Old advertising pieces tlke this are expected to draw a big crowd to this weekend's auction at the store. . .. .. - .. DEPARJMmr STORE NOOKS HOIDJiu:ASliRE TROVE BY BRIAN J. REED BREEOOMVDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT - For Auctioneer Billy Goble, unearthing finds in · the Middleport Department Store has been akin to exploring King Tut's tomb. Goble has been contracted ·by the store's owners. Tom Dooley and Bruce Fisher, to sell inventory, store fixtures and the store building itself in an auction coming up this weekend. What Goble has found as he catalogs the building's contents has been exciting for someone who knows and appreciates both the munetary and historical value of old things . . Remaining store inventory from the department store, including clothing and gift items, will be sold along with antiques from Sue's Selectables, owned by Dooley's former business partner, Sue Stone. But most fascinating are the old adverti sing pieces, fixtures and bits of ''dead" inventory remaining from the store's thriving early days . Venerable brands like Coats and Clark, Anvil work wear and Fruit of the Loom are represented in signage and fixtures discovered throughout the store's spacious sales tloors, but some of the most interesting and valuable items were complete surprises ,' discovered by Goble as he poked around an attic crawl space in the massive building . Two loy riding horses with cloth seats are estimated to be at least I00 years old. They were found in the attic. A wooden New Royal Sewing Machine sign is likely to be from the same era, and was found in the same location. Why they were stashed in the attic is a mystery. but · those two find s are probably the most collectable and most valuable of anything else in the store, Goble said. They could bring many hundreds of dollars, each. Other items of interest were found in the store 's basement, which was once a bustling sale s area but was later sealed off from customers and accessed only by a ladder. Advertising pieces have been "hot" item s for collectors for the past several years, and vintage items like those found at the Middleport Department Store will likely bring a high price . Goble said he has advertised the auction in news papers throughout . Ohio and on the internet. For anyone with an interest in retailing, there are also hat boxes from a bygone retailing era, mannequ'i ns, vintage cash registers, massive glass di splay cases, antique toy s. and furniture , What was the most unusual discove ry ? Fur Goble, it 's a pair of britches - Wrangler jeans, measuring well over six feet long. The mammoth jeans were used as a promotional display. The customer who guessed the number of Auctioneer Bilty Gobte is pictured with two rocking horses found in an attic crawl space at the Middleport Department Store. He expects these Circa-1900 toys to bring top dotlar at this weekend's auction of department store fixtures and inventory. stitches in the pants won a prize . Fisher said he and Dooley have been just as surprised · and . deli ghted with the unexpected discoveries as their auctioneer. ·' We didn't eve n know that attic was there," Fisher said . "We ass umed it was a trap door leading to the roof. so the things that were found the re hav e just amazed us." The store, which first opened as Rathburn' s Departme nt Store in the earliest day s of the 20th century, was closed in January . In its heyday. it operated on three sales floors and a full basemen!. The sale will be gi n with inv entory from Sue's Selectables and th ~ Department Store, if time permits, from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday. Store fixtures and other items will be included in the Saturday auction, which begi ns at I 0 a.m. The building will be sold at auction on Saturday. as well. ooo • '· • ' MIDDLEPORT Middleport Village Council President Stephen Houchins said the village solicitor will review a councilman's decision to withdraw a proposed ta x levy from the May primary. Houchins pre sided at Monday evening 's regular meeting of village council in the absence of Mayor Sandy lannarelli, who was out of lown . He said lunnarelli instructed him to collect statements about the removal of the ballot issue from the May primary. Houchins did not indicate whether Solicitor Jennifer Sheets of Pomeroy would review the case for possible litigation or to investigate any recourse through the elections system. He only said his "boss," lannarelli, had instructed him to refer the matter to Sheets for revtew. In January, council authorized Fiscal Officer Susan Baker to seek projected revenue ligures for one. two and three- mill levies to replace a levy voters rejected in November. At the Feb. 12 meeting of council, a threemill levy was aulhorized for the May ballot. Councilman Ferman Moore said he delivered the necessary paperwork to the Board of Elections before the Feb. 22 tiling deadline. but discussed the matter with two other council members and tried to contact Houchins and other members of council before making the decision to remove the matter from the May ballot , in order to save the cost of the primary. Moore said he hoped his decision would allow councit "a second chance" to review the matter and possi. bly hold a spec ial meeting to rescind its decision to place the lny on the May balloi. In a written statement to council members he di stribuled Monday eve ning, Moore said "time was run nin g out anu I felt that some acti'on must be taken."

China·s economy. Investors were also : spooked by comments · Monday from former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan · Greenspan, who said a reces. sion in the u.s. was "possible" later this year. One day after sending Shanghai's benchmark index to a record. investors dumped .stocks to lock in profits amid speculation about a fresh round of austerity measures from Beijing to slow the nation's sizzling economy. The Shanghai Composite Index tumbled 8.8 percent to close at 2.771.79, its largest decline since it fell 8.9 percent on Feb. I8, 1997, at the time of the death of Communist Party elder Deng Xiaoping. Meanwhile; the price of oil fell on speculation that a slowing Chinese economy would slice into demand for fuel. A barrel of light, sweet crude was down 56 cents $60.83 in premarket tntding on the New York Mercantile Exchange. ''The (rumors) that China is going to impose a capital gains tax resulted in regional markets falling," said S. Sharath, an analyst with MIDF-Amanah Investment Bank in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the benchmark index tumbled 2.8 percent. But Greenspan's comments also took a heavy toll on Asian markets. "Our economy is also dependent on the U.S. economy, if there is adverse news, exports from our country is gomg to drop," Sharath said. · In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index tumbled 1.8 percent, while Singapore's Straits Times index sank 2.3 percent. Markets in Japan and Taiwan, however, registered . only modest declines. AP ECONOMICS WRITER AP pbote Nicholas Bngandi, left, and Joseph Brigandi, both of Van der Moolen Specialists, watch the early numbers on the floor of the New York Stock Exchan,ge, Tuesday, in New York. Wall Street fell sharply, joining a global stock decline on growing concerns about slowing economies in the U.S. and China. The plunge spilled over to New York. where the Dow Jones industrials tumbled 416.02, or 3.29 percent, to 12,216.24. In London. the FTSE-100 dropped 2.31 percent, France's CAC ·40 dropped 3.02 percent and Germany's . DAX lost 2.96 percent. Major Latin American markets closed sharply lower Tuesday. In Brazil, which depends he avii y on exports such as steel, soy beans and iron ore, to China, Sao Paulo's Bovespa index finished off 6. ~ percent, Mexico City's IPC index shed 5.8 percent, the IPSA index in Santiago, Chile ended down 5.0 percent, while in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Merval dropped 7.4 percent. Chinese share prices doubled l~st year as investors piled into the market following the completion . of shareholding refonns that helped to reduce worries over a potential flood of shares entering the market. But stocks have been extremely volatile -this year, with the Shanghai index notching one-day drops of 4.9 percent and 3.7 percent in January - before recovering to hit new highs . On Monday, it closed at a record 3.040.60. Tuesday, market heavyweights plunged on heavy selling by institutional investors, which in tum spooked retail investors who decided to cash in their recent gains mther than risk losing them in a severe market decline. ''The most important rea· son for today 's decline was pressure for profit-takin~, " said Peng Yunliang, a semor analyst at Shanghai Securities. . "People viewed 3,000 as a psychological benchmark. It's understandable they might want to pull back after the market hit that peak." China's economy last year grew I0.7 percent - the highest rate since 1995 and a central bank report at the beginning of the year estimated it would expand 9.8 this year. On Mondar. banks were required to llllse the amount of money they must hold in reserve to 10 percent from 9.5 percent, reducing the amount available for lending. Authorities had last raised the reserve mtio on Jan. 15. The goverment, worried that excessive borrowing could trigger a debt crisis, also raised interest mtes twice last year. In comments to a business conference in Hong Kong on Monday, Greenspan said the U.S. economy- has been expanding since 200 I and that there are signs the current economic cycle is coming to an end. "When you get this far away from a recession invariably forces build up for the next recession, and indeed we are beginning to see that sign," Greenspan said. "For example in the U.S., profit margins ... have begun to stabilize, which is an early sign we are in the later stages of a cycle." "While, yes, it is possible we can get a recession in the latter months of 2007, most forecasters are not making that judgment and indeed are projecting forward into 2008 ... with some slowdown," he said.

A message posted on a Web site used by militants said "a mujahid (holy warrior) ... carried out a suicide atta~:k in front of the second gate of the Bagram Air Base. ... The target was Bush's vice president, Dick Cheney." A purported Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said Cheney was the target of the attack carried out by an Afghan Mullah Abdul named Rahim. "We knew that Dick Cheney would be staying inside the base," Ahmadi told The Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location. "The attacker was trying to reach Cheney." But it appeared unlikely the bomber would have been able to reach .th·: vice r.resident, who wa.; in a 'very safe and se•:ure place" roughly a mile 1rom the blast site, said U.S. SJ'Dkesman Lt. Col. David Accel!a. The bomber. Accetta said, never tried to get by any U.S.-manned . security checkpomts and instead walked into a group of Afghans out~;de the base and detonateo himself. "To char:tcterize this as a direct att·ompt on the life of the vic'" president is absurd," Acccna said. Cheney 's trip to · Afghanistan - on the heels of a four-hour visit Monday to Pakistan - had not been announced in advance . Snow said he did not know whether publicity about Cheney's overnight stay at the base helped invite the atta~: k - af!er the planned meeting Monday with Karzai was postponed. Even though reaching the ' front gate of the U$. base could have been achieved with relative ease, the idea of getting through U.S. security to attack Cheney was "far-fetched ," in the words of Maj . William Mitchell, a U.S. spokesman. Nevertheless, Seth Jones, an Afghan expert at the RAND Corp. think tank, said the attack was a "stark reminder of the deteriorating security environment" in Afghanistan and was a pro. paganda boost for the Taliban. "The attack also demonstrates the strength of the suicide network the Taliban and al-Qaida have in place," Jones said. "To execute such an attack on such short notice requires a well-developed net work of suicide bombers and handlers that can react quickly." Husain Haqqani, director for of . the Center International Relations at Boston University and a former advi ser to . three Pakistani prime ministers. said the attack "does not retlect well on the Afghan gove rnment 's ability to maintain security." The bombing sends the message that the Taliban threat "is greater than the U.S. has considere() it," he said. · Karzai 's office said 23 people were killed, includmg 20 Afghan workers waiting outside..the ba-;e. Twenty other people were injured, it said. NATO said nine people had been killed, including a U.S. soldier. a U.S. contractor ami a South Korean soldier. but Collins said the numbers from Karzai 's o11"t<:e were probably "close to the truth." WASHINGTON - Alan Greenspan and the Wall Street nosedive aside, economists think the probability of a U.S. recession this year is fairly low and the likeli·. hood of one in China is even slimmer. Greenspan, the former· ~:hairman of the Federal Reserve, warned this week that the wprld 's l ar~es t economy - the Umted States - could slip into recession this year. That would be bad news for the global economy, too. However, many economists put the probability of a recession at about one in five . ' The biggest risk to the five-year-old U.S. economic expansion is that the housing slump might take an unexpected turn for the worse, analysts say. In one dire scenario, not only would consumers and businesses clamp down on spending and investing. but troubles could spread to lenders dealin~ in_ risky mortgages, tnggermg a financial crisis. The latest U.S. economic barometers released Thesday were mostly good, but they failed to ease investors' anxiety. The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 416.02 points to close at 12,216.24. At one point during the day, the Dow slid as much as 546 points, its worst decline in more than live years. The National Association of Realtors reported that sales of previously owned homes - the biggest chunk of the housing market rose by 3 percent in January from the previous mol\lh. That was the largest gain in two years. While the sales boost was helped out by last month's unusually warm weather, it still raised hopes that the worst of the residential real-estate bust may be over. Even if that turns out to be the case, the P.ain of the housing slump wtll continue to be felt this year because the inventory of unsold homes is still bloated. That will take time to fix and may drag down home prices even more. The nationwide median price of an existing home sold in January sank to $210,600, a drop of 3.1 percent from last year and the third-largest annual decline on record. The median price is where half sell for more and half for less. So far, consumers - the lifeblood of the economy have been spending sufticiently to keep the economy moving ahead. The worry, though, is that people who had treated their homes like ATMs - when values were soaring through the five year housing . boom that ended in 2005 - will cut back on their spending as home prices in some mar· kets drop or go up only a little. Before Tuesday 's huge stock market drop, consumers seemed in buoyant spirits. Consumer confidence zoomed to a 5 1/2-year high in February with people feeling better about current economic conditions as well as the jobs climate. The Conference Board's index climbed to 112.5 from II 0.2 in January. That should ' • ' bode well for the national economy because' if consumers are feeling optimistic they may be more inclined to spend. A third report, also released Tuesday, underscored the , struggles of the nation's manufacturers, who have been feeling the strain from the ailing housing and automotive sectors as well as intense foreign "Com~ti­ tion. Orders for big-hcket manufactured goods plunged 7.8 percent in January. the largest decline since October, the Commerce Department said. Economic growth for the final quarter of 2006 is expected to be downgraded on Wednesday to a subpar 2.3 percent pace from the solid 3.5 percent mte initially estimated a month ago. Gross domestic product measures the value of all goods and services produced in the United States and is the best barometer of the nation's economic fitness. For all of this year, the National Association for Business Economics. or · NABE, is predicting the economy to slow to 2.8 percent. down from 3.4 percent in 2006. The Bush administration thinks growth will slow to 2.9 percent, while the Federal Reserve estimates somewhere between 2.5 percent and 3 percent. The hou sing slump is expected to be the main culprit. Next year, though, economic growth would pick up to the 3 percent ran~e. The International Monetary Fund, in projections last fall. said the world economy should hold up well in the face of a slowing U.S. economy and should grow by a solid 4.9 percent this year. China's economy logged blistering growth of 10.7 percent last year - the most since 1995. It is expected to slow somewhat to 9.8 percent this year, according to the country's central bank. Brian Bethune, economist at Global Insight, predicted China's growth would have to slow much more - to around 6 percent or less to prec1p1tate maJor economic turmoil. "It would take a major slowdown to upset the Chinese applecart," he said. Economists put the odds of a U.S recession this year at about one in five . "It is very rare that business cycles die of old age. It is usually some shock that leads to recession," said Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at LaSalle Bank and president of the NABE. The economy's last recession in 200 I was preceded by the bursting of a stock market bubble in 2000 that wiped out trillions·of dollars in paper wealth. Then came'· the 200 I terror attacks. The shock this time could come from the housing slump and from the surge in delinquencies and foreclosures for "subprime" borrowers people with weaker credit records who are considered higher risks - especially those who have adjustable·rate mortgages. "While the probability of a recession is . low, it does highlight that the economy will be vulnerable to . any shock in 2007. It is worth thinking about and preparing· for." said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody 's Economy.com.

PLUNGE 9 PERCENT, BIGGFST DROP IN A DECADE economists say, despite Wall Street worries BY ElAINE KURTENBACH M' BUSINESS WRITER BY JEANNINE AVERSA . SHANGHAI, China :·Chinese stocks plunged near. ly 9 percent Tuesday, their : biggest p in a decade, rat: tling m· . ts from Hong : Kong t<i'Sing· re and a~ far away as New York amid fears of a slowdown in . China·s economy. Investors were also : spooked by comments · Monday from former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan · Greenspan, who said a reces. sion in the u.s. was "possible" later this year. One day after sending Shanghai's benchmark index to a record. investors dumped .stocks to lock in profits amid speculation about a fresh round of austerity measures from Beijing to slow the nation's sizzling economy. The Shanghai Composite Index tumbled 8.8 percent to close at 2.771.79, its largest decline since it fell 8.9 percent on Feb. I8, 1997, at the time of the death of Communist Party elder Deng Xiaoping. Meanwhile; the price of oil fell on speculation that a slowing Chinese economy would slice into demand for fuel. A barrel of light, sweet crude was down 56 cents $60.83 in premarket tntding on the New York Mercantile Exchange. ''The (rumors) that China is going to impose a capital gains tax resulted in regional markets falling," said S. Sharath, an analyst with MIDF-Amanah Investment Bank in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the benchmark index tumbled 2.8 percent. But Greenspan's comments also took a heavy toll on Asian markets. "Our economy is also dependent on the U.S. economy, if there is adverse news, exports from our country is gomg to drop," Sharath said. · In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index tumbled 1.8 percent, while Singapore's Straits Times index sank 2.3 percent. Markets in Japan and Taiwan, however, registered . only modest declines. AP ECONOMICS WRITER AP pbote Nicholas Bngandi, left, and Joseph Brigandi, both of Van der Moolen Specialists, watch the early numbers on the floor of the New York Stock Exchan,ge, Tuesday, in New York. Wall Street fell sharply, joining a global stock decline on growing concerns about slowing economies in the U.S. and China. The plunge spilled over to New York. where the Dow Jones industrials tumbled 416.02, or 3.29 percent, to 12,216.24. In London. the FTSE-100 dropped 2.31 percent, France's CAC ·40 dropped 3.02 percent and Germany's . DAX lost 2.96 percent. Major Latin American markets closed sharply lower Tuesday. In Brazil, which depends he avii y on exports such as steel, soy beans and iron ore, to China, Sao Paulo's Bovespa index finished off 6. ~ percent, Mexico City's IPC index shed 5.8 percent, the IPSA index in Santiago, Chile ended down 5.0 percent, while in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Merval dropped 7.4 percent. Chinese share prices doubled l~st year as investors piled into the market following the completion . of shareholding refonns that helped to reduce worries over a potential flood of shares entering the market. But stocks have been extremely volatile -this year, with the Shanghai index notching one-day drops of 4.9 percent and 3.7 percent in January - before recovering to hit new highs . On Monday, it closed at a record 3.040.60. Tuesday, market heavyweights plunged on heavy selling by institutional investors, which in tum spooked retail investors who decided to cash in their recent gains mther than risk losing them in a severe market decline. ''The most important rea· son for today 's decline was pressure for profit-takin~, " said Peng Yunliang, a semor analyst at Shanghai Securities. . "People viewed 3,000 as a psychological benchmark. It's understandable they might want to pull back after the market hit that peak." China's economy last year grew I0.7 percent - the highest rate since 1995 and a central bank report at the beginning of the year estimated it would expand 9.8 this year. On Mondar. banks were required to llllse the amount of money they must hold in reserve to 10 percent from 9.5 percent, reducing the amount available for lending. Authorities had last raised the reserve mtio on Jan. 15. The goverment, worried that excessive borrowing could trigger a debt crisis, also raised interest mtes twice last year. In comments to a business conference in Hong Kong on Monday, Greenspan said the U.S. economy- has been expanding since 200 I and that there are signs the current economic cycle is coming to an end. "When you get this far away from a recession invariably forces build up for the next recession, and indeed we are beginning to see that sign," Greenspan said. "For example in the U.S., profit margins ... have begun to stabilize, which is an early sign we are in the later stages of a cycle." "While, yes, it is possible we can get a recession in the latter months of 2007, most forecasters are not making that judgment and indeed are projecting forward into 2008 ... with some slowdown," he said.

A message posted on a Web site used by militants said "a mujahid (holy warrior) ... carried out a suicide atta~:k in front of the second gate of the Bagram Air Base. ... The target was Bush's vice president, Dick Cheney." A purported Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said Cheney was the target of the attack carried out by an Afghan Mullah Abdul named Rahim. "We knew that Dick Cheney would be staying inside the base," Ahmadi told The Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location. "The attacker was trying to reach Cheney." But it appeared unlikely the bomber would have been able to reach .th·: vice r.resident, who wa.; in a 'very safe and se•:ure place" roughly a mile 1rom the blast site, said U.S. SJ'Dkesman Lt. Col. David Accel!a. The bomber. Accetta said, never tried to get by any U.S.-manned . security checkpomts and instead walked into a group of Afghans out~;de the base and detonateo himself. "To char:tcterize this as a direct att·ompt on the life of the vic'" president is absurd," Acccna said. Cheney 's trip to · Afghanistan - on the heels of a four-hour visit Monday to Pakistan - had not been announced in advance . Snow said he did not know whether publicity about Cheney's overnight stay at the base helped invite the atta~: k - af!er the planned meeting Monday with Karzai was postponed. Even though reaching the ' front gate of the U$. base could have been achieved with relative ease, the idea of getting through U.S. security to attack Cheney was "far-fetched ," in the words of Maj . William Mitchell, a U.S. spokesman. Nevertheless, Seth Jones, an Afghan expert at the RAND Corp. think tank, said the attack was a "stark reminder of the deteriorating security environment" in Afghanistan and was a pro. paganda boost for the Taliban. "The attack also demonstrates the strength of the suicide network the Taliban and al-Qaida have in place," Jones said. "To execute such an attack on such short notice requires a well-developed net work of suicide bombers and handlers that can react quickly." Husain Haqqani, director for of . the Center International Relations at Boston University and a former advi ser to . three Pakistani prime ministers. said the attack "does not retlect well on the Afghan gove rnment 's ability to maintain security." The bombing sends the message that the Taliban threat "is greater than the U.S. has considere() it," he said. · Karzai 's office said 23 people were killed, includmg 20 Afghan workers waiting outside..the ba-;e. Twenty other people were injured, it said. NATO said nine people had been killed, including a U.S. soldier. a U.S. contractor ami a South Korean soldier. but Collins said the numbers from Karzai 's o11"t<:e were probably "close to the truth." WASHINGTON - Alan Greenspan and the Wall Street nosedive aside, economists think the probability of a U.S. recession this year is fairly low and the likeli·. hood of one in China is even slimmer. Greenspan, the former· ~:hairman of the Federal Reserve, warned this week that the wprld 's l ar~es t economy - the Umted States - could slip into recession this year. That would be bad news for the global economy, too. However, many economists put the probability of a recession at about one in five . ' The biggest risk to the five-year-old U.S. economic expansion is that the housing slump might take an unexpected turn for the worse, analysts say. In one dire scenario, not only would consumers and businesses clamp down on spending and investing. but troubles could spread to lenders dealin~ in_ risky mortgages, tnggermg a financial crisis. The latest U.S. economic barometers released Thesday were mostly good, but they failed to ease investors' anxiety. The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 416.02 points to close at 12,216.24. At one point during the day, the Dow slid as much as 546 points, its worst decline in more than live years. The National Association of Realtors reported that sales of previously owned homes - the biggest chunk of the housing market rose by 3 percent in January from the previous mol\lh. That was the largest gain in two years. While the sales boost was helped out by last month's unusually warm weather, it still raised hopes that the worst of the residential real-estate bust may be over. Even if that turns out to be the case, the P.ain of the housing slump wtll continue to be felt this year because the inventory of unsold homes is still bloated. That will take time to fix and may drag down home prices even more. The nationwide median price of an existing home sold in January sank to $210,600, a drop of 3.1 percent from last year and the third-largest annual decline on record. The median price is where half sell for more and half for less. So far, consumers - the lifeblood of the economy have been spending sufticiently to keep the economy moving ahead. The worry, though, is that people who had treated their homes like ATMs - when values were soaring through the five year housing . boom that ended in 2005 - will cut back on their spending as home prices in some mar· kets drop or go up only a little. Before Tuesday 's huge stock market drop, consumers seemed in buoyant spirits. Consumer confidence zoomed to a 5 1/2-year high in February with people feeling better about current economic conditions as well as the jobs climate. The Conference Board's index climbed to 112.5 from II 0.2 in January. That should ' • ' bode well for the national economy because' if consumers are feeling optimistic they may be more inclined to spend. A third report, also released Tuesday, underscored the , struggles of the nation's manufacturers, who have been feeling the strain from the ailing housing and automotive sectors as well as intense foreign "Com~ti­ tion. Orders for big-hcket manufactured goods plunged 7.8 percent in January. the largest decline since October, the Commerce Department said. Economic growth for the final quarter of 2006 is expected to be downgraded on Wednesday to a subpar 2.3 percent pace from the solid 3.5 percent mte initially estimated a month ago. Gross domestic product measures the value of all goods and services produced in the United States and is the best barometer of the nation's economic fitness. For all of this year, the National Association for Business Economics. or · NABE, is predicting the economy to slow to 2.8 percent. down from 3.4 percent in 2006. The Bush administration thinks growth will slow to 2.9 percent, while the Federal Reserve estimates somewhere between 2.5 percent and 3 percent. The hou sing slump is expected to be the main culprit. Next year, though, economic growth would pick up to the 3 percent ran~e. The International Monetary Fund, in projections last fall. said the world economy should hold up well in the face of a slowing U.S. economy and should grow by a solid 4.9 percent this year. China's economy logged blistering growth of 10.7 percent last year - the most since 1995. It is expected to slow somewhat to 9.8 percent this year, according to the country's central bank. Brian Bethune, economist at Global Insight, predicted China's growth would have to slow much more - to around 6 percent or less to prec1p1tate maJor economic turmoil. "It would take a major slowdown to upset the Chinese applecart," he said. Economists put the odds of a U.S recession this year at about one in five . "It is very rare that business cycles die of old age. It is usually some shock that leads to recession," said Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at LaSalle Bank and president of the NABE. The economy's last recession in 200 I was preceded by the bursting of a stock market bubble in 2000 that wiped out trillions·of dollars in paper wealth. Then came'· the 200 I terror attacks. The shock this time could come from the housing slump and from the surge in delinquencies and foreclosures for "subprime" borrowers people with weaker credit records who are considered higher risks - especially those who have adjustable·rate mortgages. "While the probability of a recession is . low, it does highlight that the economy will be vulnerable to . any shock in 2007. It is worth thinking about and preparing· for." said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody 's Economy.com.

And why is people peaceably to assemble, and to petition Ronald Reagan is exactly what conservatives seem to the Government for a redress of grievances. be craving most. - The First Amendment to the U.S. Conltltutlon Paul Kengor, author of "The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism," says "Reagan was able to unify and uplift the party ... (largely) through three essential dynamics that George W. Bush does not possess and which all contenders for 2008 and 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio READER'S PageA4 VIEW Kindness Kathryn Lopez beyond will find frustratingly elusive: communication, personality and a single winning issue he pursued with tremendous success." Reagan's magic was his skill for communication, the same communication George W. Bush, despite all his brave leadership on Iraq, lacks. As Kengor vents to me, he channels the frustrations of many conservative supporters of the Iraq war: "This administration seems almost afraid to respond to its harshest critics, as if fearful it will offend The New York Times. There seems to be a complete inability by the president's staff to create helpful images for their president." Think about this one as an example: The most frequent dismissive comment directed at Bush is that he's a "cowboy." Ken!lor recalls: " I always expected the Bush team to play up the Texas- ran<.: h - cow boy imagery of George W. Bush. They never have. I understand why: The Left would call the president a gunslinger and cowboy in a pejorative way. Who care·>' Most Americans love cow boys, they love the Old West. Who cares if Dana Milbank and the Washington Post don't' The liberal press will not like Bush no matter what he does. Reagan wasn't afraid of that cowboy image. He played it up. He spent a full year's worth of time at his ranch while he was president, where he wore cowbo·y bouts, Wranglers , tlannel shins. a St_etson, rode horses, split W<Kxl and slept literally 10 teet from a gun rack fill ed with · Winchesters. one of which he grabbed one day and fired at a crow, to the horror of the Secret Service." Of Carroll New lis course, Reagan ended a Cold War and restored a nation's confidence. If you want 10 be a Reaganesque candidate, Kengor suggests that you "be positive" and "persevere": "Reagan was positive in his imagt! of America as a Shining City.... He saw America that way himself, and then succeeded in communicating that image to Americans. Perseverance is more diflicuh." It 's great to know Reagan inspi red everyone. But when everyone from Republican Mike Huckabee to Democrat Barack Obama is praising Reagan, the winner will be the candidate who embodies the best of Reagan's character: persev~rance, optimism and authenticity.

No arrests have yet been made in what was one of the city's worst arsons, which killed seven immigrants from Mexico and three Americanborn children. Investigators say solving the crime remains a priority while some community members express frustration at the lack of progress. "We need to get those guys off the streets," said Alex Flores, editor-in-chief of La Voz Hispana, a Columbusbased Spanish-language weekly which has followed the case closely. ''lbat's important for all of us, not just the Latino community but for the community as a whole," he said Thesday. "Whoever did this is putting your and my fami1y at risk." The settlement will provide payments totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to parents and grandparents of the victims after auomeys fees of 33 percent are subtracted, according lo the settlement approved Thursday by Judge Lawrence Belskis of Franklin County Probate Coon. The family members receiving the money live in Leon in the stale of in central Guanajuato Mexico, the hometown of the immigrant~ who died in the September 2004 fue.

A month later they released sketches of two men they wanted to talk to about the frre, saying they weren't suspects but might have information about the blaze. Nothing came of that tip. Since then, investigators at times criticized the lack of information coming from the Hispanic community. But they say they continue to push to solve the killings. The Franklin County Sheriff's Office met with community members this month to discuss the case and is planning to produce a public service announcement to generate leads. "We're still reaching out," said Chief Steve Martin of the sheriff's office. Leaders in the Hispanic community say one problem is immigrants' ongoing concern that they will be questioned about their legal status if they come forward with information. Martin said that's not the case and be has made several pt~.blic statements to counter thai perception. In addition, some people are afr.Ud to come forward out of the belief - right or wrong - that they could become a target of retribution from the perpetrators, said Julia Arbini-Carbonell, president of the Ohio Hispanic Coalition.

That cost will be divided among the voting precincts, and then among the political subdivisions in that precinct based on the costs of running the elections there, and deducted from the real estate tax settlements paid to them.

Outside monitor criticiz~s ~ election board security 8Y THOMAS J. SHEERAN ASSOC IATED PRESS WRITER CLEVELAND - The elections board in Ohio 's most populous county failed to provide adequate security for the November election in terms of equipment, staffing and elec tronic voting, an outside monitor said. The Cuyahoga County elections board failed to secure keys to vote-counting rooms, did not comply with state laws govermng bipartisan staffing, left computer users unaccoun(able by allowing a shared password and experienced an unex plained cable connection to vole-counting computers, according to the critique by Cleveland State University's Center for Election Integrity. County commissioners hired the center to review the work of the election board after a botched primary last May in which one polling place opened hours late, some voteholding computer cards went missing and some poll workers were inadequately trained or absent. Executive director Michael Vu, under fire for election foul-ups, announced his resignation Feb . 6, effective Thursday, after months of uncertainty about his future. Board members said Tuesday they took the issues seriously and are addressing them. Alan Melamed , a spokesman for the board, said the monitor 's report had to be viewed in terms of improvements between last May's . election and the November voting . "Certainly that doe sn't mean you ' re not looking to gel as close to perfection as you can, but in a practical situation you make decisions to make sure the election goes for ward in the best way possible," he said. The report said security of double-locked vote· counting rooms was compromised becau se the location of keys assigned to Republicans and Democrat s was widely known . That made it "rel atively easy for a solo staff member to gain unauthorized access to protected spaces, the report said . Sometimes the GOP and Democratic keys were stored on the ~ same nng tn the sa me unl ocked box. according to the report. The mon\tor said there were numerous examples of staff assignments that failed to comply with law s requiring at least four precinct judges, a bipartisan balance of judges at polling places and a limit of one judge under 18 years old per precinct. Also, a cable connection between absentee vote optical scanners and a vott;:-counting computer on another tloor was made for unknown reasons on election eve and the computer clock , earlier correct, later was off by II hours, the report said. The monitor further said shared computer system pas swords were still in use for the fall election despite a written policy that userspecific passwords be required to track activity. Melamed said the key handling issue would be reviewed by the board and that political imbalance at poll s so metimes resulted from poll -worker absences. He said the computer and clock problems resulted from innocent errors and, regarding the password issue. a Democrat and Republican without separate accounts shared a password and were able to watch each other's computer activity. The report submitted last month was the first by the monitor on the fall election , according to Candice Hoke, director of the center. The elections board asked Secrelarv of State Jennifer Brunner in a Feb. 15 leiter to suggest a qualified engineer to review security iss ues .

And why is people peaceably to assemble, and to petition Ronald Reagan is exactly what conservatives seem to the Government for a redress of grievances. be craving most. - The First Amendment to the U.S. Conltltutlon Paul Kengor, author of "The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism," says "Reagan was able to unify and uplift the party ... (largely) through three essential dynamics that George W. Bush does not possess and which all contenders for 2008 and 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio READER'S PageA4 VIEW Kindness Kathryn Lopez beyond will find frustratingly elusive: communication, personality and a single winning issue he pursued with tremendous success." Reagan's magic was his skill for communication, the same communication George W. Bush, despite all his brave leadership on Iraq, lacks. As Kengor vents to me, he channels the frustrations of many conservative supporters of the Iraq war: "This administration seems almost afraid to respond to its harshest critics, as if fearful it will offend The New York Times. There seems to be a complete inability by the president's staff to create helpful images for their president." Think about this one as an example: The most frequent dismissive comment directed at Bush is that he's a "cowboy." Ken!lor recalls: " I always expected the Bush team to play up the Texas- ran<.: h - cow boy imagery of George W. Bush. They never have. I understand why: The Left would call the president a gunslinger and cowboy in a pejorative way. Who care·>' Most Americans love cow boys, they love the Old West. Who cares if Dana Milbank and the Washington Post don't' The liberal press will not like Bush no matter what he does. Reagan wasn't afraid of that cowboy image. He played it up. He spent a full year's worth of time at his ranch while he was president, where he wore cowbo·y bouts, Wranglers , tlannel shins. a St_etson, rode horses, split W<Kxl and slept literally 10 teet from a gun rack fill ed with · Winchesters. one of which he grabbed one day and fired at a crow, to the horror of the Secret Service." Of Carroll New lis course, Reagan ended a Cold War and restored a nation's confidence. If you want 10 be a Reaganesque candidate, Kengor suggests that you "be positive" and "persevere": "Reagan was positive in his imagt! of America as a Shining City.... He saw America that way himself, and then succeeded in communicating that image to Americans. Perseverance is more diflicuh." It 's great to know Reagan inspi red everyone. But when everyone from Republican Mike Huckabee to Democrat Barack Obama is praising Reagan, the winner will be the candidate who embodies the best of Reagan's character: persev~rance, optimism and authenticity.

No arrests have yet been made in what was one of the city's worst arsons, which killed seven immigrants from Mexico and three Americanborn children. Investigators say solving the crime remains a priority while some community members express frustration at the lack of progress. "We need to get those guys off the streets," said Alex Flores, editor-in-chief of La Voz Hispana, a Columbusbased Spanish-language weekly which has followed the case closely. ''lbat's important for all of us, not just the Latino community but for the community as a whole," he said Thesday. "Whoever did this is putting your and my fami1y at risk." The settlement will provide payments totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to parents and grandparents of the victims after auomeys fees of 33 percent are subtracted, according lo the settlement approved Thursday by Judge Lawrence Belskis of Franklin County Probate Coon.

A month later they released sketches of two men they wanted to talk to about the frre, saying they weren't suspects but might have information about the blaze. Nothing came of that tip. Since then, investigators at times criticized the lack of information coming from the Hispanic community. But they say they continue to push to solve the killings. The Franklin County Sheriff's Office met with community members this month to discuss the case and is planning to produce a public service announcement to generate leads. "We're still reaching out," said Chief Steve Martin of the sheriff's office. Leaders in the Hispanic community say one problem is immigrants' ongoing concern that they will be questioned about their legal status if they come forward with information. Martin said that's not the case and be has made several pt~.blic statements to counter thai perception. In addition, some people are afr.Ud to come forward out of the belief - right or wrong - that they could become a target of retribution from the perpetrators, said Julia Arbini-Carbonell, president of the Ohio Hispanic Coalition.

Outside monitor criticiz~s ~ election board security 8Y THOMAS J. SHEERAN ASSOC IATED PRESS WRITER CLEVELAND - The elections board in Ohio 's most populous county failed to provide adequate security for the November election in terms of equipment, staffing and elec tronic voting, an outside monitor said. The Cuyahoga County elections board failed to secure keys to vote-counting rooms, did not comply with state laws govermng bipartisan staffing, left computer users unaccoun(able by allowing a shared password and experienced an unex plained cable connection to vole-counting computers, according to the critique by Cleveland State University's Center for Election Integrity. County commissioners hired the center to review the work of the election board after a botched primary last May in which one polling place opened hours late, some voteholding computer cards went missing and some poll workers were inadequately trained or absent. Executive director Michael Vu, under fire for election foul-ups, announced his resignation Feb . 6, effective Thursday, after months of uncertainty about his future. Board members said Tuesday they took the issues seriously and are addressing them. Alan Melamed , a spokesman for the board, said the monitor 's report had to be viewed in terms of improvements between last May's . election and the November voting . "Certainly that doe sn't mean you ' re not looking to gel as close to perfection as you can, but in a practical situation you make decisions to make sure the election goes for ward in the best way possible," he said. The report said security of double-locked vote· counting rooms was compromised becau se the location of keys assigned to Republicans and Democrat s was widely known . That made it "rel atively easy for a solo staff member to gain unauthorized access to protected spaces, the report said . Sometimes the GOP and Democratic keys were stored on the ~ same nng tn the sa me unl ocked box. according to the report. The mon\tor said there were numerous examples of staff assignments that failed to comply with law s requiring at least four precinct judges, a bipartisan balance of judges at polling places and a limit of one judge under 18 years old per precinct. Also, a cable connection between absentee vote optical scanners and a vott;:-counting computer on another tloor was made for unknown reasons on election eve and the computer clock , earlier correct, later was off by II hours, the report said. The monitor further said shared computer system pas swords were still in use for the fall election despite a written policy that userspecific passwords be required to track activity. Melamed said the key handling issue would be reviewed by the board and that political imbalance at poll s so metimes resulted from poll -worker absences. He said the computer and clock problems resulted from innocent errors and, regarding the password issue. a Democrat and Republican without separate accounts shared a password and were able to watch each other's computer activity. The report submitted last month was the first by the monitor on the fall election , according to Candice Hoke, director of the center. The elections board asked Secrelarv of State Jennifer Brunner in a Feb. 15 leiter to suggest a qualified engineer to review security iss ues .

In the second meeting, the lineups may have been the different - but the results stayed the same . Wahama 116-6) swept county rival Hannan (4-1 6) with a 55 - ~3 victory Tuesday ni ght in Point Pleasant, claiming the Class A, Region VII. Section I championship and claiming the most wins in a season in nearly three decades and claiming back-to-back winning seasons in years. Wahama also increased its hold on the Wildcats to 2912 in the overall series between the t~o Mason County schools. "Number one. it was a great effort by a lot kids, I was really pleased with the teamwork, the hustle and the defense," said Wahama head coach James Toth. ''Anytime you can hold a team to II points at halftime, coach Mike Wolfe does our defense and did a heck of a job with our gameplan for these guys. ··our kids came out a little tight in the first quarter, some of the kids that usually play aggressive did not , hut in the end we are going to take a win and a sectional title. We are thrilled for our program and we are looking forward to a chance to play in the state tournament." Both teams came out a lit· tie sluggish in the opening quarter. as Hannan scored only two points and the White Falcons had just nine in an uncharacteristically low scoring opening frame. Things picked up a little more in the second, but still remained low scoring as Wahama took a 20-11 edge into halftime with neither team able to take command of the sec tional champi· onship game. Hannan tried to take hold in the third quarter, coming as close as seven points at 24-17 midway through the third segment with help from Jason Bennett who had six, but after that.

Even those brides-to-be who knew all the reasons why they were getting married a few months ago may be facing the prospect of walking down the aisle with anxiety. Call it cold feet or wedding jitters, the feeling is common among newlyweds-to-be . Stress has a funny way of making mountains out of molehills - little idiosyncracies in a partner can quickly grow into horrible character traits. The key is recognizing when fears are just the result of too much planning and not deep-rooted relationship issues. Usually a person quickly realizes they're more overwhelmed about the wedding details than the thought of making a commitment. "The What If Guy," by Taylor G. Wilshire has messages of love, forgiveness and affirmation at its roots, which can offer help at this important time in your life.

This release technique ts something main character Ryley McKenna used in the book to clear her fears and prevent overworrying . Sometimes having all of your racing thoughts organized and on paper can help you rationally address the issues and see that there is no serious cause of the jitters. It can also help you pinpoint a common stress trigger, such as a financial concern or a conflict with a family member. Compare these fears to a list of reasons why you love your partner and want to enter a commitment with this person . This simple task can bring order to jumbled feelings and offer clarity on any nervousness you may have. l. Learn to relax - Make time for yourself and enjoy activities that are not directly related to wedding planning. For example, some women benefit from a massage or facial treatment. Others find that a relaxing drive or walk along the beach or through another quiet area can help promote calmness .

And just like brides have many different styles from which to ch9<>se with respect to their gowns, so. too. do grooms when it comes to their tuxedos. While a groom's wardrobe decision typically does not involve as much forethought or time as a bride's, he should keep in mind several factors before choosing a tuxedo. These include the degree of formality and the time of the event in addition to the style of the tuxedo itself. For instance, if the event is going to be ultraformal, then a traditional tuxedo complete with a tuxedo ~est and tie is the most appropnate choice. Grooms going this route can also choose to add a top hat, cane and even tux~ gloves as accessones . However, at less formal weddings, this would clearly not be the best option. To help you make the right decision, tK:re is a list of some tuxedo tenrunology that should help you make a more educated choice. • Single-breasted. Any man who has ever put on a suit, be it a tux or a business suit, likely knows that single-breasted means a suit with a single row of buttons down the middle. This has become the more popular choice of late and is appropriate for men of all ~y types. Single-breasted su1ts come in many styles, however. You can order a single-breasted tuxedo with either one button or two ' with the choice typically dependir1g on the groom s beight (taller grooms usually prefer two buttons, while shorter grooms like one button). Grooms cjlll also order threeor four-button single-breasted tuxedos. These are generally only good for men ~ho are particularly tall or tbin, as larger men should avoid the three- or four-button tuxedo. • Double-breasted.

Typically, these work best with heftier grooms, as double-breasted suits tend to hide girth and appear more comfortable. • Cutaway Tuxedo. These go well with men of all statures. Cutaway refers to the front edges of the coat sloping diagonally from the waist and. forming tails in the ~ck. These are the most appropnate option for daytime we.ddings. . • Tails . Ta1ls are mamly reserved for ultraformal and traditional weddings. Featuring a severe break between front and back, tails should be avQided by shorter or stockier grooms. . • High or Low Vest. H1gh vests are typically good for taller men w1th longer torsos, as they extend up the torso higher than a regular vest and go well with a high-button coat. Low vests are more appropriate for most men and can be worn by men of all body types. . • Peaked Lapel.

And just like brides have many different styles from which to ch9<>se with respect to their gowns, so. too. do grooms when it comes to their tuxedos. While a groom's wardrobe decision typically does not involve as much forethought or time as a bride's, he should keep in mind several factors before choosing a tuxedo. These include the degree of formality and the time of the event in addition to the style of the tuxedo itself. For instance, if the event is going to be ultraformal, then a traditional tuxedo complete with a tuxedo ~est and tie is the most appropnate choice. Grooms going this route can also choose to add a top hat, cane and even tux~ gloves as accessones . However, at less formal weddings, this would clearly not be the best option. To help you make the right decision, tK:re is a list of some tuxedo tenrunology that should help you make a more educated choice. • Single-breasted. Any man who has ever put on a suit, be it a tux or a business suit, likely knows that single-breasted means a suit with a single row of buttons down the middle. This has become the more popular choice of late and is appropriate for men of all ~y types. Single-breasted su1ts come in many styles, however. You can order a single-breasted tuxedo with either one button or two ' with the choice typically dependir1g on the groom s beight (taller grooms usually prefer two buttons, while shorter grooms like one button). Grooms cjlll also order threeor four-button single-breasted tuxedos. These are generally only good for men ~ho are particularly tall or tbin, as larger men should avoid the three- or four-button tuxedo. • Double-breasted. As one migbt infer, the double~breast­ ed Up.edo is one With two . • Refrigerators 304-273-9500 Wednesday, February 28, 2007 rows of buttons as opposed to one . Typically, these work best with heftier grooms, as double-breasted suits tend to hide girth and appear more comfortable. • Cutaway Tuxedo. These go well with men of all statures. Cutaway refers to the front edges of the coat sloping diagonally from the waist and. forming tails in the ~ck. These are the most appropnate option for daytime we.ddings. . • Tails . Ta1ls are mamly reserved for ultraformal and traditional weddings. Featuring a severe break between front and back, tails should be avQided by shorter or stockier grooms. . • High or Low Vest. H1gh vests are typically good for taller men w1th longer torsos, as they extend up the torso higher than a regular vest and go well with a high-button coat. Low vests are more appropriate for most men and can be worn by men of all body types. . • Peaked Lapel.

"" �Page 10 • Prom and Bridal Edition HOW TO SAY THANKS BY MARY CLARE JALONICK ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Everyone's met one: a bride who feels entitled to an expensive wedding with all the details just so, who orders friends and family to host parties or spend hundreds of dollars on an ugly bridesmaid's dress, who can be overheard barking , " It's MY wedding!" The one thing she rarely says is "thank you." Even for nicer brides, those two words are often overlooked in the hectic atmosphere surrounding a wedding. Couples who may spend a year or more planning their nuptials often forget that friends and family are also spending precious time and money to make the day more special. "You are surrounded by the people that mean the most to you, so don't take them for granted," says etiquette expert Peggy Post, great-granddaughter-in-law of manners guru Emily Post and author of several books on weddings. "Don't .iust treat them as your personal assistants." Guests today go through more than guests in the past, says Sharon Naylor, author of "The"Bride and Groom ThankYou Guide" and "The Essential Guide to Wedding Etiquette." "They have to travel, they have to spend a lot on gifts," she says. Both Post and Naylor recommend writing thank you notes for wedding gift$ within a month. ~ idea that brides have a year to write them is a myth, they said. ·. Notes must be: handwritten - not typed or e-mailed and should be as personal as possible. It's always gracious to mention what you are going to do with the gift: as well. "Try to sound like yourself." says Naylor. "It ends up freezing a lot of ~ople and they avoid the task.· Both said that more grooms are getting idyol ved in the process . " It's really cool for guests to see the groom's handwriting." Naylor says. Thank-you note recipients appreciate a touch of humor. says Lida Fitts, a Washington, D.C., newlywed who married last May in Alabama. To a guest who gave her silverware, Fitts wrote that she hoped the "lovely gleam would distract guests from poor cooking." "It's a time when you are really excited and it's a shame not to show that to people," she says. "I wanted to wnte them as soon as possible because your excitement about the gift is easy to convey." One major no-no is mass thank you notes, says San Antonio event planner Tracy French. She knows one couple who wrote "thank you" in the sand after their beach wedding, took a picture and sent it to all of their guests as thanks for gifts. "That is so wrong," French says. · "We' re all extremely busy, but I think people are losin~ sight of etiquette and doing thmgs that are traditional." Beyond thank xou notes, brides often give g1fts to party hosts and wedding attendants, and leave gift bags at the hotel for out-of-town guests. Reduced hotel rates are also standard. Raleigh , N .C.,-based wedding consultant Karen Clark su~ests going further by contactmg airlines and rental car companies about giying your guests reduced wedding rates . Finding a. hotel that includes breakfast in the room rate is also a nice thought, she says.

Prom and Bridal Edition Wednesday, February 28,2007 . Page 11 Loving lace: Brides buy into lace gowns' romance, tradition and flexibility BY IAMANniA CRITCHELL M' FASHION WRITER NEW YORK - So many brides love tradition and romance. They love dancing and cake, and they love lace . "Every bride wants to look like Cinderella," says Mark Badgley, half of the design duo Badgley Mischka. "They might come in with crazy ideas about their gown but it always goes back to something traditional , gorgeous, a Grace Kelly sort of number." Adds partner James Mischka: "Almost every bride wants to look pretty and traditional, even the most avantgarde rock 'n' roll chick. Lace covers both ends of the spectrum." The classic white laceadorned bridal gown emerged centuries ago, supposedly first in France, on Anne of Brittany, when she married Louis XII in 1499. It later was popularized by Britain's Queen Victoria, in the mid19th century, and has been a favorite ever since.

Please see Honor, 11 "Groomsmen are often over- . ning process more fun, relaxing Strategies to beat wedding-planning stress (MS) - Getting married can be one of the most memorable and lovely times of your life . But , it can also be one of the most stressful. With so many decisions to make. high-priced expenses and working on a tight deadline. it's easy to see how even the most put-together person could get frazzled. However, stress is not healthy for a bride-to-be. It is commonly known that stress can afl'ect both physical and mental health, but it can also wreak havoc on one's appearance. Stress-induced headaches can contribute to wrinkling around the brow line and eyes from scrunchin~ the face in pain. Additionally, 11 can cause a person to over- or undereat, resulting in weight gain and other cosmetic factors like dull hair, which won't be complementary to your pre-wedding beauty plan. . In order to feel and look recharged for your wedding day, JOICO, the experts in healthy hair products and techniques, and Damien Carney, JOICO'S International Artisttc Director, offer these solutions to help keep stress at bay. • Schedule time for non-wedding-related activities. From dress fittings to consultations with your makeup artist, a bride's calendar is packed with appointments all related to her btg day. Don't forget to schedule some downtime for yourself. whether that be a day spent entirely watching chick flicks or enjoying an at-home hair indulgence, like JOICO'S KPAK Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor. After just five minutes on damp hair, this deep healer smoothes and restores locks to their tip-top form . · • Don't be afraid to delegate. Understandably, you want to have control over your wedding planning along with your fiance. But taking on too many responsibilities can quickly wear at your nerves. You chose a bridal party for good reason, so enlist them to help out with as much as they can. Reserve the big decisions for yourself, such as picking out bouquet blooms, but let them work through the drama of deciding on a bridesmaid dress or ideas on wedding favQrS . If anyone offem help, be it a relative or friend, take them up on it. • Make the most of your hair type and style. Bridal styles are often intricate up-dos or cascading curls- styles you don't do every day that reql,lire fuore effort than simply shampooing and a blowout. Set up an ~inbnent with your stylist to discuss options that will work with your face and the style of your dress. Don't forget to schedule a trial run to make sure you are happy with the look. Also, take a few moments to improve hair's condition . • Treat your body right. Exercise can do wonders for mood and 'appearance. Aim for 30 minutes of modemte exercise a day. This gets the blood pumping, fueling the entire body with energy. Your skin will glow and your hair will be revived . Although you want to be an ideal wei~ht for your wedding day, avmd drastic diets and choose well-balanced, portion-controlled meals instead. Remember, you need to keep your energy up before yoiir wedding day. • Follow your budget. Some wedding stress is money-relat~d. Talk about what you plan to liudget for the wedding with your fiance so you know what you can afl'ord, and comparison shop for vendors.

But , it can also be one of the most stressful. With so many decisions to make. high-priced expenses and working on a tight deadline. it's easy to see how even the most put-together person could get frazzled. However, stress is not healthy for a bride-to-be. It is commonly known that stress can afl'ect both physical and mental health, but it can also wreak havoc on one's appearance. Stress-induced headaches can contribute to wrinkling around the brow line and eyes from scrunchin~ the face in pain. Additionally, 11 can cause a person to over- or undereat, resulting in weight gain and other cosmetic factors like dull hair, which won't be complementary to your pre-wedding beauty plan. . In order to feel and look recharged for your wedding day, JOICO, the experts in healthy hair products and techniques, and Damien Carney, JOICO'S International Artisttc Director, offer these solutions to help keep stress at bay. • Schedule time for non-wedding-related activities. From dress fittings to consultations with your makeup artist, a bride's calendar is packed with appointments all related to her btg day. Don't forget to schedule some downtime for yourself. whether that be a day spent entirely watching chick flicks or enjoying an at-home hair indulgence, like JOICO'S KPAK Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor. After just five minutes on damp hair, this deep healer smoothes and restores locks to their tip-top form . · • Don't be afraid to delegate. Understandably, you want to have control over your wedding planning along with your fiance. But taking on too many responsibilities can quickly wear at your nerves. You chose a bridal party for good reason, so enlist them to help out with as much as they can. Reserve the big decisions for yourself, such as picking out bouquet blooms, but let them work through the drama of deciding on a bridesmaid dress or ideas on wedding favQrS . If anyone offem help, be it a relative or friend, take them up on it. • Make the most of your hair type and style. Bridal styles are often intricate up-dos or cascading curls- styles you don't do every day that reql,lire fuore effort than simply shampooing and a blowout. Set up an ~inbnent with your stylist to discuss options that will work with your face and the style of your dress. Don't forget to schedule a trial run to make sure you are happy with the look. Also, take a few moments to improve hair's condition . • Treat your body right. Exercise can do wonders for mood and 'appearance. Aim for 30 minutes of modemte exercise a day. This gets the blood pumping, fueling the entire body with energy. Your skin will glow and your hair will be revived . Although you want to be an ideal wei~ht for your wedding day, avmd drastic diets and choose well-balanced, portion-controlled meals instead. Remember, you need to keep your energy up before yoiir wedding day. • Follow your budget. Some wedding stress is money-relat~d. Talk about what you plan to liudget for the wedding with your fiance so you know what you can afl'ord, and comparison shop for vendors. Thts way there wiU be few surprises when you're writing out checks or swiping your credit card. Keep stress levels to a minimum so that your wedding day . can be the happy occasion you deserve.

But for many people planning a wedding, budgets get in the way of floral fantasies. "I love orchids: exotic, beautiful orchids," says Laurie Kuther, who got married in Twin Falls, Idaho, last year. "But we were . trying to work on a budget, and so, honestly, they were the last thing on my mind." Instead, Kuther bought gerbera daisies and ranunculus from discount stores and online retailers, and recruited a sisterin-law to put together the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and table centerpieces. "I could not be happier about how it all turned out. The colors of the gerbera daisies were incredible," Kuther says. "We saved hundred of dollars." More and more brides are dabbling in do-it-yourself flowers, says Leanne Kesler, president of the floral Design Institute Learning Center in Portland, Ore . But she and other floral experts warn there's a right way and a wrong way to take on the task . "Doing it yourself is always grand except for when it gets to the moment and you're swamped and crazy," Kesler says. "It's better to consider doing part of it, and then use a trusted florist for the rest instead of ruining your manicure the night before the wedding." If a bride has always dreamed of making her own bridal bouquet, then she absolutely should, Kesler says. "But :most people haven't dreamed of makin$ all the corsages.

Most policies mandate you add a spouse within a 30-day window after you've been married. Look at each policy closely to see which one is more financially beneficial, but also see which one might be better in the long run (i.e., if children will be added down the road). • Review other insurance policies as well: Oftentimes, it's cheaper to combine auto insurance policies instead of each spouse having one in their name.

Why? ln alterations. it 's much harder to make a gown bigger than it is to make it smaller. Designers have a couture mind-set on bridal gowns : They will be fitted to the individual bride's shape through alterations, explains Amsale Aberra, creative director for the high-end Amsale, Kenneth Pool and Christos lines. The size of the original gown is just a starting-off point. But, she acknowledges, the bride probably isn't thinking that far ahead - and the number on the tag can be a roadblock. It can "affect your confidence level. A wedding is when a bride · wants to be her thinnest," Aberra says . Moore agrees: "This has led to a lot of emotional trauma it's not what most retailers and manufacturers are going for." His company, for one, has abandoned both the old size scale and the practice of having one sample dress for all to try on . Part of the change was to make the process a little less confusing to brides. Moore says. David's Bridal surveyed thousands of them and found that the old sizing guidelines simply didn't resemble America's brides today. Not only have the numbers changed, but so have proportions and body types. A handful of other gownmakers also have gone to a "true-size system," says Kathleen Murray, deputy editor of TheKnot.com , but she doesn't expect the entire industry to switch over. "You just have to get over the size thing. You can't look at ... that number," she says. "Most of the time , the tailoring and alterations is what makes the dress gorgeous ." Brides expect that their gown will need to be altered. and many even figure in a line item for alterations when planning their budget, Murray says. (TheKnot.com recommends $500.) The bigger shock can come to bridesmaids, she says. who also are often subject to the unfamiliar sizing system. They probably dido 't think when they signed on for the job about the extra $100-$200 it will cost to have the dress fitted . Murray advises brides to encourage off-the-rack bridesmaids ' dresses, even if they're not designated "bridesmaids· dresses." " "You want the girls to be happy in what they"re wearing," she says. -;. .. rp, -·-·- OOPSA DAI5Y I ~ .. .....

Most policies mandate you add a spouse within a 30-day window after you've been married. Look at each policy closely to see which one is more financially beneficial, but also see which one might be better in the long run (i.e., if children will be added down the road). • Review other insurance policies as well: Oftentimes, it's cheaper to combine auto insurance policies instead of each spouse having one in their name.

Why? ln alterations. it 's much harder to make a gown bigger than it is to make it smaller. Designers have a couture mind-set on bridal gowns : They will be fitted to the individual bride's shape through alterations, explains Amsale Aberra, creative director for the high-end Amsale, Kenneth Pool and Christos lines. The size of the original gown is just a starting-off point. But, she acknowledges, the bride probably isn't thinking that far ahead - and the number on the tag can be a roadblock. It can "affect your confidence level. A wedding is when a bride · wants to be her thinnest," Aberra says . Moore agrees: "This has led to a lot of emotional trauma it's not what most retailers and manufacturers are going for." His company, for one, has abandoned both the old size scale and the practice of having one sample dress for all to try on . Part of the change was to make the process a little less confusing to brides. Moore says. David's Bridal surveyed thousands of them and found that the old sizing guidelines simply didn't resemble America's brides today. Not only have the numbers changed, but so have proportions and body types. A handful of other gownmakers also have gone to a "true-size system," says Kathleen Murray, deputy editor of TheKnot.com , but she doesn't expect the entire industry to switch over. "You just have to get over the size thing. You can't look at ... that number," she says. "Most of the time , the tailoring and alterations is what makes the dress gorgeous ." Brides expect that their gown will need to be altered. and many even figure in a line item for alterations when planning their budget, Murray says. (TheKnot.com recommends $500.) The bigger shock can come to bridesmaids, she says. who also are often subject to the unfamiliar sizing system. They probably dido 't think when they signed on for the job about the extra $100-$200 it will cost to have the dress fitted . Murray advises brides to encourage off-the-rack bridesmaids ' dresses, even if they're not designated "bridesmaids· dresses." " "You want the girls to be happy in what they"re wearing," she says. -;. .. rp, -·-·- OOPSA DAI5Y I ~ .. .....

See Page 81 BY CIIARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYOAILYSENTINELCOM POMEROY - The refinancing of part of the Meigs Local School District's debt on new school construction has now been completed and is expected to result in a minor reduction in taxes for district residents. Representatives of Robert W. Baird & Co ., of Columbus met Tuesday night with the Meigs Local Board of Education to review refunding on a ponion of the bonds sold in 2000 and the sale of new bonds at a lesser interest rate . It was reported that the transaction resulted in a reduction in the interest rate on bonds with dates beyond 2010 from 5.73 percent to 4:06 percent creating a gross savings of what is projected to be $312,000. The total amount of bonds refunded was $3,654,995, a ponion of the original principal amount of $5,726,000, according to the Baird representatives David J. Conle~. manajling director, and Dtane Chtme, financial anal~st. Mark Rhonemus. Meigs Local treasurer, who worked with the Baird rep- · resentatives on the project. compared the bond refunding proce ss to "someone refinancing their home" in order to get a reduction in imerest rate. Rhonemus explained that if property values stay the same and delinquency rates do not increase. then tax payers of the district could see a minor reduction. He estimated a savings district wide of approximately 24,000 a year. He further noted that the district can only collect enough taxes each year needed to pay the required amount on the bond retire · ment - which to date has averaged about $525,000 a year. Therefore since the district has now sold new bonds at a lower rate, it means that less tax dollars have to be collected to make the required payment toward the bond retirement .

The rumor has become so pervasive it came up at this week's session of Pomeroy Village Council and resulted in ODOT receiving a phone call from Mason, W.Va. Mayor Mindy Kearns about the situation. There is even an untrue rumor ·floating around that ODOT would be providing a ferry during the "so called" closure. "We have no intention of closing the bridge in March or any other plans .to close that bridge at this point in time," said Stephanie Filson, ODOT's public information officer for district 10. Filson went on to say if a structure as large as the Pomeroy-Mason Bridge, a heavily traveled route, were to close for an extended period of time the public would be notified through the media well in advance, not to mention public meetings would likely be held to discuss alternate routes. Filson said unless there was some unforeseen emergency that resulted in a temporary closure there is "no way" anyone would just arrive at the Pomeroy-Mason Bridge to find it "arbitrarily closed." The bridge was recently closed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., Jan. 31 - Feb. I to complete annual maintenance repairs. Filson said the repair' were not key to the structural integrity of the bridge in any way. "The main reason we even closed the bridge at that time was to ·protect work crews on the site," she added. Filson said in addition to the existing bridge's annual "in-depth" insr:ction, two years ago spec1al sensors to STAFf REPORT NEWS@M'iDAil'iSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - A onevehicle accident that killed a Meigs County man remains under investigation by the Gallia·Meigs Post of the State Highway Patrol.
