The concert, which will begin at 8 p.m., will be held in the Berry Fine and Performing Arts Center on the Rio Grande campus. The Symphony Orchestra is made up of Rio Grande student~ and members of the community. The group currently has 25 members.

REGIONAL BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - The Social Security numbers of 63,000 people, who received Agriculture Department grants have been posted on a government Web site since 1996, but they were taken down last week. Free credit monitoring is being offered to those affected. · The security breach was only .noticed last week and promptly closed, the Agriculture Department and Census Bureau announced Friday. The Agriculture data that included Social Security numbers were removed from the Web on April 13 and similar data from. 32 other agencies were taken down April 17 as a precaution, said Agriculture spokeswoman Terri Teuber. · A review has determined that none of the other 32 agencies had a similar problem, said Sean Kevelighl!J1, spokesman for the Office of Management and Budget. 'There is no evidence that this information has been misused," Teuber added. "However, due to the potential that this information was downloaded prior to .being removed, USDA will provide . the additional monitoring service." The breach was discovered by Marsha Bergmeier, president of Mohr Family Farms in Fairmount, Ill.

Only 16 days ago, River Valley's b<~se ball team snapped a 28-game losing streak with an 8-7 victory Ohio . Valley over Co nference foe Coal Grove. Fast forward to Friday and it was like two different teams, as the Hornets scored early and often in a 12-1 victory in five innings over visiting River Valley.

Two more bat:ters were then walked, scoring another run. After. an error scored another run, Wayne Sparks doubled home two more runs and another fielder 's choice ended the scoring at six to give the home squad a 9-0 lead. River Valley added its lone ron in the third on a walk, a single and a sacrifice fly ·by Clayton Curnutte to score the run . Coal Grove then added three more in the bottom half thanks to a two-run double by Alex Johnson to give the Hornets a win via the mercy rule . Johnson also got the win on the mound, allowing just one hit whi le fanning eight and walliing two. Ryan Eggleton was credited with the pitching loss, with Aaron Mulholland coming in relief in the secorid inning. Combined, the two hurlers gave up six hits.

It is a book about race, our perceptions of what it means to be black in America, and how we deal with those of different races and backgrounds. Dana Clarke has married "up" into an old Boston family who knows its roots. She never 'knew her father, and her mother drowned when she was a child. Raised.by her loving grandmother, she has never sought out her biological father. Her husband is a suecessful lawyer, taking many cases for minority clients. He thinks of himself as totally tolerant. When Dana and Hugh's firs! child is born, she has bronze skin and curl y hair. The parents are both pale and obviously Caucasian.

The ending is surprising, and the writing is compelling. · I was surprised that Oprah chose Cormac McCarthy's The Road as her book for discussion. I read it several months ago, and it still haunts me. A recent New York Times article mentioned it as one of the books on nuclear holocaust. It seems the current generation has no fear of a nuclear attack Several books and movies in the past have dealt with that subject. It is surely not a pleasant story, and The Road is about the most stark and disturbing book I have ever read, next to Johnny Got His Gun, about a survivor of war who has lost every capacity except the ability to think. We must not forget how horrible war is for everyone involved.

People who haven't visited . the library lately are encouraged to ·visit during the Week of the Young Child - April 2228. Public libraries partner with education to help provide better futures for all children. The focus during the week will simply be opportunity - the opportuniti es provided by having a steady supply of books to read and memories to share. Volunteers are ·welcome throu'ghout the week to ass ist in the children's Betty Clarkson department reading to chi ldren. Teachers are encouraged to borrow collections of materials for their classrooms- the library shelves are full of board books for babies, interesting picture books for children of all ages, arid easy to read primers for primary grades. Chapter .books encourage older children to read. and are easy for parents and grandparents to read alo ud at bedtime. Library emp loyees can help with suggested titles for reading to different grades. During the past . week, and for the next few weeks, the library will be waiving all fines and fees associated with the return of overdue books. Many good titles are missing from the shelves and library staff would . rather have . the materials than the fines. It is a perfect time io return the library books discovered during spring cleaning. Fines have been accumu lating at 10 cents per day for each item, and replacement charges now cost $25 or more for eaGh item. Parents and teachers are encouraged to gather the books and return them - to a bookmobile, to one of the book drops locat' ed at the county schools, or to the library. No questions wi II be asked, and fines and fees will not be charged. After the next board meeting, the decision will be made about what to do with the older library patron accounts, the larges t of which owe $400 in materials and fines.

Sunday, April 22, 2007 =========Travel & Destinations~========== Dominica Hike to Boiling Lake, stay at an eco-lodge on caribbean 'Nature Island' BY JILL LAWLESS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER VALLEY OF DESOLATION. Dominica - As I picked my way over hot rocks and bubbling mud in the pouring rain, I realized Dominica was not for the faint -hearted. I was hikin g to the Boiling Lake·, a bizarre cauldron of steaming-hut water, 200 feet across, and one of the strangest sights on thi s rugged and beautiful Caribbean island. 'The hike is a . six-hour round trip that run s through dense rainforest and over mountain ridges before emerging in the Valley of Desolation - an eerie, treeless swath of volcanic · devastation striped black and orange with mineral deposits and swirling with mi st and steam. Like so much in Dominica, the journey takes effort - but it 's worth it. This jagged, densely . rainforested island , about 29 miles long and 16 wide , is located between Guadeloupe and Martinique in the East,ern Caribbean, 375 miles southeast of San Juan , Puerto Rico. A poor country of 71 ,000 dependent on agriculture and tourism , Dominica brands itself the Caribbean's "Nature Island ," and the name is justified . Vi sitors will find exceptionally friendly people, all-but deserted black-sand beaches and. a mountainous interior ·of dense rainforest. clean rushing ri vers and jungle waterfalls. Even for a halfhearted hiker, it is inspiring almost any walk ca n end with the chance to swim in a river pool beneath a sparkling cascade. . "There is such a deli cate balance of narure here," said Jem Winston , an enthusiastic Englishman who runs 3 Rivers EcoLodge, an environmentally friendly retreat near Dominica 's wild eas t coast. "We 've got everything - heavy rain , heavy sun, volcanoes, earthquakes." · .

Winston fell in love with Dominica years ago as a young backpacker and worked as a taxi driver back in England to raise the money to buy his piece of the island. Opened four years ago, 3 Rivers consists of [our simple wood chal ets, with beds and mosquito nets, kitchen and bathroom. Each has a hammock-slung balcony overlooking lush green grounds, paths lined with mango, guava, sta( fruit and papaya trees, and forested hills. Four even · more secluded cabins nes tle in woods above the main site . The lodge takes its environmentalism seriously. and has a clutch of international awards to prove it. Electricity and hot water are solar-generated, and Winston is installing a hydroelectric generator to boost the site's power supply. Hi s pickup truck runs on cooking oil. The cabins have showers. but guests can also take the locally made biodegradable soap provided down to.an idyl lic swimming hole' in one of th.e site's eponymous three rivers. The onsite restaurant provides hearty meals. with fruit and vegetables drawn from 3 Rivers' own organic gardens. "What I loved about here compared to other countries was that the people cared about the nature ," Win ston said. ''They want development, but they don't , want. to destroy the land to do it.

Color is a huge component of a room ·s decor and should be chosen with care. "A basic rule of thumb. in interiorllesign is to select one neutral tone and two brighter accent colors that combine in a pleasing way," adds Lowe. Area rugs from Liz Claiborne Home, made exclusive ly by Nourison for example. make choosing room accent colors easy because design teams have already selected colors that work well together. Simply pull and mi1tch colors from the field or design. · "Your choice of acces· sories should , c,omplement the decor,"' says Lowe .

Toss out pillows, curtains, candles and other accessories from your old room and bring in new ones in complementary colors and styles. You'll be surprised how dramatic the change wi II be_ Promote a traditional style with classic elements; a more modem look with sleeker, pared-down accents. Since the eye is drawn to like colors, stick to the use of complementary shades of metal and wood.

Recently students and teachers from Carleton School passed out informational pamphlets at different locations in the community to raise awareness of the disability and in some cases put a face and therefore a reality to who the disability affects. "People are unaware of the actual neurological problem, they think the child is misbehaving," Jessica Barnett, speech therapist at Carleton School said. "Just because the child looks typical doesn't mean they are." Barnett says she loves working with autistic children, saying they are her "favorites." Barnett teaches them how to communicate through sign language or pictures because most of the children with the disability don't even like to make eye contact, Many of the staff and students at Carleton participated in the HOPE Intervention Autism Walk on Saturday in · Gallipolis.
