The top I percent of tall payers pay '37 percent of the income taxes and the top I 0 percent pays 71 percent of the income tax paid to the federal government. What does it take to be in the top 40 percent of the taxpaying households? Not as high an income as you might think. Those households have an income of more than $43 ,200 per the Congressional Budget Office. It takes $87,300 to be in the top 10 percent of households. How does this fit into life in Gallia County? Well, the average household income in 1999 was $30,191. Ten and a half percent of our population earns more than $43,200 and 5.9 percent of our households make the top ten percent in the nation, Realize that all of the tax rates above reflect only federal income taxes. The t8ll rate flattens out for our local population because of excise t8lles and sales taxes.

Please don'tfeed the tourists (Part 2 of 2 parts) It's time for Part Two of my two-part series on the exciting, dramatic and above all- tax-deductible Alaskan Adventure trip I took earlier this spring. As you recall, in Part One . I recounted the events of my first day in Alaska, during which virtually nothing happened.

This can be extremely dangerous. Polar bears are fiercely aggressive meateating hunters that weigh upwards of I,000 pounds and can nm down a horse. The only real hope I had for surviving this encounter was the fact that this particular polar bear lives in the Anchorage Zoo. Frankly, it struck me as pretty · strange that Anchorage even bothers to have a zoo, seeing as how, as I noted in Part One of this series, there are already plenty of large and sometimes hostile animals wandering around the city. You could easily have a situation where you ' d be unable to go to the zoo to see the moose or bears because there was a nonzoo, free-lance moose or IJear standing on ·your patio. Fortunately, I had no trouble getting to the zqo, and I soon found myself face to face with the zoo's star polar bear, Binky, who, .in terms of size, is basically a Winnebago motor his cage, looking a little wistful with the Australian woman's sneaker in his mouth. · Entrepreneurs put thi s image on T-shirts, which Dave still sell by the thousands, · Barry along with all kinds of other Binky merchandise.

Forty percent of the households in the United States pay 99 percent of the income tax paid in our country. The top I percent of tall payers pay '37 percent of the income taxes and the top I 0 percent pays 71 percent of the income tax paid to the federal government. What does it take to be in the top 40 percent of the taxpaying households? Not as high an income as you might think. Those households have an income of more than $43 ,200 per the Congressional Budget Office. It takes $87,300 to be in the top 10 percent of households. How does this fit into life in Gallia County? Well, the average household income in 1999 was $30,191. Ten and a half percent of our population earns more than $43,200 and 5.9 percent of our households make the top ten percent in the nation, Realize that all of the tax rates above reflect only federal income taxes. The t8ll rate flattens out for our local population because of excise t8lles and sales taxes. The lower income that a family is, the higher percentage of the total income goes to sales and ellcise t8lles and that substantially Good work Remember sacrifices ~~~~""'?.

This can be extremely dangerous. Polar bears are fiercely aggressive meateating hunters that weigh upwards of I,000 pounds and can nm down a horse. The only real hope I had for surviving this encounter was the fact that this particular polar bear lives in the Anchorage Zoo. Frankly, it struck me as pretty · strange that Anchorage even bothers to have a zoo, seeing as how, as I noted in Part One of this series, there are already plenty of large and sometimes hostile animals wandering around the city. You could easily have a situation where you ' d be unable to go to the zoo to see the moose or bears because there was a nonzoo, free-lance moose or IJear standing on ·your patio. Fortunately, I had no trouble getting to the zqo, and I soon found myself face to face with the zoo's star polar bear, Binky, who, .in terms of size, is basically a Winnebago motor his cage, looking a little wistful with the Australian woman's sneaker in his mouth. · Entrepreneurs put thi s image on T-shirts, which Dave still sell by the thousands, · Barry along with all kinds of other Binky merchandise.

After Papp's testim ony, Landis brought his first witness, Bruce Goldberger, a University of Florida professor with expertise in the kind of testing that resulted in Landis' positive urine test s. Goldberger described himself as initially reluctant lo get involved in the case. "But I saw some glaring issues with lhe way the chemistry was performed in the laboratory," Goldberger said of the French lab where the tests were done. He ·derided crossed -out and whited-out numbers on forms that documented Landis' positive test, all of which he said spoke to doubts. about the chain of custody of the samples who controlled them and what they did with them at specific times. Earlier in the week, the Landis attorneys had used cross-examination of USADA witnesses to set up these ·arguments. But . Goldberger was the first witness to connect the dots of the argument. "It's the pattern that concerns· me," he said. "I can't trust it. I think it's unreliable." As for gaps in the chain of custody, Goldberger said: 'Terrible .. Omissions in the chain of custody should demonstra<e lack .of attention." The Landis team also asked Goldberger about data from graphs that charted results from the testosterone-epitestosterone ratio tests that are used as screening tests in doping cases. Landis' "A" sample, taken after Stage 17, showed an II : I ratio, when a ratio of 4: I can be considered a positive test Goldberger s~id those graphs weren ' t accurate enough to warrant going to the more detailed carbonisotope ratio tests that found sy nthetic testosterone in Landis' urine. ''It was disgraceful.'" Goldberger said after his testimony.

After Papp's testim ony, Landis brought his first witness, Bruce Goldberger, a University of Florida professor with expertise in the kind of testing that resulted in Landis' positive urine test s. Goldberger described himself as initially reluctant lo get involved in the case. "But I saw some glaring issues with lhe way the chemistry was performed in the laboratory," Goldberger said of the French lab where the tests were done. He ·derided crossed -out and whited-out numbers on forms that documented Landis' positive test, all of which he said spoke to doubts. about the chain of custody of the samples who controlled them and what they did with them at specific times. Earlier in the week, the Landis attorneys had used cross-examination of USADA witnesses to set up these ·arguments. But . Goldberger was the first witness to connect the dots of the argument. "It's the pattern that concerns· me," he said. "I can't trust it. I think it's unreliable." As for gaps in the chain of custody, Goldberger said: 'Terrible .. Omissions in the chain of custody should demonstra<e lack .of attention." The Landis team also asked Goldberger about data from graphs that charted results from the testosterone-epitestosterone ratio tests that are used as screening tests in doping cases. Landis' "A" sample, taken after Stage 17, showed an II : I ratio, when a ratio of 4: I can be considered a positive test Goldberger s~id those graphs weren ' t accurate enough to warrant going to the more detailed carbonisotope ratio tests that found sy nthetic testosterone in Landis' urine. ''It was disgraceful.'" Goldberger said after his testimony.

Many of these activities include food sales in conjunction with fund raising events. The Gallia County Health Department .would like to remind all event organizers that if food is being offered for sale or for a mandatory donation, that a Tempomry Food Service Operation license must be obtained from the local health department. Temporary Food Service Operation lice nsing and inspections are a responsibility of local health departments to ensure the safe handling and preparation of food at facilittes that do not regularly prepare food . Even though the event may only last a few hours or a few days, food safety at a festival, or fund-raising event is just as impo)1ant to prevent food-borne illnesses as it is to a pernmnent restaurant. Poteutially hazardous foods not properly handled, stored, · cooked or prepared can result in numerous cases of food borne illness. Depending upon the specific pathogen, food-borne illness can be quite severe and some times fatal for the elderly, very young children, or immunocompromised. A food-borne disease outbr!!ak can also fioancially ruin an organization due to potential liabi·lity from an outbreak that may cause the hospitalization of numerous consumers of the food s served. However, not all temporary food sale events are requi'red to obtain a Temporary Food Service license. Ohio law does provide for several licensing exemptions for various organizations and conditions.

Many of these activities include food sales in conjunction with fund raising events. The Gallia County Health Department .would like to remind all event organizers that if food is being offered for sale or for a mandatory donation, that a Tempomry Food Service Operation license must be obtained from the local health department. Temporary Food Service Operation lice nsing and inspections are a responsibility of local health departments to ensure the safe handling and preparation of food at facilittes that do not regularly prepare food . Even though the event may only last a few hours or a few days, food safety at a festival, or fund-raising event is just as impo)1ant to prevent food-borne illnesses as it is to a pernmnent restaurant. Poteutially hazardous foods not properly handled, stored, · cooked or prepared can result in numerous cases of food borne illness. Depending upon the specific pathogen, food-borne illness can be quite severe and some times fatal for the elderly, very young children, or immunocompromised. A food-borne disease outbr!!ak can also fioancially ruin an organization due to potential liabi·lity from an outbreak that may cause the hospitalization of numerous consumers of the food s served. However, not all temporary food sale events are requi'red to obtain a Temporary Food Service license. Ohio law does provide for several licensing exemptions for various organizations and conditions.

And whil e other columnists loved to make fun of Odd, he was dearly loved by the ljlillions who read his column. Odd Mcintyre went to New York in 1912 with barely a nickel to his name. He got a job as a press agent for a hotel in exchange for free rent. He also freelanced as a publicist for various at hletes, performers and other celebrities. In time. Mcintyre began · wnllng about the New York scene and sending his column out free to various .small town newspapers ac ross America. Eventually,' Mcintyre asked for a small fee from every paper.

One item that comes up pertains 'to a Time magazine article from July 8, 1935, which told how Christopher Morley had accused Mcintyre of plagiarism. Morley held his tongue as long as Mclntyte onl) 'tole "morleyisms" for the paper, but when some of Morley 's phrases appeared in Mcintyre's book Big Town, Morley went public with the evidence. For instance, Morley had . written in one of his columns. "A sweet and dangerous opiate is Memory ... the bliss of · anxious thought." Mcintyre wrote, ·'No opiate is so deadening as memory ... the despair of anxious thought." Another Morleyism was. ·'Her hand flying merrily over the keys like a white hen picking up corn." Mcintyre wrote, "Watch my fingers fl y over the keyboard like a hen pecking up com." Also in the Time article were bits of a column by Westbrook Pegler, in which he quoted some of Mcintyre's work which Pegler said were not accurate.
