothing is guaranteed in an era of free agency and the salary ct~p, noting that teams change; quickly - there are just 18 Colts left from the team that lost the AFC title gam~ three years ago. That's why he thinks in the present. The next test comes Sunday evening . Could validation be on the hori· zon? Nuggets hold on to beat Cleveland DENVER (AP) - Marcus Camby tigured his night was over. Big lead, fourth quaner, road game in Houston the next night. Camby was all set to kick back and' watch the final quarter of the Denver Nuggets' 110-99 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. But when Cleveland sliced Denver's 25-point lead to 13 with 7:23 remaining in the ~arne, Camby was sent back m. He scored tour of his season-high 26 points in the final quaner and grabbed six of his 17 rebourm. "It's always in the backs of our minds about blowing leads," Camby said. "The guys stepped up down the stretch." Denver needed to the way LeBron James was playing. James finished with his ftrst triple-double of the season 30 points. 10 assists and 10 rebowtds - and I Oth of his career. "We contained him," said Allen Iverson, who finished with 25 points arid nine assists. 'That's all you can do with players like that. You · can't play this game scared." 1lte Cavaliers cut Denver's cushion to I03-98 on Daroon Jones' 3-pointer with 3: 151eft in the game. But Denver closed the game out with a 7I run. The struggling Cavaliers have now lost four of their last ftve and dropped into a tie with ftrst-place Washington for the best record in the Eastern Conference. "We've just got to regroup," James said. The Cavaliers received a scare when Denver's J.R. Smith fell on James· right ankle when both were scrambling for a loose ball late in the fourth quaner. Ja.nes sat out all of 8 seconds before checking back in: "It's been better," James said of the attkle. Carmelo Anthony said earlier in the week this was a painful game to miss. He was looking forward to going up against his good friend James. The two will always be linked as James went ftrst overall in the 2003 NBA draft and Anthony was picked third. Anthony said he'd watch from his living room a.S he served his second-to-last game for the suspension he re<.-eived for his role in a fight with the New York Knicks.

Without it. you'll likely lose about one pound of lean body tissue - muscle for each three pounds of body fat lost when dieting. The thing is, muscle burns more calories than fat. So when you lose muscle, you lose some of your body's natural ability to burn calories. And if you begin to gain weight after a period of weight loss (that nasty yoyo syndrome), the weight you gain will likely be 100 percent fat. That, in turn. will decrease your body ,s muscle ratio even more making it even easier to pile on the pounds and more difficult to lose them. Weight training while dieting helps preserve your lean mass (muscle) and helps stimulate your metabolism, which should assist in losing weight. But if you're not accustomed to working with weights, start slowly and find a program you like. Whether that Becky NesbiH walk around the neighborhood with a friend or an aerobics video that gets your hean pumping in the privacy of your own living room - you'll be more likely to keep up with the program. Work yourself up to at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity on most days. and then to 60 minutes daily. If you can't find that big of a chunk of time to devote to exercise, break it up into 30, 20-, or even 10-minute segments. A longer period of sustained exercise is best for heart health, but any aerobic exercise will be beneticial for weight loss. Besides burning fat, aerobic exercise helps your heart, reduces risk of diabetes, and boosts bone den·•ity and mental health. Set a goal to get 30-60 minutes nearly every day.

But strength trainil\8 isn' t the sole exercise you need. Aerobic exercises - such as brisk walking, jogginjl. swimming. biking. aerobtc dancing - are those that use the body's large muscle groups in continuous, rhythmic movements and require you to expend energy.

As Gerald ··Gig" Powell looked over brochures and books on display at the Point Pleasant River Museum on a visit there, his attention was drawn to a book about the Majestic Showboat. All the way home from there, Gig reminisced with his wife about a time in the mid' 50s when The Big Bend Minstrel Association perfonned in Point Plea~ant on the stage of that showboat. He was one of several end men in vivid costuming making up the minstrel circle. I was one of the people in the audience - there w1th Bob, my beau at the time, who directed the show.

Without it. you'll likely lose about one pound of lean body tissue - muscle for each three pounds of body fat lost when dieting. The thing is, muscle burns more calories than fat. So when you lose muscle, you lose some of your body's natural ability to burn calories. And if you begin to gain weight after a period of weight loss (that nasty yoyo syndrome), the weight you gain will likely be 100 percent fat. That, in turn. will decrease your body ,s muscle ratio even more making it even easier to pile on the pounds and more difficult to lose them. Weight training while dieting helps preserve your lean mass (muscle) and helps stimulate your metabolism, which should assist in losing weight. But if you're not accustomed to working with weights, start slowly and find a program you like. Whether that Becky NesbiH walk around the neighborhood with a friend or an aerobics video that gets your hean pumping in the privacy of your own living room - you'll be more likely to keep up with the program. Work yourself up to at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity on most days. and then to 60 minutes daily. If you can't find that big of a chunk of time to devote to exercise, break it up into 30, 20-, or even 10-minute segments. A longer period of sustained exercise is best for heart health, but any aerobic exercise will be beneticial for weight loss. Besides burning fat, aerobic exercise helps your heart, reduces risk of diabetes, and boosts bone den·•ity and mental health. Set a goal to get 30-60 minutes nearly every day.

But strength trainil\8 isn' t the sole exercise you need. Aerobic exercises - such as brisk walking, jogginjl. swimming. biking. aerobtc dancing - are those that use the body's large muscle groups in continuous, rhythmic movements and require you to expend energy.

Lee Smith wrote one of my favorite novels, Fair and Tender Ladies. Her lll06t recent work, On Agate Hill, tells the story of Molly Petree. an orpi1an living on her uncle's nmdown plantation. Her lite is cluonicled through diary entries, poom.o;, coon record~ and lettmo found by a grdduate student whose relatives have pun;:hased the old plantation house and plan to convert it into a bed and breakfast The diary begins on Molly's 13th birthday in 1812 in North Carolina, on Agate Hill, where she hes among relatives, former slaves and a tenant family. It is a hard life. and Molly witnesses the lxxly of a dead slave han!ling from a tree on her way to VIsit maiden aunts. Molly has benefactor, a friend of her late father. who sends her to Gatewood Academy schoolteacher. Here she meets a sweet-talking guilllf picker;- Jacky, and m!lfries him, after jilting the richest young man in town, who could have given her a serene, safe life. Tragedy follows, in that Molly and Jacky's seven chi!dren do not survive. He has a second family down in another "holler," and Molly scrapes by with money from her benefactor, one Simon Black. She becomes a beloved storekeeper and pillar of the tittle mountain community. Eventually, after Jacky's death, MoUy returns to Agate Hill to care for Simon Black, who is dying. This is another novel where time and plaoe are imponant to the plot. Maybe it also teaches one to play the hand they are dealt, or that in ev.ecy life, there are choices which determine the direction . of our h'V¢.8. o• Our book club read Nancy Beverly Gettlea rures in the Ariwna Territories in the 19th century. Saruh's Quilt continues her story, so we chose to read and discuss that book 1oo. The meek may inherit the e!lfth, but fiction is seldom wrinen about them! Sarah Prine is a cross between Scarlett O'Hara and Calamity Jane. a strong. gun-totin'. attractive widow of 43, with a grown daughter and two son.~. She is sbUggling to maintain her ranch following a threeyear drought. Her well has gone dry, so she hires a scraggly old man who "witches" water with a foriced stick. She encounters a prairie f1re, a stampede and a tornado during the six-month period of the diary. Sarah has a suitor in a wealthy neighbor, who promises sa-'llrity in e~change for her land. . One pilllicularly interesting section of the book deals wilh her journey to San Francisco, after the disastrous earthquake and fire, to rescue her brother and his family who are living in squalid tents. The description of the horrible aftermath of that disao;ter may remind you somewhat of Katrina, where thousands sit dazed and confused, without homes or suste- nance. Again, time and place play a prominent role in this story. Arizona was a wild and untamed frontier then. Funny to think about it in relation to my own ancestors' time, my mother having been botn in 1912.

Lee Smith wrote one of my favorite novels, Fair and Tender Ladies. Her lll06t recent work, On Agate Hill, tells the story of Molly Petree. an orpi1an living on her uncle's nmdown plantation. Her lite is cluonicled through diary entries, poom.o;, coon record~ and lettmo found by a grdduate student whose relatives have pun;:hased the old plantation house and plan to convert it into a bed and breakfast The diary begins on Molly's 13th birthday in 1812 in North Carolina, on Agate Hill, where she hes among relatives, former slaves and a tenant family. It is a hard life. and Molly witnesses the lxxly of a dead slave han!ling from a tree on her way to VIsit maiden aunts. Molly has benefactor, a friend of her late father. who sends her to Gatewood Academy schoolteacher. Here she meets a sweet-talking guilllf picker;- Jacky, and m!lfries him, after jilting the richest young man in town, who could have given her a serene, safe life. Tragedy follows, in that Molly and Jacky's seven chi!dren do not survive. He has a second family down in another "holler," and Molly scrapes by with money from her benefactor, one Simon Black. She becomes a beloved storekeeper and pillar of the tittle mountain community. Eventually, after Jacky's death, MoUy returns to Agate Hill to care for Simon Black, who is dying. This is another novel where time and plaoe are imponant to the plot. Maybe it also teaches one to play the hand they are dealt, or that in ev.ecy life, there are choices which determine the direction . of our h'V¢.8. o• Our book club read Nancy Beverly Gettlea rures in the Ariwna Territories in the 19th century. Saruh's Quilt continues her story, so we chose to read and discuss that book 1oo. The meek may inherit the e!lfth, but fiction is seldom wrinen about them! Sarah Prine is a cross between Scarlett O'Hara and Calamity Jane. a strong. gun-totin'. attractive widow of 43, with a grown daughter and two son.~. She is sbUggling to maintain her ranch following a threeyear drought. Her well has gone dry, so she hires a scraggly old man who "witches" water with a foriced stick. She encounters a prairie f1re, a stampede and a tornado during the six-month period of the diary. Sarah has a suitor in a wealthy neighbor, who promises sa-'llrity in e~change for her land. . One pilllicularly interesting section of the book deals wilh her journey to San Francisco, after the disastrous earthquake and fire, to rescue her brother and his family who are living in squalid tents. The description of the horrible aftermath of that disao;ter may remind you somewhat of Katrina, where thousands sit dazed and confused, without homes or suste- nance. Again, time and place play a prominent role in this story. Arizona was a wild and untamed frontier then. Funny to think about it in relation to my own ancestors' time, my mother having been botn in 1912.

But no matter how many tens of millions of homes the game is beamed into, Miami is like a runway model wearing an oversized football jersey that hangs to her knees. This city can't hide its seductive. playful, sleepless nature behind a facade of pigskin and turf. Those that descend here for the big game wi II be greeted by the sandy coastline and pulsating clubs that have long been synonymous with this tropical playground, but also a lively arts scene, distinct neighborhoods and surprismgly serene escapes. As game day nears. the opportunities for a visitor are as diverse as this city that is both sleek and gritty. authentic and artificial, boisterous and serene.

How deep do you plant your seed'' Small seed-like orchard grass and alfalfa. should not he planted deepe~ than one quaner mch. Deeper planting depths may cause poor establishment as seed rots before it germinates. If using a no-till drill, have you killed off existing cover? Are there ~lions of perennial weeds growing in the field? Perennial weeds need to be under control before you reseed. It may take a season or two to control Canadian thistle and Johnson grass. OSU's Weed Control Guide, Bulletin 789, can give specifics as to how best to control particular weeds in the pasture. Seeding too late in to the spring may also cause a poor pasture stand. Johnson stated, "We need to allow these small plants to get established so that they can take the sbess of grazing. We do not want to go out and gra2e an eight inch stand down to one to two inches and not allow for plant recovery. "I would suggest that we gra2e only 50 percent of the forage that might be out there the first time, to funher allow the plant to become established." Spring plantings will be here before you know it. If you haven't taken soil samples, take them now to improve soil pH and discover how many nutrients may be limiting your pa'rures' yields.

Ohio State University Extension Meat Specialist Henry Zerny will be speaking on several aspect' of the animal carcasses.

This program is at no cost and is open to the public. · - How does you~ pasture management stack up? Keith Johnson. Purdue University Extension forage specialist, suggests farmers consider the following six points to establish a quality pasture. Select a proper site and soil type to match the forage variety. Detennine how the seed will be sown? How will you control weeds in the pasture'' What is the tirst use of the pas- . rure·> Poorly drdined, clay soil will not suppon the root system of alfalfa plants. A mmbination of orchard gm" ;md clover may be a better selection. In the Ohio Agronomy Guide, Bulletin 472. pasture seeding guides a>Sist farmers in selecting gmss and legumes to match local conditions. How deep do you plant your seed'' Small seed-like orchard grass and alfalfa. should not he planted deepe~ than one quaner mch. Deeper planting depths may cause poor establishment as seed rots before it germinates. If using a no-till drill, have you killed off existing cover? Are there ~lions of perennial weeds growing in the field? Perennial weeds need to be under control before you reseed. It may take a season or two to control Canadian thistle and Johnson grass. OSU's Weed Control Guide, Bulletin 789, can give specifics as to how best to control particular weeds in the pasture. Seeding too late in to the spring may also cause a poor pasture stand. Johnson stated, "We need to allow these small plants to get established so that they can take the sbess of grazing. We do not want to go out and gra2e an eight inch stand down to one to two inches and not allow for plant recovery. "I would suggest that we gra2e only 50 percent of the forage that might be out there the first time, to funher allow the plant to become established." Spring plantings will be here before you know it. If you haven't taken soil samples, take them now to improve soil pH and discover how many nutrients may be limiting your pa'rures' yields.

The awards were given out during the congress held in mid-January in Columbus. "Each year we like to recognize farmers and students who give their all in their areas of expertise," said Jeft' Macqueen, president of the Ohio Fruit Growers Society (OFGS) and an apple producer from Holland (Lucas County). Two brothers, Louis "Bud" Rockwell and Bob Rockwell of Barnesville (Belmont County) were honored with the OFGS Distinguished Service Award for providing outstanding leadership and service to Ohio's fruit industry. Bud earned a doctorate in entomology from Cornell University in 1963, where he lived in the greenhouse to oversee insects for study. He returned to farming in 1976 after working for Chemagro (Bayer). He is aformerOFGS president and lifelong Grdllge and Farm Bureau member. Bob is a graduate of Ohio State University and has a unique background that includes building pigpens in Italy. He is a member of the Belmont Soil and Water BY LEE REICH FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Look outside. Does your garden look neglected, desolate or melancholy? It need not, even if it's too cold for plants to grow, or snow blankets the ground. A quick and easy first step to creating a pleasant winter S~:ene outdoors is to tidy up. Put away buckets and gardening tools, straighten akimbo posts. and cut back old flower stalks. . Formal gardens need more tidying than informal gardens, but even informal gardens benefit from some tidying up. After all, an abandoned lot is -no wildflower meadow. Tidiness lends some order to the scene, but emphasizing that order makes thm~s prettier. Define and organ1ze outdoor space with masses and lines created by plants, fences, walls - even benches and statuary. For instance, an arbor looks pretty enough s{lrin~ through fall, if you nouce u among climbing plants. But once winter comes, the arbor stands out, defining space on either side. Come snow, milky white dots cap each post and white strokes define horizontal elements, dressing the arbor up in much the same way as vines dressed it up in summer. For )onl!er-~erm planning, keep lit llllnd other ways to mate~ ~our garden will look ·pleasmg year-round: Rows of plants also define s~. Use a row of trees, even if they are small. Or a double row of trees that drnws you along as if through a tunnel. Or hedges: Even deciduous hedges make a winter statement if they are twi!lllY like forsythia or privet. Low hedges of evergreen dwarf boxwood can create a tapestry at ground level. A single tree trunk can define an area by acting as a visual anchor, a centerpiece. PageD~ Conservation DistriCt (SWCD) board of superv~ sors, Farm Bureau and was OFGS president in 2000. Bob has also served as president of the Ohio Federation Soil an(l Water Conservation disuicts .. The Ohio Vegetable ru\9 Potato Growers AssociatiOn (OVPGA) named Ryaii Edwards and Anna Leis scholarship winners because of their desire to enter the field of vegetable production. Edwards, of Union City,is a senior at Ohio State University majoring in crop science. He just fmished an internship wtth Pioneer HiBred working on experimental . seed plots .across .the Indiana and Michigan reg10n. Leis, of Germantown, is a senior at Ohio State majoring in landscape horticulture and agricultural education. She is consistently on the dean's list and has earned numerous leadership awards as a student. DAMA recognized Mapleside Farms (http://www.mapleside.coml) in Brunswick (Medina County) for longevity and success in selling direct to consumers - individuals, families, restaurants, tour groups, commercial companies and others. Mapleside Farms is more than just an apple farm. but a destination thai offers a gift shop, a rustic country restaurant, shopping in its ApPle House, a bakery and an tee cream parlor.

The challenge in creating a landscape enjoyable in winter as well as the rest of the year is in integrating all the design elements. Think in three dimensions ruther than two. Design with mass, viewed mostly from ground level, either from indoors or outside. Wall in spaces, open up file viburnum; the .red berries vistas, create thoroughfares on leafless stems uf winterand resting places.
