ESTATE iunba~ limtl·itntinel Duo says waiting three years for purchase orders, As Sunday, March 11, 200'7 r Why higher interest rates can be beneficial Zoning laws can dictate improvements (MS ) - The publk is yuick to point out the negattve repercussions of higher interest rates, most notably their impact on the housing market. However, in an e m when those looking to borrow and spend on the cheap once had all the advantages now those who have money on hand to save can reap rewards. Interest rates are higher than they have been in years. which means for those who are looking to sec their savings grow there are options out there that will yield better returns than the meager pickings once available . While interest-bearing savin!ls and checking accounts wtll ~enerally not help you rake m big bucks. there are other accounts that can make your investtnent go further. Certificates of Deposit: CDs traditionally offer better return rates than a regular bank savings account. Don't necessarily tum to your primary bank for a CD, however. You may be able to get a better rate if you shop around. Six-month and oneyear CDs are the most popular. but longer term CDs may allow you to lock in a higher rate or rates for years to · vis io ns or tra nsfo rmin g the ir new pl<t(e int o the ir o wn perso nal castle begi n to fo rm .

Many CDs also allow you to "roll over" your money into another account - some do this automatically. Be sure to watch CD maturation dates carefully as a result, especially if you are planning on withdrawing the cash. Money Market Accounts: Money market accounts are similar to regular savings accounts, except they may require a higher minimum balance. restrict the number of withdrawals and typically pay a higher interest rate for using your to look lor Much like buying a used car, buying a home can be a risky proposition. But unlike a vehicle, home buyers can't take a hou se out for a test drive. While there are professional home inspectors to detect some of the more hidden problems, there are also several things a home buyer should be able to detect on his own. When many home buyers first walk into a home, visions of what they'll do with the place soon form in their head s. Where to put furniture or what to do with certain rooms can be overwhelmingly eup horic feelings. Still, blocking out these thoughts is a must when making a home -buying decision. Rather. give an impartial eye to the house . Though you might love a home's hardwood floors. check to see if they' re level. Unlevel floors are indicative of structural problems, a big no-no when it comes to home buying. Also, if the doors stick or drag. thi s is another indication of possible structural damage. There are also signs to look for that will indicate how well the seller took care of the place. Cracks around windows and wear and tear that was not properly mai ntained are signs of poor upkeep. Electrical problems will not be as easy to observe for most potential home buyers. That does not mean , however, that you cannot keep your eye out for any potential electrical problems . If any wiring is exposed. for instance. alarm bells should go off, especially if you have chil dren. If there are any visibl.e electrical problems that are not listed o n the seller's statement. you might want to get the hou se out of you( mind. regardless of its aesthe tic value . Another easily detectible electrical area is in re gards to the outlets. Do' they feature two prong fi r>~ Whe n many peopk mo ve into a new home. money. If you have discreliomuy income that you can afford to have sit and make money, money market accounts l'Ould be a better option. Treasury Bills: Governmem-issued securities called treasury bills (or ·T-bills) are short-term investments. They may mature in 4, 13 or 26 weeks and olfer relatively high yields. What's more. T-bills offer the added benefit that the interest earned on the bill\ is exempt from state and local taxes. a law s The location of a house is important to keep in mind when considering a purchase. hole s or three'! Older homes may not be wired to accommodate hi g her amperage appliances and will need to be updated. Although you can co nvert two-pronged outlets to three with special outlet converters. you mig ht risk overloading the circuits and blowing a fuse or starting '1. fire. While there are an abundance of other electrical problems, these are the most easily detec table with the naked eye. It' s also a good idea to do some preliminary plumbing inspection on your walk-through. Many times simple plumbing issues can be overlooked by p~Hential home buyers .. as 1t s easy to assume runnmg water and basic plumbing functions are up to par. Howeve r. there are some indicators you can check for to give you a good idea of a home' s plumbjng. For instance, you can run more than one faucet at once to check water !low. If the llow decreases drastically as you turn on each new faucet. you 're probably going to need all new pipes. a job that can be expensive . Also. run the shower and/or tub at a normal speed for several minutes. This will te ll you if the ho use has drainage problems you might want to avoid. It shou ld also indicate whether o r not there are leaks around your fixtures . Check the piping. too, as mixed pipes with both metal a nd plastic are indi ca tiv e of amateur home repairs. which could be equated with neg lect and years of problems. Also look at the ce ilings loca tedbe low up stairs bathrooms. Have the ceilings been recently painted? Although this might mean the homeowner ha s been cleaning up for the sale. it cou ld also mean he's trying to cover up stains from past leaks. The same can be said for new floori ng in bathrooms or kitchens. Anything th at see ms dramatically. out of character with the rest of the ho use might be a sig n of a coverup. Another thing you .:an easi ly notice is the home's locati o n. If the home is situated at the bouom of a hill or the land arou nd is sloping downward in the d ire( ti on of the hou se, flooding might be a problem . T hi s can ne~ate any P,Ositive e ffects ol u basement and can also lead to extensive problems down the road. are de sig ned to reg ulate what a person can and t'tm 't do with the ir property when it comes to building. These govern building · iss ue s with respect to heig ht. use . bulk and density. Zoning regulations can change quite often, depending on how much vour l:'Ommunity is .:hanging and devel oping . Generally. thes e law s won't prohibit you from .making renovations that are consistent with your existing hmtse . For instance. if you live in a residential nei g hborhood and were hoping to add a bedroom onto your house. the tonang restrictions with regards to use shouldn't he a concern. However, if you intend to add a room onto your hou~e such as a shed or a deta.:hed garage. there could very well be existing laws thut prohibit sue h add-ons. Typi(ally, the zomng laws you 'll want to pay most aHenlion to are thos e addressing height and bulk. If you're hoping to raise the roof of your home and add upwards . this might be 1llegal. as it could negatively affect the property va lu e of your neighbors by making their homes seem less valuable . Should such laws exist but you st ill harbor the desire to build up. you can apply for a variance, which can be a costl y endeavor that may or may not work out .

He 'was among the luckiest. Most others were swallowed by instant flames. Another survivor, Nasir Sultan. a 38-year-old Transportation Ministry worker, said he watched people thrash helplessly in the prey.

''The trolley has to make a wide, slow tum. This is what you are seeing now. The superpower trolley beginning to tum in lrdq." Meanwhile. the U.S. military reponed three soldiers killed Sunday. One was l;illed by a roadside bomb southwest of the capital, while another died in combat and the third was killed in an unspecified "non-combat incident" in nonhero .Iraq, the military said. In the Salahuddin province northwest of Baghdad, Iraqiled forces backed by U.S. warplanes staged raids against suspected insurgent training bases. includins sites linked to anti-aircralt batteries, the U.S. military said. At least seven suspected insurgents were reponed killed. PLAY COVERALL BINGO a Police and hospital officials said at least 32 people died and 24 were injured. "I blame the government," said Moussawi. "They didn't provide a safe route for us even though they knew we were targets for attack." In the Jl'!St two years, the Shiite m1litia Mahili Army provided security for the pilgrimage - marking the end of 40 days mourning for the 7th century battlefield death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson. Shiites consider him the rightful heir of Islam's leadership, which help cement the rift with Sunni Muslims. This year, however, the Mahdi militiamen has been sent to the wings under a deal between its leader. radical cleric Muqtada ai-Sadr. and the government to ease the way for the Baghdad · security sweeps. The pact haS apparently led to a decrease in execution-style slayings blamed on Shiite death squads. It also made the pilgrims easier "No country will be immune from Iraq's failure and the consequences that they will suffer," he told CNN. A senior member of Iraq's biggest Shiite political bloc - which maintains very close ties to Iran - applauded the interaction bet ween Iran and the United States. "We hope that this conference would represent a good stan to establish a kind of understanding between American and Iran regarding the accusations and counteraccusations about Iraq," said Humman Hamoudi. who heads the group's external affairs committee. But, say so!lle analysts, any changes in relations will be likely a slow evolution. "The superpower is like a trolley bus and not like a car. A car can tum around on a narrow road." said !mad U.S. -led forces from Iraq , and the U.S. delegation reassened claims that Shiite militia receive weapons and aid from Iranian sources. But the gathering also ended with both sides leaving open the possibility of (unher contacts to discuss Iraq - where they share interests as Baghdad's top allies. The U.S. and Iranian statements were carefully framed in cautious diplomatic language, but they were seen by some possibly significant steps toward easing . their nearly 28-year-old diplomatic freeze. Iraq's foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, called the conference "an icebreaking attempt to provide an atmosphere for some discussions." Zebari also repeated the fears that )raq could be the breeding ground for a wider Mideast meltdown.

"Sally " is a wonderful person and a good hou seguest. except for one thing. The woman will not wash her hands. She lakes a very quick shower in the morning, but for the rest of the day, her hands never see soap again. When she uses the bathroom, the most s he will do is rinse the tips of her fingers for about three second~. After a day of shopping and then dinner, she won't wash her hands. I've seen Sally eat greasy burgers and pizza, and she will still come home, use the bathroom and go to bed. I've offered her antibacterial wipes, but she refuses. I know this sounds pretty mean. but I don't want someone in my kitchen handling food and putting ice in drinks when her hands aren't clean . My doorknobs are actually slick from her dirty fingers. I'm sorry, but I am just disgusted with this lack of hygiene. What should I do? After she leaves. I have to wipe down every surface she's touched. I don't want her germs all over my house and dishes. Help. Disgusted in Peoria, Ill. Dear Peoria: This isn't just disgusting, it's an infection waiting to happen. We assume you want to continue inviting Sally to your home, so you need to be more direct. Tell her that thoroughly washing one's hands with soap and water is the single most effective way to prevent colds and other viruses. Ask that she wash before preparing food or putting tee in your drink, and remind her. If she still refuses, give her di sinfectant and paper towel s and ask her to wipe down every surface she touches, or you'll be happy to reserve a room at a hotel for her. Enough already.

A good education does not preclude someone being an ignorant boor.

Dear Annie: I'm responding to the letter from "Mrs. Robin so n's ·Husband," who wrote that his son's 22-year-old friend was smitten with his wife. Your advice was a little too gentle. The young man was more than smitten. He had proposi. tioned the wife. But then, the couple "just laughed it off" giving the, g uy permission to keep trying. The couple needs to firmly , but kindly, con · front the young man (when he 's sober) aboul his unacceptable and unwelcome behavior. They need to do I hi' together. because this i.s not only a transgression against the wife . There also need lo be immediale consequences.

''The trolley has to make a wide, slow tum. This is what you are seeing now. The superpower trolley beginning to tum in lrdq." Meanwhile. the U.S. military reponed three soldiers killed Sunday. One was l;illed by a roadside bomb southwest of the capital, while another died in combat and the third was killed in an unspecified "non-combat incident" in nonhero .Iraq, the military said. In the Salahuddin province northwest of Baghdad, Iraqiled forces backed by U.S. warplanes staged raids against suspected insurgent training bases. includins sites linked to anti-aircralt batteries, the U.S. military said. At least seven suspected insurgents were reponed killed. PLAY COVERALL BINGO a Police and hospital officials said at least 32 people died and 24 were injured. "I blame the government," said Moussawi. "They didn't provide a safe route for us even though they knew we were targets for attack." In the Jl'!St two years, the Shiite m1litia Mahili Army provided security for the pilgrimage - marking the end of 40 days mourning for the 7th century battlefield death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson. Shiites consider him the rightful heir of Islam's leadership, which help cement the rift with Sunni Muslims. This year, however, the Mahdi militiamen has been sent to the wings under a deal between its leader. radical cleric Muqtada ai-Sadr. and the government to ease the way for the Baghdad · security sweeps. The pact haS apparently led to a decrease in execution-style slayings blamed on Shiite death squads. It also made the pilgrims easier "No country will be immune from Iraq's failure and the consequences that they will suffer," he told CNN. A senior member of Iraq's biggest Shiite political bloc - which maintains very close ties to Iran - applauded the interaction bet ween Iran and the United States. "We hope that this conference would represent a good stan to establish a kind of understanding between American and Iran regarding the accusations and counteraccusations about Iraq," said Humman Hamoudi. who heads the group's external affairs committee. But, say so!lle analysts, any changes in relations will be likely a slow evolution. "The superpower is like a trolley bus and not like a car. A car can tum around on a narrow road." said !mad U.S. -led forces from Iraq , and the U.S. delegation reassened claims that Shiite militia receive weapons and aid from Iranian sources. But the gathering also ended with both sides leaving open the possibility of (unher contacts to discuss Iraq - where they share interests as Baghdad's top allies. The U.S. and Iranian statements were carefully framed in cautious diplomatic language, but they were seen by some possibly significant steps toward easing . their nearly 28-year-old diplomatic freeze. Iraq's foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, called the conference "an icebreaking attempt to provide an atmosphere for some discussions." Zebari also repeated the fears that )raq could be the breeding ground for a wider Mideast meltdown.

"Sally " is a wonderful person and a good hou seguest. except for one thing. The woman will not wash her hands. She lakes a very quick shower in the morning, but for the rest of the day, her hands never see soap again. When she uses the bathroom, the most s he will do is rinse the tips of her fingers for about three second~. After a day of shopping and then dinner, she won't wash her hands. I've seen Sally eat greasy burgers and pizza, and she will still come home, use the bathroom and go to bed. I've offered her antibacterial wipes, but she refuses. I know this sounds pretty mean. but I don't want someone in my kitchen handling food and putting ice in drinks when her hands aren't clean . My doorknobs are actually slick from her dirty fingers. I'm sorry, but I am just disgusted with this lack of hygiene. What should I do? After she leaves. I have to wipe down every surface she's touched. I don't want her germs all over my house and dishes. Help. Disgusted in Peoria, Ill. Dear Peoria: This isn't just disgusting, it's an infection waiting to happen. We assume you want to continue inviting Sally to your home, so you need to be more direct. Tell her that thoroughly washing one's hands with soap and water is the single most effective way to prevent colds and other viruses. Ask that she wash before preparing food or putting tee in your drink, and remind her. If she still refuses, give her di sinfectant and paper towel s and ask her to wipe down every surface she touches, or you'll be happy to reserve a room at a hotel for her. Enough already.

A good education does not preclude someone being an ignorant boor. In case anyone else out there doesn't know better, a funeral is a solemn occasion and not an appropriate place to hand out party invitations of any kind. Dear Annie: I'm responding to the letter from "Mrs. Robin so n's ·Husband," who wrote that his son's 22-year-old friend was smitten with his wife. Your advice was a little too gentle. The young man was more than smitten. He had proposi. tioned the wife. But then, the couple "just laughed it off" giving the, g uy permission to keep trying. The couple needs to firmly , but kindly, con · front the young man (when he 's sober) aboul his unacceptable and unwelcome behavior.

Without it - without its fanatics who believe all civilizations are the same the engine that projects Islam into the unprotected heart of Western civilization would stall and fail. It's as simple as that. To live among the believers - the mulliculturalists - is to watch the assault, the jihad, take place un -repulsed by our suicidal societies. These societies are not doomed to submit: rather. they are eager to do so in the name of a masochistic brand of tolerance that, short of drastic measures, is surely terminal. I'm not talking about our soldiers, policemen, rescue workers and. now, even train conductors, who bravely and steadfastly risk their lives for civilization abroad and at home. Instead, I'm thinking about who we are as a society at this somewhat advanced stage of war. It is a strange, tentative civilization we have become, with leaders who strut their promises of "no surrender" even as they flinch at identifying the foe. Four years past 9/11. we continue to shadow-box "terror," even as we go on about "an ideology of hate." It's a script that smacks of sci-fi fantasy more than realpolitik. But our grim reality is no summer blockbuster, and there's no special-effects-enhanced plot Diana Weat twist that is going to thwart "terror" or "hate" in the London Underground anymore than it did on the roof of the World Trade Center.

These, and an array of high-tech scopes and scanners designed to identify retinas and fingerprints. to detect explosives and metals - ultimately. I presume, as we whisk through the automatic supermarket door. How strange, though, that even as we devise new ways to see inside ourselves to our most elemental components, ·. we also prevent ourselves from looking full-face at the danger to our way of life posed by Islam.

Three years ago two women in a tiny northeast Ohio village asked to look at village purchase orders to learn if taxpayers are getting their money's worth. Julie Kelley and Judy Moyer say they are still waiting for many of the records, a charge officials deny. They have sued the village of Mogadore, which in Ohio is the only avenue for those who believe public bodies have not satisfied their public records requests. Ohio is one of 13 states where a civil lawsuit is the only recourse . In other states, public bodies can be charged with a criminal offense. Last year the state revamped its public records law, requiring ·more training of government employees in responding to records requests. No trial date has been set in the Mogadore suit ftled in Summit County Common Pleas Cour1, which seeks release of all the records. The two women and the village of 4,200 have been trying to reach a settlement. Moyer and Kelley, whom their attorney describes as government watchdogs, had asked to see 8.356 pages of records under state public records law that say governments must release most records in a "reasonable" period of time. Some documents, such as ·personnel records or business ftlings that could benelit a company's competitor, are exempt.

Golf kickoff S'COOTER t.l68'(' PIC.K CHENE'( BY RACHEL BECK AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK D.H. Honon Inc.'s CEO Donald J. Tomnitz said what most others in the housing business wouldn't when he proclaimed on Wednesday that 2007 "is going to suck, all 12 months of the calendar year." His blunt assessment contrasted with much of the spin that has been coming from lenders, realtors, trade groups, horne builders and others in recent months. There haven't been many straight shooters discussing the housing and rnongage market collapse. That's why Tomnitz's quote resonated throughout the financial world. Plain and simple, he told it like it is, at least from his point of view. In his presentation to an investor conference, Tomnitz said new home prices will continue to decline this year as builders try to sell the glut of houses currently available. His ftrm is unlikely to get more pricin~ power until 2008, he satd. Horton, the nation's largest homebUilder by the number of homes sold. is currently building 26,000 houses, down 35 percent from its. peak of 40,000. Tomnitz said that further · CVIS are col)ling. The Fort Wonh, Texasbased company's fourthquarter earnings plunged by almost two-thirds from a. year earlier to $109.7 million, and a profit retreat of similar size is expected in the ftrst quarter as well. '· His sugarless comments stood out because others haven't been so for1hcoming. That doesn't mean there hasn't been talk of the housing or mortgage business going south, but little has been so direct and to the point. Bloggers have been quick to pounce on the' Nauonal Association of Realtors for spinning its assessment of housing conditions. For instance, last summer NAR chief economist David Lereab said that new home sales were "stabilizing." But that turned out to be untrue, a result of the trade group relying too heavily on economic data and underestimating how psychological factors were affecting home purchasing. said NAR spokesman Walter Molony. It still hasn't perfected its game. This week. blo~er Debi Averett of Phoeruxbased HousingDoom.com, noted that the NAR 's pending home sales report says that the·data should be compar~d on a year-over-year basis, not month to month. But the ftrst number that the NAR pl11ys up is the Sales Pending Home Index's 4.1 percent decline in January from the month ~fore. It .then says the mdex was down 8.9 percent from a year ago. The NAR also highlighted that the January re~na highest since last August and "more imponantly" there has been a narrowing trend from year-ago levels since last July.

Economist Nouriel Roubini says some banks rnight be downpiaying their involvement in loans to individuals with shaky credit. He believes that many banks engaged in "highly cosmetic accounting" in how they actually defined subprime candidates meaning that they gave loans to individuals with credit scores that were technically subprime, but didn't count them as such. Therefore. their expos\lre for now seems limited. Roubini, a professor of economics at New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business and chairman of the consuiting firm Roubini Global · Economics. That's something to consider when listening to what Countrywide Financial Corp.'s CFO had to say this week. He discussed on Tuesday why its lending business - which includes about 9 percent in subprime loans - has lasting power compared with others that just focused on loans to individuals with shaky cred· tl. "W • d e re a top-conditione athlete," Countrywide CFO Eric Sieracki said at an investor conference. But the Calabasas, Calif.based company isn't entirely protected either. According to a recent securities ftling, 19 percent of its subprime mortgage loans were late in 2006. That's up from 15.2 percent at the end of 2005 and 11 .3 percent at the end of 2004. The mongage lender also said tllat payments were at least 30 days late on 2.93 percent of the prime homeequity loans it services, up from 1.57 percent a year ago and 0.8 percent in 2004.

MAHONEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS - The Rev. Lori Lossie believes in the adage that if you build it, they will come. Lossie the United Methodists' newly appointed regional consultant for church planting - is convinced ·that the West Ohio Conference's steady decline in numbers can't be slowed without investing in new churches. "I think our denomination has gone through some different phases, and I think that church planting was much more Significant 40,. 50 years ago," she said. "And something in the culture changed. And we've begun a decline because we haven't kept up with the changing culture." Lossie will oversee the conference's effort to have healthy congregations do two things: start ministries and worship services at other locations (known as satellites) or take the lead in creating entirely new churches. Using vibrant churches as the . starting point for such efforts differs from the strat- days . Doctors hope to remove the breathing assistance in the coming days. "He's made a miraculous recovery." Rob Berta said. "I would like to thank everybody who's been praying for our son." Doctors have removed a suction apparatus from Tim Berta's brain and staples from his chest and stomach, his father said. and are "trying to wake him up" off sedation.

They first asked for the purchase order for a $54,000 real estate transaction and the village didn't produce it, said Jacquenette Corgan. one of their attorneys. · She said about 1,900 of the requested documents have not been released. . "My clients have no idea where some of the money has gone," Corgan said. The pair said many of the records the village has turned over are computer printouts - not copies of the originals - and that they don't trust the accuracy of the sheets. The village has given them all of the records they have requested, said Mogadore law director Lawrence Bach. Bach says the computer printouts are the purchase orders because the orders were made elecc Ironically. Mogadore gets a steady stream of records requests and has just two full-time employees who try to fill them promptly, Bach said . "As soon as they get them, they try to respond to them as soon as possible," he said. Timothy Smith, director of the Ohio Center for Privacy and the First Amendment at Kent State University. who has worked on the Mogadore case, said few people go to court to obtain records. . The Ohio Supreme Court usually sides with those seeking records. said David Marburger, an attorney who often represents newspapers in records cases. """""' Judy Moyer stands outside the Mogadore Municipal Building Tuesday, in Mogadore. Three years ago two women in a tiny northeast Ohio village asked to look at village purchase orders to learn if taxpayers are getting their money"s worth. Moyer and Julie Ketley say they are still waiting for many of the records, a charge officials deny. They have sued the vi~ lage of Mogadore. which in Oh10 is the only avenue for those who believe public bodies have not satisfied their public records requests. Corgan said the village should be liable under a state law that requires public bodies to pay $1,000 for each eligible requested record they do not tum over. Last year the Supreme Court ruled that an $860,000 fine was legal against Akron for destroying time sheets that documented the overtime of two secretaries . The decision said that the 860 time sheets were each an individual document under the state's open records law and not part of a bigger record. It was the largest fine ever awarded under state law dealing with destruction of records. Kelley and Moyer are not strangers to village officials. although this is their ftrst lawsuit. Bach said. He would not comment on what other issues they have mken before the village. '"They have accused the village otTicials of denying them their . constitutional right," Bach said of the previous disputes. Corgan said the women are not prone to hassling village ofticials. "They did not do this lightly." she said. Denomination hopes vibrant churches seed growth Dad: Player injured in Ga. bus wreck making 'miraculous recovery' ATLANTA (AP) - A player injured when a charter bus carrying his college baseball team plunged off a highway ramp remains hospitalized but is making a " miraculous recovery," his father said Sunday. Four players from northwest Ohio's Bluffton University. \he bus driver and the driver's wife were killed when the bus plowed off an overpass March 2 in Atlanta and crashed onto The Daily Sentinel • Pqe As www.mydailysentinel.com egy of "parachute drops," in which a clergy person is sent out to start a church in a selected area. Statistics show that only about 10 percent of parachute-droP. churches succeed, whtle those founded by established congregations survive nearly 90 percent of the time. The West Ohio based in Conference, Columbus, has seen its membership decline nearly 50 percent since the early 1970s. Conferencewide attendance, however, has been at about 140,000 for more than 10 years, said the Rev. Joyce Fry. assistant to Bishop Bruce Ough. During that time, nearly 70 churches have closed, but attendance has remained steady thanks to church starts, growth in existing churches and some congregational mergers, she said. Lossie has experienced church starts as pastor of Warehouse 839, a satellite of Hilliard United Methodist Church. Warehouse 839, started in 2004 in a former grocery store owned by the church, has two services and anracts about 300 adults and <;hil· dren on Sundays. The music is ~ontemporary, the dress casual and the coffee free. The congregation gets its name from Romans 8:39, in which Paul says nothing "can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ." The services 'draw people mostly in their 30s and 40s. Many have been away from church for some time or have never attended. · Lossie said. That kind of' crowd gives the church energy, she said. "The excitement is really high because you can imagine when you flfSt came to know Jesus Christ ... and how you just wanted to con- RIVERVIEW Chiropractic Center Dr. Grqory L.

Joni Averion of Hilliard, a lifelong United Methodist, began attending Warehouse . 839 last year. She said it reminds her of a small, rural church she used to anend. "I like the closeness of this," she said. "I like the relaxed nature of this." Averion said she and her husband, Michael, some· times attend the traditional service at Hilliard United Methodist next door. She said offering both kinds of worship is important to United Methodism. "We are one body." she said. "But a body is made up of many different parts. We can't all be ears, hands or f~t. So each part has to have its needs met." Ough first outlined the goal of starting new churches on a regular basis in 2001, shonly after coming to the conference. He said population shifts have left West Ohio with a host of churches in sparsely settled areas. For instance, Ough said, 80 percent of people younger than, 25 live m the conterehce s four metro areas (Columbus, Cincinnati. Dayton and Toledo), but 80 percent of its churches are in rural loca- . tions. About 3 million churchless people live within the 58-county conference, the bishop said. Some are reluctant to begin altending an established church. but they might consider a new congregation, where they can help mold its identity. "This is not something you have to be adopted into," he said. "This is some- thing you get to help create. And that's a huge plus when trying to reach folks.''. Ough said that in addition to planting new churches and satellites, congregations have started 100 to 150 new services in recent years to attract certain groups of people. As membership has declined, worship figures so far this year are showing an increase. Ough believes that membership numbers are more a mea;ure of past success in attracting people. "Worship attendance tends to reflect a church's current ability to attract peo~;~le," Ough said. "And bapnsms and professions of faith (confirmation) tend to foreshadow what the futur6 will look like for the denomination." , George Howard, conference director of connectional ministries. said population shifts are a key element of deciding where new churches should be.

Without it - without its fanatics who believe all civilizations are the same the engine that projects Islam into the unprotected heart of Western civilization would stall and fail. It's as simple as that. To live among the believers - the mulliculturalists - is to watch the assault, the jihad, take place un -repulsed by our suicidal societies. These societies are not doomed to submit: rather. they are eager to do so in the name of a masochistic brand of tolerance that, short of drastic measures, is surely terminal. I'm not talking about our soldiers, policemen, rescue workers and. now, even train conductors, who bravely and steadfastly risk their lives for civilization abroad and at home. Instead, I'm thinking about who we are as a society at this somewhat advanced stage of war. It is a strange, tentative civilization we have become, with leaders who strut their promises of "no surrender" even as they flinch at identifying the foe. Four years past 9/11. we continue to shadow-box "terror," even as we go on about "an ideology of hate." It's a script that smacks of sci-fi fantasy more than realpolitik. But our grim reality is no summer blockbuster, and there's no special-effects-enhanced plot Diana Weat twist that is going to thwart "terror" or "hate" in the London Underground anymore than it did on the roof of the World Trade Center. Or in the Bali nightclub. Or on the first day of school in Beslan. Or in any disco. city bus or shopping mall in Israel. Body bags, burn masks and prosthetics are no better protections than makebelieve. But these are our weapons. according to the powers that be. These, and an array of high-tech scopes and scanners designed to identify retinas and fingerprints. to detect explosives and metals - ultimately. I presume, as we whisk through the automatic supermarket door. How strange, though, that even as we devise new ways to see inside ourselves to our most elemental components, ·. we also prevent ourselves from looking full-face at the danger to our way of life posed by Islam. Notice I didn't say "lslami sts." Or "lslamofascists." Or "fundamentalist extremists."

Three years ago two women in a tiny northeast Ohio village asked to look at village purchase orders to learn if taxpayers are getting their money's worth. Julie Kelley and Judy Moyer say they are still waiting for many of the records, a charge officials deny. They have sued the village of Mogadore, which in Ohio is the only avenue for those who believe public bodies have not satisfied their public records requests. Ohio is one of 13 states where a civil lawsuit is the only recourse . In other states, public bodies can be charged with a criminal offense. Last year the state revamped its public records law, requiring ·more training of government employees in responding to records requests. No trial date has been set in the Mogadore suit ftled in Summit County Common Pleas Cour1, which seeks release of all the records. The two women and the village of 4,200 have been trying to reach a settlement. Moyer and Kelley, whom their attorney describes as government watchdogs, had asked to see 8.356 pages of records under state public records law that say governments must release most records in a "reasonable" period of time. Some documents, such as ·personnel records or business ftlings that could benelit a company's competitor, are exempt.

Golf kickoff S'COOTER t.l68'(' PIC.K CHENE'( BY RACHEL BECK AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK D.H. Honon Inc.'s CEO Donald J. Tomnitz said what most others in the housing business wouldn't when he proclaimed on Wednesday that 2007 "is going to suck, all 12 months of the calendar year." His blunt assessment contrasted with much of the spin that has been coming from lenders, realtors, trade groups, horne builders and others in recent months. There haven't been many straight shooters discussing the housing and rnongage market collapse. That's why Tomnitz's quote resonated throughout the financial world. Plain and simple, he told it like it is, at least from his point of view. In his presentation to an investor conference, Tomnitz said new home prices will continue to decline this year as builders try to sell the glut of houses currently available. His ftrm is unlikely to get more pricin~ power until 2008, he satd. Horton, the nation's largest homebUilder by the number of homes sold. is currently building 26,000 houses, down 35 percent from its. peak of 40,000. Tomnitz said that further · CVIS are col)ling. The Fort Wonh, Texasbased company's fourthquarter earnings plunged by almost two-thirds from a. year earlier to $109.7 million, and a profit retreat of similar size is expected in the ftrst quarter as well. '· His sugarless comments stood out because others haven't been so for1hcoming. That doesn't mean there hasn't been talk of the housing or mortgage business going south, but little has been so direct and to the point. Bloggers have been quick to pounce on the' Nauonal Association of Realtors for spinning its assessment of housing conditions. For instance, last summer NAR chief economist David Lereab said that new home sales were "stabilizing." But that turned out to be untrue, a result of the trade group relying too heavily on economic data and underestimating how psychological factors were affecting home purchasing. said NAR spokesman Walter Molony. It still hasn't perfected its game. This week. blo~er Debi Averett of Phoeruxbased HousingDoom.com, noted that the NAR 's pending home sales report says that the·data should be compar~d on a year-over-year basis, not month to month. But the ftrst number that the NAR pl11ys up is the Sales Pending Home Index's 4.1 percent decline in January from the month ~fore. It .then says the mdex was down 8.9 percent from a year ago. The NAR also highlighted that the January re~na highest since last August and "more imponantly" there has been a narrowing trend from year-ago levels since last July.

Economist Nouriel Roubini says some banks rnight be downpiaying their involvement in loans to individuals with shaky credit. He believes that many banks engaged in "highly cosmetic accounting" in how they actually defined subprime candidates meaning that they gave loans to individuals with credit scores that were technically subprime, but didn't count them as such. Therefore. their expos\lre for now seems limited. Roubini, a professor of economics at New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business and chairman of the consuiting firm Roubini Global · Economics. That's something to consider when listening to what Countrywide Financial Corp.'s CFO had to say this week. He discussed on Tuesday why its lending business - which includes about 9 percent in subprime loans - has lasting power compared with others that just focused on loans to individuals with shaky cred· tl. "W • d e re a top-conditione athlete," Countrywide CFO Eric Sieracki said at an investor conference. But the Calabasas, Calif.based company isn't entirely protected either. According to a recent securities ftling, 19 percent of its subprime mortgage loans were late in 2006. That's up from 15.2 percent at the end of 2005 and 11 .3 percent at the end of 2004. The mongage lender also said tllat payments were at least 30 days late on 2.93 percent of the prime homeequity loans it services, up from 1.57 percent a year ago and 0.8 percent in 2004.

MAHONEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS - The Rev. Lori Lossie believes in the adage that if you build it, they will come. Lossie the United Methodists' newly appointed regional consultant for church planting - is convinced ·that the West Ohio Conference's steady decline in numbers can't be slowed without investing in new churches. "I think our denomination has gone through some different phases, and I think that church planting was much more Significant 40,. 50 years ago," she said. "And something in the culture changed. And we've begun a decline because we haven't kept up with the changing culture." Lossie will oversee the conference's effort to have healthy congregations do two things: start ministries and worship services at other locations (known as satellites) or take the lead in creating entirely new churches. Using vibrant churches as the . starting point for such efforts differs from the strat- days . Doctors hope to remove the breathing assistance in the coming days. "He's made a miraculous recovery." Rob Berta said. "I would like to thank everybody who's been praying for our son." Doctors have removed a suction apparatus from Tim Berta's brain and staples from his chest and stomach, his father said. and are "trying to wake him up" off sedation.

They first asked for the purchase order for a $54,000 real estate transaction and the village didn't produce it, said Jacquenette Corgan. one of their attorneys. · She said about 1,900 of the requested documents have not been released. . "My clients have no idea where some of the money has gone," Corgan said. The pair said many of the records the village has turned over are computer printouts - not copies of the originals - and that they don't trust the accuracy of the sheets. The village has given them all of the records they have requested, said Mogadore law director Lawrence Bach. Bach says the computer printouts are the purchase orders because the orders were made elecc Ironically. Mogadore gets a steady stream of records requests and has just two full-time employees who try to fill them promptly, Bach said . "As soon as they get them, they try to respond to them as soon as possible," he said. Timothy Smith, director of the Ohio Center for Privacy and the First Amendment at Kent State University. who has worked on the Mogadore case, said few people go to court to obtain records. . The Ohio Supreme Court usually sides with those seeking records. said David Marburger, an attorney who often represents newspapers in records cases. """""' Judy Moyer stands outside the Mogadore Municipal Building Tuesday, in Mogadore. Three years ago two women in a tiny northeast Ohio village asked to look at village purchase orders to learn if taxpayers are getting their money"s worth. Moyer and Julie Ketley say they are still waiting for many of the records, a charge officials deny. They have sued the vi~ lage of Mogadore. which in Oh10 is the only avenue for those who believe public bodies have not satisfied their public records requests. Corgan said the village should be liable under a state law that requires public bodies to pay $1,000 for each eligible requested record they do not tum over. Last year the Supreme Court ruled that an $860,000 fine was legal against Akron for destroying time sheets that documented the overtime of two secretaries . The decision said that the 860 time sheets were each an individual document under the state's open records law and not part of a bigger record. It was the largest fine ever awarded under state law dealing with destruction of records. Kelley and Moyer are not strangers to village officials. although this is their ftrst lawsuit. Bach said. He would not comment on what other issues they have mken before the village. '"They have accused the village otTicials of denying them their . constitutional right," Bach said of the previous disputes. Corgan said the women are not prone to hassling village ofticials. "They did not do this lightly." she said. Denomination hopes vibrant churches seed growth Dad: Player injured in Ga. bus wreck making 'miraculous recovery' ATLANTA (AP) - A player injured when a charter bus carrying his college baseball team plunged off a highway ramp remains hospitalized but is making a " miraculous recovery," his father said Sunday. Four players from northwest Ohio's Bluffton University. \he bus driver and the driver's wife were killed when the bus plowed off an overpass March 2 in Atlanta and crashed onto The Daily Sentinel • Pqe As www.mydailysentinel.com egy of "parachute drops," in which a clergy person is sent out to start a church in a selected area. Statistics show that only about 10 percent of parachute-droP. churches succeed, whtle those founded by established congregations survive nearly 90 percent of the time. The West Ohio based in Conference, Columbus, has seen its membership decline nearly 50 percent since the early 1970s. Conferencewide attendance, however, has been at about 140,000 for more than 10 years, said the Rev. Joyce Fry. assistant to Bishop Bruce Ough. During that time, nearly 70 churches have closed, but attendance has remained steady thanks to church starts, growth in existing churches and some congregational mergers, she said. Lossie has experienced church starts as pastor of Warehouse 839, a satellite of Hilliard United Methodist Church. Warehouse 839, started in 2004 in a former grocery store owned by the church, has two services and anracts about 300 adults and <;hil· dren on Sundays. The music is ~ontemporary, the dress casual and the coffee free. The congregation gets its name from Romans 8:39, in which Paul says nothing "can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ." The services 'draw people mostly in their 30s and 40s. Many have been away from church for some time or have never attended. · Lossie said. That kind of' crowd gives the church energy, she said. "The excitement is really high because you can imagine when you flfSt came to know Jesus Christ ... and how you just wanted to con- RIVERVIEW Chiropractic Center Dr. Grqory L. Pitrwl IX: ('lliropn<tir ..yoiriluo • lnsul'llnce • Auto Accidents • Wolken Colllp • llecllcaid (WV & OH) •lleclicere quer the whole world. That's how it feels," Lossie said. Joni Averion of Hilliard, a lifelong United Methodist, began attending Warehouse . 839 last year. She said it reminds her of a small, rural church she used to anend. "I like the closeness of this," she said. "I like the relaxed nature of this." Averion said she and her husband, Michael, some· times attend the traditional service at Hilliard United Methodist next door. She said offering both kinds of worship is important to United Methodism. "We are one body." she said. "But a body is made up of many different parts. We can't all be ears, hands or f~t. So each part has to have its needs met." Ough first outlined the goal of starting new churches on a regular basis in 2001, shonly after coming to the conference. He said population shifts have left West Ohio with a host of churches in sparsely settled areas. For instance, Ough said, 80 percent of people younger than, 25 live m the conterehce s four metro areas (Columbus, Cincinnati. Dayton and Toledo), but 80 percent of its churches are in rural loca- . tions. About 3 million churchless people live within the 58-county conference, the bishop said. Some are reluctant to begin altending an established church. but they might consider a new congregation, where they can help mold its identity. "This is not something you have to be adopted into," he said. "This is some- thing you get to help create. And that's a huge plus when trying to reach folks.''. Ough said that in addition to planting new churches and satellites, congregations have started 100 to 150 new services in recent years to attract certain groups of people. As membership has declined, worship figures so far this year are showing an increase. Ough believes that membership numbers are more a mea;ure of past success in attracting people. "Worship attendance tends to reflect a church's current ability to attract peo~;~le," Ough said. "And bapnsms and professions of faith (confirmation) tend to foreshadow what the futur6 will look like for the denomination." , George Howard, conference director of connectional ministries. said population shifts are a key element of deciding where new churches should be.

Cotterill Ad . 2 miles out of Harrisonvi lle on hard lop road , (740)992-7681 Big Ten from PageBl Oden wasn't at his best, but Mike Conley and Ron Lewis compensated as the Buckeyes beat No. 3 Wisconsin 66-49 to win their second conference tournament title. Conley scored 18 points, Lewis added 17 and now, Ohio State can focus on the big prize. The Buckeyes have the No. I seed in the South regional -and will face Central Connecticut State on Thursday in Lexington, Ky. Wisconsin got the second seed in the 'Midwest and a matchup with Texas A&M· Co!pUS Christi .on Friday at the United Center. "We're really looking for· wlll'd to gcttmg ~own to Lexington because 1t's pretty · close to home," Conley said. "It's going to be an exciting time," Oden said. "I' m ready for it." Besides having to cram for Cential Connecticut, Oden has finals in sociolop and the history of rock 'n roll this week. Althougl) they didn't earn an A, the Buckeyes passed a big test on Sunday. Oden finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks after playing just six minutes in the ,tirst half breakaway dunk after catching a long ~ from Conley. That made 1t 57-45. "They have a lot of athletes on that team, and the,Y like to ge_t ur. and <!own,' Taylor srud. 'I think the first two times that we played them. we kind of controlled that, and we let it get away from us. Today, we allowed them to get out and get on a break, and it caught up with us." · The Badgers were unable to sustain a nm. Down 34-23 early in the second half, Wisconsin scored six straight. Taylor's pull-up jumper drew a loud reaction from the large con.tingent of Badgers fans, and the volume increased when Marcus Landry dunked in transition to cut it to 34-29. Ohio State called time, and the Wisconsin faithful chant· ed, "Let's go red!" Instead, they stalled. There were no late runs, no theatrics, unlike the first two meetings between these teams. Wisconsin hung on for a 72-69 victory Jan. 9 in Madison as Butler missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer. The Buckeyes returned the favor Feb. 25 in Columbus, winning on Conley's runner in the lane with 4 seconds left to clinch their second straight regular-season cpnference IItle. This time, Wisconsin was fortunate to stay within striking range until the latter stages.

Tony Stewan, the most vocal critic of the track and the tires, finished seventh. He was followed by Ryan Newman, Las Vegas native Kyle Busch and Jamie McMurray. Dale Earnhardt Jr. wound up a disappointing II th after a mental error cost him a toplive finish. He was in fifth when Kasey Kahne 's wreck brought out the final caution, and didn't notice that pit road was closed when he mistakenly followed Jeff Burton down it. "I followed the 31.

He picked up two spots in the fmishing order and 12 in the points he's now 28th overall. Even without the mistake. Earnhardt wouldn't . have challenged the Hendrick tandem of Johnson and Gordon, who had the field covered for most of the race. But it was Johnson who wound up in Victory Lane. even after a tire rolled loose on pit road earlier in the race. The penalty dropped Johnson to 25th, but he wasted little time moving back to the front.

Conley had eight assists and six rebound~. and Lewis was 6for-12 from the field. Meanwhile, Buckeyes fans serenaded Oden with a "One more yearl" chant during the postgame ceremony, but the teen phenom said he hasn't "even thought about" whether he will return for another year of college basketball. Big Ten player of the year Alando Tucker missed his first sill shots for Wisconsin and finished with 10 points. He was 4-of-13 from the field. Kammron Taylor scored 15 points but was just 6-for-18. The Badgers (29-5) never found their range, going 21-for-57 overall and 4-for-23 on 3-pointers. They also committed 17 turnovers. The Buckeyes and Badgers split two nail-biters during the regular season, but this time the drama ended with about6 112 minutes remaining. With the score 48-40.

"They have a lot of athletes on that team, and the,Y like to ge_t ur. and <!own,' Taylor srud. 'I think the first two times that we played them. we kind of controlled that, and we let it get away from us. Today, we allowed them to get out and get on a break, and it caught up with us." · The Badgers were unable to sustain a nm. Down 34-23 early in the second half, Wisconsin scored six straight. Taylor's pull-up jumper drew a loud reaction from the large con.tingent of Badgers fans, and the volume increased when Marcus Landry dunked in transition to cut it to 34-29. Ohio State called time, and the Wisconsin faithful chant· ed, "Let's go red!" Instead, they stalled. There were no late runs, no theatrics, unlike the first two meetings between these teams. Wisconsin hung on for a 72-69 victory Jan. 9 in Madison as Butler missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer. The Buckeyes returned the favor Feb. 25 in Columbus, winning on Conley's runner in the lane with 4 seconds left to clinch their second straight regular-season cpnference IItle. This time, Wisconsin was fortunate to stay within striking range until the latter stages.

Tony Stewan, the most vocal critic of the track and the tires, finished seventh. He was followed by Ryan Newman, Las Vegas native Kyle Busch and Jamie McMurray. Dale Earnhardt Jr. wound up a disappointing II th after a mental error cost him a toplive finish. He was in fifth when Kasey Kahne 's wreck brought out the final caution, and didn't notice that pit road was closed when he mistakenly followed Jeff Burton down it. "I followed the 31.

He picked up two spots in the fmishing order and 12 in the points he's now 28th overall. Even without the mistake. Earnhardt wouldn't . have challenged the Hendrick tandem of Johnson and Gordon, who had the field covered for most of the race. But it was Johnson who wound up in Victory Lane. even after a tire rolled loose on pit road earlier in the race. The penalty dropped Johnson to 25th, but he wasted little time moving back to the front.

Conley had eight assists and six rebound~. and Lewis was 6for-12 from the field. Meanwhile, Buckeyes fans serenaded Oden with a "One more yearl" chant during the postgame ceremony, but the teen phenom said he hasn't "even thought about" whether he will return for another year of college basketball. Big Ten player of the year Alando Tucker missed his first sill shots for Wisconsin and finished with 10 points. He was 4-of-13 from the field. Kammron Taylor scored 15 points but was just 6-for-18. The Badgers (29-5) never found their range, going 21-for-57 overall and 4-for-23 on 3-pointers. They also committed 17 turnovers. The Buckeyes and Badgers split two nail-biters during the regular season, but this time the drama ended with about6 112 minutes remaining. With the score 48-40. Ohio State's Jamar Butler retrieved a loose ball near midcoun after having it knocked away and buried a 3-pointer from beyond NBA range with about 3 seconds left on the shot clock and 6:35 remaining in the game.

See PageB1. BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT®MYDAILYSENTINE L.COM .P OMEROY - Last night members of Pomeroy Council heard the final plans for what will be the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department 's new ladder truck due in December. Rick Blaettnar, chief of the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department, di sc ussed the new ladder truck estimated to cost $617,000. The truck's entire cost is covered by a $595,000 federal Department of Homeland Security grant and the $45,000 sale of an older truck to the Scipio Volunteer Fire Department, in essence making it a free tire truck . Blaettnar went on to say the new truck will have the same red and black color scheme as.Pumper One with the addition of a silver ladder. A special ceremony will be scheduled after the truck arrives for local officials and residents to inspect the new addition. Clerk Treasurer Kathy Hysell reported $1,300 had been collected in rental inspection fees. Chief Mark E. Proffitt said beginning next week delinquent landlords wi II be targeted for failure to pay th e rental inspection fee. "This week we're going after junk vehicles, trash and also continuing o ur rental inspections," Proffitt told Council The issue of having a village wide pickup of brush was discussed and later tabled. Council approved hiring Charles Metzler for the positions of part time police ofl'icer and pan time dispatcher for the Pomeroy Police Department retroac· tive to March 5 . Resolution R.07 wa' passed, transferring $ 10 ,000 from .the general fund to th e street fund for curre nt operating expenses. Hysell informed council of training she was required to attend April 3~~- The tuition to attend the class is $165 and Hysell will be attending with Syracuse Clerk Sharon Cottrill, a llowing trave l expenses to be cut in halL Councilman George Stewart asked about the Mulberry Pond improveme nt project and the status of an Ohio Department of Clerk: Passport applications delayed BY CHARLENE HOEFIJCH HOEFUCH@MYOAILYSENTINEL .COM OBITUARIES Page AS • Belinda Bush, 33 • Harold Nelson, 70 • Earl Roush, 83 • GET THIS: INSIDE Here's a stack of a dozen new Pres1dent1al Dollars t hat are extremely uncommon because they're carved with edge lettering bearing date, Mint mark, IN GOD WE TRUST and E PLURIBUS UNUM Everyone is getting the first Presidential Coin Free By SHAWN OYLER (UMS) - There's a "pot of gold" waiting for everyone who loves being first. Starting at precisely 7:45 a.m. today, the very first Presidential Coins ever to be minted by the U.S. Government are being handed out to the public with every single vault tube. And who's to thank for this massive give·away effort'! Well, it's not the government. It's the World Reserve Monetary Exchange. And we'll even give you the direct Hotline to call so you can be among the first to get yours free right now. People everywhere will be •trying to get their hands on these magnificent stacks of coins with the never-be fore · seen edge markings. But only those who get in before the 3-day deadline are being hand· ed a brand new never· circu lat ed Presidentia l Dollar Coin free with every single 120 sealed vault tube. · Officials at the World Reserve are bracing for the explosion of ca Us. But, don't give up calling if you don't get through the first time. Keep trying. "It's a miracle we were able to set up special Hotlines in three Regional Distribution Zones in an effort to maintain order across the country. We feared the flood of calls l'Ould bring us to our knees but \ve are now equipped to handle everyone who is trying to get through to get the coins," said Stephen Speakman, Director of Hotline Operations for the World Reserve Monetary Exchange. All this is happening because the World Reserve has revealed it will release its secretly located hoard of $13 million worth of never-circulated Presidential Coins in vault sea led tubes to prevent them from ever being introduced into commerce. It's the only way to maintain their value as never-circulated coins. "This is what everyone wants but so few will actually have. So many will be left with just ordinary circulated coins if they can even firid them in their bank change. That's why we are so widely adver~ tising our plans to give away the never- drculated Presid,ential Coins free," said Speakman. Those who do beat the order deadline will be among the first to also get a free Presidential Dollar Coin so they can handle it, show it off and still keep the valuable vault tube sea led and perfectly intact. The U.S. Mint• is required to honor each President with a single Presidential $1 Coin, with a dif. ferent President appearing every ninety days. That's why everyone is trying to get the Washington dollar coin right now since it is the fir st of forty Presidential Dollars to be released during th e inaugu - ral year for the series. "That means there will be forty sealed vault tubes in all, each containing twelve never-circulated Presidential Coins. That's 480 coins. But with all forty of the free .coins everybody is getting, it becomes a spectacular collection of 520 nevercirculated coins in all, loaded into two separate heavy vault boxes. Only those lucky enough to get in on the vault bdxes now will be among the first to be automatically taken care of with all of the new Presidential Dollars to ever be minted for the next ten years," explained Speakman. The Presidential Dollars are just now starting to slowly make their way into the National Banking System. But Banks will not honor requests for the free coi ns. And Banks will never have crystal-clear sealed vault tubes of the nevercirculated cnins that show off the rare edge markings. Claims for these free coins which are in never-circulated . condition are only being honored by the World Reserve for the next three days and only for those who beat the deadline for the sealed vault tubes.

Since March is Music in Our Schools Month, a special emphasis is bemg placed this month on the Importance of music programs in the schools with an emphasis on how music relates to academic achievement as well as development of lifetime skills. ''Band is a perfect representation of the world in which we all exist where some are ready and willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve success, where there are those that do just enough 10 get by, and of course the few that are perfectly happy 10 simply enJOY the ride on the shirt tails of others." Dingess said his goal is to encourage and hopefully inspire each student to perform at his or her highest level. To stress the popularity as well as importance of band in school curriculum, he described the growth in marching band competitions as "the fastest growing spec tator sport in the · U .S. today." He noted that on any given weekend in the fall there are at least I 0 marching competitions within a 90minute drive with between 300 and 500 students participating. "Multiply that by parents, grandparents and fans and you easily fill a stadium," he said. Please - Musk. A5 mln.tell again. M~abU(IQed '' ' •.· ~·~ . '~ \11 \!If~<~> .
