In Gallia County's first civil forfeiture action, Gallia County Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans ordered the forfeiture of $2,546 to the Gallia County Sheriff's Office, which deputies seized during a 2005 drug trafficking investigation. On Jan. 28, 2005, four Columbus men wen!' detained foll owin g the search of a residence on Ohio 160 near Bidwell, where, ·according to authori ties, evidence of cocaine trafficking-was found. Each of the four men detained possessed a large sum of money, totaling . $2,546. Though enough evidence was not obtained to pursue criminal charges, authorities began looking into the possibility of pursuing forfei ture of property seized during drug related investigations in civil court. "Although criminal charges rimst be supported by probable eause, and crimmal cases must be proven beyond a· reasonable doubt; a civil forfeiture action can be supported by a lower evidentiary standard normall y associated with non-criminal actions," said Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Eric Mulford.

Mom was capable and strong then, but over the last few years, she has lost her shortterm memory and can no longer do much for herself. She's become very dependent on us. My husband works long hours, and he often has to leave work early to go with Mom to her doctors' , appointments. Someone has to stay with her, because she can't remember what the doctor .says. This is starting to ·become a strain. . Mom has four other kids, but the burden has fallen on us. Two daughters live in 'our city. One invites Mom for dinner about three times a year. The other daughter does absolutely nothing. ·.The older son and his wife live only 30 minutes away, but they see Mpm only a few times a year. The youngest sibling is so filled with self-pity that she cannot help anyone, and worse, .she continually puts more strain on her 80-year-old -~ mother. . The siblings all speak to Mom over the phone, but not one of them has ever asked us how things are going or offered to help. Of course, they would be the first to stick their noses in if we dido 't do something :right. How do we get them ·to see that Mom is slipping fast' and we need their help? -Left Holding the Bag in New York . Dear N.Y.: It often happens that one cbild takes on the major care giving responsibilities, and unfor. tunately, you cannot force ·your husband 's siblings to do more. He should ask them to pitch in, and g(ve them concrete suggestions, such as a schedule where each sibling gets Mom one . weekend a month, or which doctors ' appointments Soand-So·.will handle. If they are unwilling to do this, .ask if they will provide finan cia! help so you can hire a nurse's aide or have Mom attend a senior day care program once or twice a week. You will need more help as Mom's situation changes, so it would be a good idea to work on this now. · Dear Annie: Just how f<\r does a person have to go to right a wrong?

POMEROY Missionary Gastom Ntarnbo Sunday, April Gallia County calendar Meigs County calendar ' f~II- A Check Out The New Dear Annie: Five years ago, my mother-in-law moved in with us after my father-in-law died. Mom was capable and strong then, but over the last few years, she has lost her shortterm memory and can no longer do much for herself. She's become very dependent on us. My husband works long hours, and he often has to leave work early to go with Mom to her doctors' , appointments. Someone has to stay with her, because she can't remember what the doctor .says. This is starting to ·become a strain. . Mom has four other kids, but the burden has fallen on us. Two daughters live in 'our city. One invites Mom for dinner about three times a year. The other daughter does absolutely nothing. ·.The older son and his wife live only 30 minutes away, but they see Mpm only a few times a year. The youngest sibling is so filled with self-pity that she cannot help anyone, and worse, .she continually puts more strain on her 80-year-old -~ mother. . The siblings all speak to Mom over the phone, but not one of them has ever asked us how things are going or offered to help. Of course, they would be the first to stick their noses in if we dido 't do something :right. How do we get them ·to see that Mom is slipping fast' and we need their help? -Left Holding the Bag in New York . Dear N.Y.: It often happens that one cbild takes on the major care giving responsibilities, and unfor. tunately, you cannot force ·your husband 's siblings to do more. He should ask them to pitch in, and g(ve them concrete suggestions, such as a schedule where each sibling gets Mom one . weekend a month, or which doctors ' appointments Soand-So·.will handle. If they are unwilling to do this, .ask if they will provide finan cia! help so you can hire a nurse's aide or have Mom attend a senior day care program once or twice a week. You will need more help as Mom's situation changes, so it would be a good idea to work on this now. · Dear Annie: Just how f<\r does a person have to go to right a wrong?

Thi s projection means the shortage will increase by three times the current rate over the next 13 years. Accordii,Jg to the American Nurses Association, the average age of an RN is 46.8 years old. This shortage is magnified by the fact that current caregivers will be leaving the workforce. Young women and men should consider nursing as a professional option. .Rewards are not only fou!)d with personal satisfaction.

I For those of us under 50 years old, it is hard to imagine a time when there were no whitetail deer in Ohio.. My father once told me that "back in the day" seeing a deer was a rare event and that deer sightings were even reported in the local newspaper "similar to bear sightings these days "and of course it hasn't been that long ago that you were only able to harvest one deer and to get a doe tag you had to send in an application. Pioneer accounts of the Buckeye State say deer and turkey were present in the state along with other animals like porcupine, timber wolf, mountain lion, lynx, bison and elk. While . it doubtful that all of these animals will return to Ohio, some, like deer and turkey, are plentiful, and other animals Iike the beaver, bobcat and river otter have also returned along with some · newcomers like the coyote. Seeing a wild turkey was a relatively uncommon event up until the 1980s. I recently had a call about several bobcat sightinss in Meigs County's Ohio Valley Christian School and .

A lot of people have heard that wild turkeys are to blame for the decline in grouse, and I can see why it would appear that way ~ after all, the number of wild turkey has increased while \he number of ruffed grouse has declined, but when you look at the population shift with an eye towards habitat it starts to make more sense; over the years the grouse habitat matured and turned into habitat that turkey prefer. Also remember that ruffed grouse and wild turkey managed to co-exist on this continent for countless years long before man arrived here. · Although never really common in southeastern Ohio, the number of non~ native, ring-necked pheasant has also declined. · Ohio"s · rabbit and squirrel populations appear to be healthy, also according to the Wildlife Population Status Report, bearing in mind that the rabbit population tends to fluctuate year-byyear largely based on weather conditions. Also, the mourning dove population has increased by 2.2 percent each year over the past ten years (so much for arguments that dove hunting in Ohio would decimate the dove population).

I For those of us under 50 years old, it is hard to imagine a time when there were no whitetail deer in Ohio.. My father once told me that "back in the day" seeing a deer was a rare event and that deer sightings were even reported in the local newspaper "similar to bear sightings these days "and of course it hasn't been that long ago that you were only able to harvest one deer and to get a doe tag you had to send in an application. Pioneer accounts of the Buckeye State say deer and turkey were present in the state along with other animals like porcupine, timber wolf, mountain lion, lynx, bison and elk. While . it doubtful that all of these animals will return to Ohio, some, like deer and turkey, are plentiful, and other animals Iike the beaver, bobcat and river otter have also returned along with some · newcomers like the coyote. Seeing a wild turkey was a relatively uncommon event up until the 1980s. I recently had a call about several bobcat sightinss in Meigs County's Ohio Valley Christian School and .

A lot of people have heard that wild turkeys are to blame for the decline in grouse, and I can see why it would appear that way ~ after all, the number of wild turkey has increased while \he number of ruffed grouse has declined, but when you look at the population shift with an eye towards habitat it starts to make more sense; over the years the grouse habitat matured and turned into habitat that turkey prefer. Also remember that ruffed grouse and wild turkey managed to co-exist on this continent for countless years long before man arrived here. · Although never really common in southeastern Ohio, the number of non~ native, ring-necked pheasant has also declined. · Ohio"s · rabbit and squirrel populations appear to be healthy, also according to the Wildlife Population Status Report, bearing in mind that the rabbit population tends to fluctuate year-byyear largely based on weather conditions. Also, the mourning dove population has increased by 2.2 percent each year over the past ten years (so much for arguments that dove hunting in Ohio would decimate the dove population).

It was sponges, and most of the sponge trade centered around Tarpon Spnngs, Fla. It was in 1900 that the Cheney Sponge Co. sold a million dollars' worth of sponges. By 1905. over 500 persons of Greek descent were employed in · harvesting the spon~e, an aquatic animal that clings to. ·hard objects, such as rocks or coral. Through a system of. ~hambers, the sponge mgests the plankton on which it lives. Every two ·months the growing sponge increases in diameter by half an 'inch. Between the inner and outer skins is a substance . ;:called "gurry," which · divers squeeze out of the :sponge when the sponges are gathered. The .sponges .an; then pounded and cleaned. Once on the ship, · the sponges are covered with wet burlap . sacks which releases heat to rot · the sponge's skin.

The fish were actu::ally mullets and not tar· :pon. The 4 million acres of : ·ground that surrounded · Tarpon Springs had been . bought in 1880 by Hamilton Disston from the state of Florida for 25 cents an acre. It was said .that this sale kept Florida . from going bankrupt. : Disston developed the area · first as an exclusive resort . for other Florida millionaires. One of those persons, John Cheney, discovered that the sponges, so plentiful there, had a constructive. use. Deep sea diving equipment was developed in the early part of the 20th centu. ry, allowing diver to go down even farther to barvest sponges. It was in 1947 that five Gallipolis men formed a partnership to go into the sponge diving business at Tarpon Springs. They were Leo Whi(e, Bill . Riffle, Eugene Boster, Bob Rutherford • and Beman Fish. An unnamed backer had purchased a · $7,000 yacht to transpon· the five back and forth from the sponge field.s . In 1947, the Greeks were still the dominant divers in Tarpon Springs, with the Gallipolis group being only the second former Navy divers to join the "calling."

It was sponges, and most of the sponge trade centered around Tarpon Spnngs, Fla. It was in 1900 that the Cheney Sponge Co. sold a million dollars' worth of sponges. By 1905. over 500 persons of Greek descent were employed in · harvesting the spon~e, an aquatic animal that clings to. ·hard objects, such as rocks or coral. Through a system of. ~hambers, the sponge mgests the plankton on which it lives. Every two ·months the growing sponge increases in diameter by half an 'inch. Between the inner and outer skins is a substance . ;:called "gurry," which · divers squeeze out of the :sponge when the sponges are gathered. The .sponges .an; then pounded and cleaned. Once on the ship, · the sponges are covered with wet burlap . sacks which releases heat to rot · the sponge's skin. What is . left is the skeleton ·of the . sponge and that is what : people have used for years · to wash their cars. · The area was first called · Tarpon Springs when resi· dents saw fish leap up out : :of the water and spray · water. The fish were actu::ally mullets and not tar· :pon.

It was said .that this sale kept Florida . from going bankrupt. : Disston developed the area · first as an exclusive resort . for other Florida millionaires. One of those persons, John Cheney, discovered that the sponges, so plentiful there, had a constructive. use. Deep sea diving equipment was developed in the early part of the 20th centu. ry, allowing diver to go down even farther to barvest sponges. It was in 1947 that five Gallipolis men formed a partnership to go into the sponge diving business at Tarpon Springs. They were Leo Whi(e, Bill . Riffle, Eugene Boster, Bob Rutherford • and Beman Fish. An unnamed backer had purchased a · $7,000 yacht to transpon· the five back and forth from the sponge field.s . In 1947, the Greeks were still the dominant divers in Tarpon Springs, with the Gallipolis group being only the second former Navy divers to join the "calling." Riffle was the most expe- • GALLIPOLIS On May I, American Cancer Society volunteers will mark "May Day for Relay," as Ohio's 217 Relay For Life events join together to paint Ohio purple and show their support for the mission of ending suffering and death due to cancer.

The Clines operate a !57acre farm in Albany that has been in the family since the late 1800s. There are three generations Jiving and working on the farm. The Clines have I00 ewes and 180 lambs a year. The farm uses many conservation practices that allow the farnil~ to raise sheep and forage With little or no negative impact to · the environment They have implemented numerous con.servation practices, including heavyuse feed pads; paddock and exclusion fencing; water systems; nutrient management; and rotational grazing. Curt has also itV,plemented precision farming by using a global positioning system that uses satellite technology for ' grid soil sampling. This allows him to apply fertilizer only where needed. The Clines have sub-tributaries to Raccoon Creek that !low through the northern Copper slides with gold, silver on profit-taking "I think we could have prices bounce back because of the potential strike in Peru," she added, June gold settled down $9.40 at $678 a troy ounce.

They have protected the creek by limititig access during the winter and controlling access on the rotaiional grazing system. The Clines manage grazing based on soil types, capacity and weather. The family has been successful with its rotational grazing. They plan to increase the !lock to 200, with half of the ewes lambing in the fall and half in the spring. The family .said that being environmental stewards w·ould allow them "to give future generations the opportunity to have a working, profitable farm in the future."

''That's what stewardship is all about - faithfully developing and using gifts, talents and resources to realize the maximum possible return on the resources that have been entrusted in one's care."

Gold and silver also fell on profit-taking. The most-active July copper contract settled down 9.65 cents at $3.5090 per pound on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The metal was also whacked lower on the London Metal Exchange on fund liquidation. "I really do think this is profit-taking," said Catherine Virga, base-metals analyst with CPM Group. "People are lotlcing in some of the gains seen in the (recent) recovery." The market may still be reacting some to the softer housing data seen in the U.S. earlier this week, she added. Yet, the severity of the decline suggests mainly profit-taking, she continued.

The Clines operate a !57acre farm in Albany that has been in the family since the late 1800s. There are three generations Jiving and working on the farm. The Clines have I00 ewes and 180 lambs a year. The farm uses many conservation practices that allow the farnil~ to raise sheep and forage With little or no negative impact to · the environment They have implemented numerous con.servation practices, including heavyuse feed pads; paddock and exclusion fencing; water systems; nutrient management; and rotational grazing. Curt has also itV,plemented precision farming by using a global positioning system that uses satellite technology for ' grid soil sampling. This allows him to apply fertilizer only where needed. The Clines have sub-tributaries to Raccoon Creek that !low through the northern Copper slides with gold, silver on profit-taking "I think we could have prices bounce back because of the potential strike in Peru," she added, June gold settled down $9.40 at $678 a troy ounce.

They have protected the creek by limititig access during the winter and controlling access on the rotaiional grazing system. The Clines manage grazing based on soil types, capacity and weather. The family has been successful with its rotational grazing. They plan to increase the !lock to 200, with half of the ewes lambing in the fall and half in the spring. The family .said that being environmental stewards w·ould allow them "to give future generations the opportunity to have a working, profitable farm in the future."

''That's what stewardship is all about - faithfully developing and using gifts, talents and resources to realize the maximum possible return on the resources that have been entrusted in one's care."

Gold and silver also fell on profit-taking. The most-active July copper contract settled down 9.65 cents at $3.5090 per pound on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The metal was also whacked lower on the London Metal Exchange on fund liquidation. "I really do think this is profit-taking," said Catherine Virga, base-metals analyst with CPM Group. "People are lotlcing in some of the gains seen in the (recent) recovery." The market may still be reacting some to the softer housing data seen in the U.S. earlier this week, she added. Yet, the severity of the decline suggests mainly profit-taking, she continued.
