Once he forces himself to get past the awkwardness, · things can. become normalized. If the two of them are still seeing a counselor, ask your daughter to bri~ up the subject at the neKt session. Otherwise, send yo11r son-in-law a note, saying, . "We forgive you and we miss you. Please come for dinner next Sunday." Dear Annie: I have a 2year-old son whom I love very much and wouldn't gi ve up for anyt~ing in the world, but I had him when I was 17 yean; old. I wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn't becon)e pregnant. . . · To all the parents of. teens out there. it is better to be open about sex th an to . expect your child to be · abstinent. When I was 16 and in love for the first time, I thought my relationship with my child 's fillher would last forever. I was afraid to talk to my mom about birth control , be~ause she expected me to wait until marriage. But rampant hormones and, a desire to be accepted ofleri outweigh parents' eKpectations. Please, t~lk to your ·kids. Teach them about STDs and pregnancy. Let them know it's OK to be . frank. I don' t regret having my son, b\lt I do regret losing ,what s'hould have been the most fun years of my life. -Too Lat.e Smart Dear Too ·Late: ·Thank you for making it clear how tmportant it is for parents to discuss sex, and all the repercu'ssions , with their · children.

Even diehard liberals liked the 11uy's style. He has charisma. Snow was perhaps President llus)l 's best hire. Om; of the reasons I cut the Bush administration some slack is that Snow answers my questions on and off the record. And if Tony Snow tells me something, I can ban.k it. He doesn' t lie or mislead, ever. Snow would never work for people who "lied" to get us into a war for "oil." He would never defend policies that he deemed dishonest or harmful to Americans. He has three young children; , a smart wife and a loyal extended family. He loves them as he loves his country, with passion and selflessness. So, I believe what Sn@w tells me, and I ~lieve he's looking. out · for all Americans. There is no question the Bush admin.istration has failed in Iraq. Snow knows it but has not given up. unlike inany American s.

Om; of the reasons I cut the Bush administration some slack is that Snow answers my questions on and off the record. And if Tony Snow tells me something, I can ban.k it. He doesn' t lie or mislead, ever. Snow would never work for people who "lied" to get us into a war for "oil." He would never defend policies that he deemed dishonest or harmful to Americans. He has three young children; , a smart wife and a loyal extended family. He loves them as he loves his country, with passion and selflessness.

Baseball probably began in any organized way in Gallipolis in 1866. · The sport was no doubt played as .a "pick up" game during the Civil ' War by soldiers who had come here from otl)er places. In the Aug. 9, 1866 edition of the Gallipolis Journal, we read where · the ' Gallia Baseball Club of Gallipolis was organized at Henking Hall. Officers were elected and a constitution and bylaws were approved. The rules of play ·chosen were those that were published in 1865 by the Baseball Convention of 1865. "Baseballs and bats have been sent for to Cincinnati. Ground has been laid out on the public square and several , games played already.

We trust than another club of the same kind will soon be organized. Competition is · the life of trade." Baseball has undergone a lot of changes since its invention back in the 1840s.

Baseball probably began in any organized way in Gallipolis in 1866. · The sport was no doubt played as .a "pick up" game during the Civil ' War by soldiers who had come here from otl)er places. In the Aug. 9, 1866 edition of the Gallipolis Journal, we read where · the ' Gallia Baseball Club of Gallipolis was organized at Henking Hall. Officers were elected and a constitution and bylaws were approved. The rules of play ·chosen were those that were published in 1865 by the Baseball Convention of 1865. "Baseballs and bats have been sent for to Cincinnati. Ground has been laid out on the public square and several , games played already. This is a healthful game, ·good exercise and · full of excitement-Every town and village in the country can boast of their Base Ball Club, and we are surprised . that this has never been thought of here before. We trust than another club of the same kind will soon be organized. Competition is · the life of trade." Baseball has undergone a lot of changes since its invention back in the 1840s. It wasn't until 1858 that strikes could be called by the umpire. Previous to that. it ~as the pitcher-'s responsibility to place the ball·where the batter requested it and the -latter could stay ·at · bat until he got his pitch.

Until 1858, a fielder .could put,the ·batter out by catching the hit ball on the first bounce. Also until about that time, a runner could be put. down by throwing the ball at his person rather than just tagging him. · . The pitcher's box was 4 feet by 12 feet..

Salinger will give his first ever television interview, lured by the long .arm of Winfrey, publishing's biggest hit-maker and a media superstar. Winfrey announced Wednesday on her Chicagobased TV show that McC;uthy's "The Road" was her new book club pick. "Mr. McCarthy respects her work., admires what she has accomplished, has an awareness of her book club, and thought it would be interesting to participate in the conversation with Oprah,'' McCarthy's publicist, Piml Bogaards of Alfred A. Knopf, told The Associated Press. "He kpew who she was when. she called." In selecting "The Road," not only will Winfrey meet with an author who, according to Bogaards, has given just two interviews in the past 40 years, but she has taken on a novel with little of the uplifting spirit she often favors.

Salinger will give his first ever television interview, lured by the long .arm of Winfrey, publishing's biggest hit-maker and a media superstar. Winfrey announced Wednesday on her Chicagobased TV show that McC;uthy's "The Road" was her new book club pick. "Mr. McCarthy respects her work., admires what she has accomplished, has an awareness of her book club, and thought it would be interesting to participate in the conversation with Oprah,'' McCarthy's publicist, Piml Bogaards of Alfred A. Knopf, told The Associated Press. "He kpew who she was when. she called." In selecting "The Road," not only will Winfrey meet with an author who, according to Bogaards, has given just two interviews in the past 40 years, but she has taken on a novel with little of the uplifting spirit she often favors.

WITTMEYER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRIT~R PARMA, Idaho If Esmaeil Fallahi has his way, the home of ·the worldfamous Russet 'potato may soon also welcome per-simmons, pistachios, pawpaws, quinces and mulberries. ' Fallahi, a University Qf Idaho professor, bas been the state's fruit guru for almost 20 years, working on everything from improving apple irrigation to finding the best way to thin a plum tree. ' Now, Fallahi wants to give the agriculture industry a little more flash in a state best known for its pedestrian potatoes, onions and sugar beets. Fallahi's lab is research ing "alternative fruits" those that traditionally haven't been grown in a region - that might have potential· in Idaho. They could be as simple as a Fuji apple, where the traditional crop might be re\1 delicious, or as ' exotic as a jujubi,- a medicinal plant that grows in India, Pakistan and Fallahi's native lrari. , "There. is a huge urge for new things, for trying new tastes - a curiosity and urge for something differem," said Fallahi , who is hoping these fruits can grow into big bucks for Idaho farmers. Fallahi grew ·up un a I ,000-acre fruit farm in Iran, and when he arrived, he was immediately struck by the similarities between the growing conditions in Iran and Idaho. People don't realize it, he said, but most of Iran is . less Middle Eastern desert than it is mountainous farmland . / Idaho's warm days and cool nights help concentrate the flavor in fruits, making it a prime place to experiment with crops. So, Fallahi thought, why not try to grow the same fruits here ? He started working in the early 1990s with different varieties of fruits already grown in Idaho, such as pluots - a half-breed of tri:ldilional plums and apricots doughnut peaches, and table grapes mslead of wine grapes. Table grapes are about a $3 million industry in Idaho, and are growing by leaps and bounds - the head of the Idaho Table Grape Association expects them to expand into a $20 million industry within a few years. As his ftr,a projecJ:~ .hav£ beguhii''t-ake' ciff. .Fa llahi is starting to bt'<inch out farther. He's eyeing Astan pears as the neKt table grape, and then, be hopes, persimmons will have their day in the sun.' "We're not going to go citrus or dates here. We ' re not that extreme," he said. "But we like to experiment." The state Department of Agriculture doesn't. track how inany farmers are growing alternative crops. but they 're being grown on such a small scale that they wouldn't account for much if they were tracked, department ofticials say. But the department is pushing for rnore farmers to phase these plants into their orchards in the future , to hedge the if" bets against .frost or a weak market, said Leah Clark, who heads a , marketing program to promote Idaho products. "Maybe the apple crop is poor, but maybe the quince crop or the Asian pear or the pluot is great," park said. "Having dtversity JU St allows you to manage your risk." As Idaho agriculture continues to concentrate more and more in industries like dairy or sugar beets. where ecgnomies of scale play an important cole, small farmers are squeezed out, said Garth Taylor, an agricultural economist with the university. But specialty fruits can be grown in a someone's backyard, or on the · ranchet!es that are filling up subdivisions all over southeast Idaho. And their exotic qual ities can fetch high prices at local farmer 's markets: Astan pears can sell for over a dollar per pear at farmer 's markets, Fallahi says. "They're not gonna take over milk. Those small spe.cialty crops - they're quite a drop in the bucket, as compared to our big crops," . Taylor said. 'They're just going to give smaller farmers a chance to make a livmg oft increasingly expen sive land." Ron Mann, 73, used to grow all the traditional crops - apples, plums and cherries - on h1s 35-acre orchard in north Pavette. But after watching Idaho's apple and plum markets crumble from the competition of countries like China, he said, he started looking for other options. He Is turned to chestnuts, which he sells to organic stores for $3.00 or $3.50 per pound . . "We can compete big time with chestnuts," he said. "We can compete. and beat the daylight s out of 'em. and keep the farmers on the farm . That 's what it's all about." Researchers trying to find new uses for cow manure BY DAVID N. GOODMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER DETROIT - Home-buyers of tomorrow could find themselves walking across floors made from manure. That's no cow pie-in-thesky dream , according to researchers at Michigan State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They say fiber from processed and sterilized cow manure could take the place of sawdust in fiberboard , which ts used to make everything from furniture to flooring to store shelves. A"nd the resulting product smells just fine. The researchers hope tt could be part of the solution to disposing of the 1.5 trillion to 2 trillion pounds of manure produced annually in the Umted States. · The concept has its skeptics. · "Is this something you 're going to bring into the house ?" asked Steve Fowler, an economist with Panel the ·composite e>ssociation, a fiberboardmakers trade'group ba!!fd in Gaithersburg, Md. Farmers traditionally use manure to fenilire their fields . But as the scale of farms has growR _.. with 'lnore and more animals densely concentrated in a single location - t~ey can fihd themselves with too little land for the manure they produce. . "Farmers are having to I put more and more money mto dealing with manure," said Tim Zauche, a chemistry professor at the University of Wiscon~in­ Piiltteville who is working on the USDA research project. . A dairy farm can spend $200 per cow per year to handle tis manure , Zauche said. Those costs include onsite processing and spreading, as well as tran sportation for· , offsite disposal. Environmental activists and regulators are paying increased attention to the contamination of streams and underground ·water sources from manure runoff And people who move into what used to be rural areas often complain about manure's odor. Under pressure from regulators and.the public, more large livestock operations are installing expensive manure treatm~nt systems known as anaerobic digesters. The digesters use heat to deodorize and sterilize manure. while· capturing and using the methane gas it produces to genetate el~­ tricity. The systems al so separate phosphorus-laden liquid fertilizer from semisolid plant residue. . The solids have some know.11 uses, including animal beddin~ and potting soil, and agncultura scientists would like to find more.

The newly laid eggs will not emerge until next year.

Elias spends a great deal of time pruning the grapes before they start budding in April.

WITTMEYER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRIT~R PARMA, Idaho If Esmaeil Fallahi has his way, the home of ·the worldfamous Russet 'potato may soon also welcome per-simmons, pistachios, pawpaws, quinces and mulberries. ' Fallahi, a University Qf Idaho professor, bas been the state's fruit guru for almost 20 years, working on everything from improving apple irrigation to finding the best way to thin a plum tree. ' Now, Fallahi wants to give the agriculture industry a little more flash in a state best known for its pedestrian potatoes, onions and sugar beets. Fallahi's lab is research ing "alternative fruits" those that traditionally haven't been grown in a region - that might have potential· in Idaho. They could be as simple as a Fuji apple, where the traditional crop might be re\1 delicious, or as ' exotic as a jujubi,- a medicinal plant that grows in India, Pakistan and Fallahi's native lrari. , "There. is a huge urge for new things, for trying new tastes - a curiosity and urge for something differem," said Fallahi , who is hoping these fruits can grow into big bucks for Idaho farmers. Fallahi grew ·up un a I ,000-acre fruit farm in Iran, and when he arrived, he was immediately struck by the similarities between the growing conditions in Iran and Idaho. People don't realize it, he said, but most of Iran is . less Middle Eastern desert than it is mountainous farmland . / Idaho's warm days and cool nights help concentrate the flavor in fruits, making it a prime place to experiment with crops. So, Fallahi thought, why not try to grow the same fruits here ? He started working in the early 1990s with different varieties of fruits already grown in Idaho, such as pluots - a half-breed of tri:ldilional plums and apricots doughnut peaches, and table grapes mslead of wine grapes. Table grapes are about a $3 million industry in Idaho, and are growing by leaps and bounds - the head of the Idaho Table Grape Association expects them to expand into a $20 million industry within a few years. As his ftr,a projecJ:~ .hav£ beguhii''t-ake' ciff. .Fa llahi is starting to bt'<inch out farther. He's eyeing Astan pears as the neKt table grape, and then, be hopes, persimmons will have their day in the sun.' "We're not going to go citrus or dates here. We ' re not that extreme," he said. "But we like to experiment." The state Department of Agriculture doesn't. track how inany farmers are growing alternative crops. but they 're being grown on such a small scale that they wouldn't account for much if they were tracked, department ofticials say. But the department is pushing for rnore farmers to phase these plants into their orchards in the future , to hedge the if" bets against .frost or a weak market, said Leah Clark, who heads a , marketing program to promote Idaho products. "Maybe the apple crop is poor, but maybe the quince crop or the Asian pear or the pluot is great," park said. "Having dtversity JU St allows you to manage your risk." As Idaho agriculture continues to concentrate more and more in industries like dairy or sugar beets. where ecgnomies of scale play an important cole, small farmers are squeezed out, said Garth Taylor, an agricultural economist with the university. But specialty fruits can be grown in a someone's backyard, or on the · ranchet!es that are filling up subdivisions all over southeast Idaho. And their exotic qual ities can fetch high prices at local farmer 's markets: Astan pears can sell for over a dollar per pear at farmer 's markets, Fallahi says. "They're not gonna take over milk. Those small spe.cialty crops - they're quite a drop in the bucket, as compared to our big crops," . Taylor said. 'They're just going to give smaller farmers a chance to make a livmg oft increasingly expen sive land." Ron Mann, 73, used to grow all the traditional crops - apples, plums and cherries - on h1s 35-acre orchard in north Pavette. But after watching Idaho's apple and plum markets crumble from the competition of countries like China, he said, he started looking for other options. He Is turned to chestnuts, which he sells to organic stores for $3.00 or $3.50 per pound . . "We can compete big time with chestnuts," he said. "We can compete. and beat the daylight s out of 'em. and keep the farmers on the farm . That 's what it's all about." Researchers trying to find new uses for cow manure BY DAVID N. GOODMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER DETROIT - Home-buyers of tomorrow could find themselves walking across floors made from manure. That's no cow pie-in-thesky dream , according to researchers at Michigan State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They say fiber from processed and sterilized cow manure could take the place of sawdust in fiberboard , which ts used to make everything from furniture to flooring to store shelves. A"nd the resulting product smells just fine. The researchers hope tt could be part of the solution to disposing of the 1.5 trillion to 2 trillion pounds of manure produced annually in the Umted States. · The concept has its skeptics. · "Is this something you 're going to bring into the house ?" asked Steve Fowler, an economist with Panel the ·composite e>ssociation, a fiberboardmakers trade'group ba!!fd in Gaithersburg, Md. Farmers traditionally use manure to fenilire their fields . But as the scale of farms has growR _.. with 'lnore and more animals densely concentrated in a single location - t~ey can fihd themselves with too little land for the manure they produce. . "Farmers are having to I put more and more money mto dealing with manure," said Tim Zauche, a chemistry professor at the University of Wiscon~in­ Piiltteville who is working on the USDA research project. . A dairy farm can spend $200 per cow per year to handle tis manure , Zauche said. Those costs include onsite processing and spreading, as well as tran sportation for· , offsite disposal. Environmental activists and regulators are paying increased attention to the contamination of streams and underground ·water sources from manure runoff And people who move into what used to be rural areas often complain about manure's odor. Under pressure from regulators and.the public, more large livestock operations are installing expensive manure treatm~nt systems known as anaerobic digesters. The digesters use heat to deodorize and sterilize manure. while· capturing and using the methane gas it produces to genetate el~­ tricity. The systems al so separate phosphorus-laden liquid fertilizer from semisolid plant residue. . The solids have some know.11 uses, including animal beddin~ and potting soil, and agncultura scientists would like to find more. "We really need to think outside the box on what uses for manure are," said biping fibers with a chemiWendy Powers, a professor cal re sin, then subjecting of agriculture at Michigan the mtxture to heat and State University. pressure.

Bv BETH SERGENT Holzer Medical Center's Ambulatory Surgery RACINE - The view from Albert Proffitt's' front poreh along Yellowbush Road is deceptively tninquil these days though if you state closer at the adj acent hillsides you begi n to notice something is off and you realize there are no trees. · Proffitt lives directly across the road from where Gatling Ohio, LLC hopes to put in a room and pillar coal mine operation. Proffitt now calls his address "ground zero." .., OBITUARIES "From the road you can't see one-fifth of the damage," Proffitt said of the neighboring hillside which generations ago belonged to his family. "It looks like a tornado went through." When talking to Proffitt, he doesn't ·strike you as someone who is an environment&( acti vistlagitator who can be shoved into the cliche mold of a sandal-wearing, vegetarian, earth-loving·hippie with no Meigs County ties. Quite the opposite, Proffitt is a 1969 graduate of Southern .High Sclmol who left soon after graduation due to the lack of jobs and ended up working as a welder for AK Steel in Middleton between Dayton and Cincinnati. He returned to Meigs County in 2001 and purchased 28 acres of land from an aunt on Yellowbush Road, making him the fourth seneration of his family to ltve on the prop\!rty. He inherited an old grainery, corn crib and hog lot as well as a home he 's since remodeled. Nowadays, the 55-year old Proffitt has also started his own part-time business on his property called AP Welding to keep him busy during retirement.

"Even if I wanted to move, I couldn 't find a buyer," Proffitt said of his own situation, stating he does not want to move.
