"In Dubai this year I stayed, like, one hour and ·a half watching him on the driving range. Then the other day I saw him in the hotel, and we said hi." Romero grinned at the thought - a 26-year-old from Argentina who learned the ¥arne from an uncle, meetmg the best player on the planet and then playing round with him. The past few weeks have been a blur for Romero. In the final round of the British Open three weeks ago, he torched Camoustie for I0 birdies in 16 holes to take the lead with two holes loft. Finishing with a. double bogey '• and a bogey, he missed the playoff by a s~roke..

SUNDAY PUZZLER Here's where families went to eat in Gallipolis BY JAMD lANDI The recent passing of Bob Evans brings to mind the origi;ts of the large chain that now covers much of the eastern United States and how much the restaurant business has changed in the past 60 yeats in Gallipolis. Bob Evans Farms got its start in 1948 with a 12-stool diner on Eastern Avenue. According to the company history, Bob Evans remembered, "We served a lot of breakfasts, but we couldn't get any decerit sausage. So I decided to start making my own from hogs raised right on our farm, using all the best parts of the hog, including the hams and tenderloins. "The restaurant drew many truck drivers who traveled through the region. You might say the truck drivers did my research for me. They would tell me that · this was the best. sausage they had ever had, and then buy 10 pound tubs to take home." In 1948, Gallipolis had no chain restaurants. Most of the eateries were small, just like the Bob Evans one . There was the Lafa~ette dining room and Oscar s for upscale dining in 1948, but for family style dining, most people either went to the Island View Inn or the Farmers Hotel. The Island View Inn was at First Avenue and Sycamore Stre.et and was started in 1929 by Mr. and Mrs. Ira Swisher. They bought the old Betz home that had been built in 1873 by Ethanile Betz. From the beginning, guests would wait out on the porch for their turn to eat. The Swishers specialized in home cooking, Southern style. The menu included chicken and steak, white .

Cox, LSW GALUA COU NTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT Alt hough street drugs such as cocaine and Ecstasy are still a concern, prescription and OTC drug abuse by tee ns is on the rise. I recently attended a class on Prescription Drug Abuse and was very surprised at the findings. Today's teens are more likely to abuse Rx and OTC (over the counter) medications than many illegal drugs and have the misconception th;tt it's safer. There is a troubling trend now among teens called "Pharming.'' "Pharm" is short for pharmaceuticals and when one attends a ph arm party, he will blindly try different drugs and/or CO!llbinations of drugs that have been brought to the party by others. Teens will collect pills from the family medicine cabinet, from grandma and grandpa's house or the internet and bring them to the "pharm" party. One article referred to this mixture of pills and medic;ines as "trail mix." Kids have no idea how much or what they are taking and often combine the pills with pot or alcohol. In its annual study of teen drug use and attitudes, the ·Partnership for a Drug-Free America reports that nearly one in five teens (19 percent) report abusing prescription medications to get high; and one in 10 (10 percent) report abusi ng cough medicine to get high. The study also found that a key driver for abusing prescription pain relievers is their widespread availability and easy access fmding that more than three in live teens can easily get Rx painkillers from their parents' medicine cabinet. There are also many pharmacies or "pill mills" that sell prescription drugs freely on the Internet. Teens have the misconception that prescription pain relievers are less dangerous and not addictive because they are "medicine.'' Many teens don't equate taking such pills with using drugs such as heroin or cocaine. However, when · medicines are abused and used for . anything other than their intended and approved purpose, they can be every bn as dangerous as illegal street drugs. From the television ad campaigns selling anti-depressant medications, to the Internet and family medicine cabinet, the availability o( prescription drugs is an epidemic that has the potential to. far exceed the devastation societY. is being faced with already through tilegal drug u~ in the United States. With . the survey results, the Partnership for a Drug-Free America identified the main substances of concern among teens: . • Prescrir.tion (~) drugs (pain relievers, tranqUilizers, stunulants, sedatives). • OTC dru!ls (antitussives, CNS stimulants, antihistamines). . • Inhalants (inhaled fumes). • Methampheta~ine (stimulant). The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research cites the following most commonly·abused Rx drugs: • Opioids · (morphine, codeine, OxyContin, Vicodin). • Central nervous system (CNS) depressants (Nembutal, Valium, Xanax). • Stimulants (Ritalin. Dexedrine). Using drugs repeatedly over time changes brain structure and function in fundamental and long lasting ways that can persist long after the individual stops usin~ them. After a certain amount of a drug IS consumed, and that amount varies per individual. it is as if a switch in the brain is flipped from nonnal to addict. Addiction is defined as uncontrollable, compulsive drug craving, seeking and use even in the face of negalive health and social consequences. Not everyone who uses drugs becomes addicted. Some become addicted more easily and quickly ·than others, but addiction begins with a voluntary act of using/trying drugs. Once addicted, though, the once voluntary act of behavior becomes compulsive · and an addict cannot sto_P using by sheer force of will alone. This is one major reason why efforts to educate and prevent drug use are so vital. Initial drug use is a voluntary, and therefore preventable, behavior. The Partnership for a Drug-Free America concludes that the message of their campaign can be summed up in three words: Educate, communicate and safeguard. Summertime can be adventurous for kids while they are out of school and is also a time when many kids become exposed to drugs for the first time. We as parents; grandparents and those involved in a child's life need to educate ourselves concerning the medications kids are abusing. We need to be involved in and communicate with them about their activities. We need to talk with our kids and dispel the notion that medicines are safe to abuse. Lastly, the partnership suggests that we safeguard our medicmes by learning which ones can be abused, limit access to them and keep track of the-CJ,Uantities we have in our home.For more mformation, you can coniact the Gallia County Health Department at 441-2950 or the following websites: www.dea.gov; www.odadas . state . oh.us: www.nida.gov; www.drugfreeamerica.org: www.drug-rehabs.org. .

Your plants may be infected with powdery mildew, a fungal disease. that defoliates plants especially roses, phlox, dahlias, zinnias, Reiger begonias, lilacs, gerbera daisies, crabapples, deciduous azaleas, dogwood. horse chestnuts, pumpkin s, muskmelons and cucumbers. Ideal conditions exist in late July and August as temperatures are in the 80s durmg the day and fall into the 60s at night while humidity levels are high. Unlike many diseases that need free-standing water on leaves, high humidity is sufficient for disease development. The fungal disease enters living leaves and siems as a food source for its further growth. Initially, the leaf turns yellow, but soon it has the white ·powdery substance on the leaf which is the fruiting body of the fungal disease. The leaf will soon become dried out and falls off the plant. New leaves may re-sprout or the plant goes into early dormancy to sprout again next spring as woody plants. How to control or reduce powdery mildew? Increase . the amount of light on the plant. Do not plant susceptible varieties in shady areas. Purchase diseaseresistant varieties of susceptible flowers and vegetables. Space plants to improve air circulation. Clean up dead stems .and fallen leaves to reduce fungal irtnoculum. Chemicals may be applied according to label, but only after .other methods of control have been tried. Fungicides for powdery mildew include Triadimefon (Bayleton, Strike); Triflorine (Funginex), Thiophanatemethyl (Cleary's 3336) or Proptconazole (Banner). ••• It's not too late to plant a little fall vegetable garden for fresh vegetables. Seeds of beets, lettuce, spinach, kale, radishes, mustard greens and peas can all be planted and harvested before a lcilling frost arrives. Like your spring garden, find a well-drained spot with good soil. Choose a space that gets at least six to eight hours of sunlight. Some homeowners may even want to build a small cold frame to protect plants from heavy frosts. A cold frame is just a wooden frame that is 3-by6 foot or 4-by-8 foot m length covered in removable glass panes or a plastic covering. Most are 12 to 18 inches tall with a lower front panel to allow the sunlight into the frame when the sun light's rays are lower in the fall sky. Face the lower side towards the south or southwest to maximize light entering the cold frame. A cold frame design is available from our Extension office by calling 992-6696 or going on our website ohioline.com under "Home Yard" and Garden fact sheet 1013, "Cold Frame, Hot Bed Construction and Use." Enjoy your fresh, home grown gree.ns and vegetables. (Hal Kneen is the Meigs County Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator,• Ohio Stote University Extension.) " Seeded or seedless, watermelon a treat ' • I. Are seedless watermelons less sweet than seeded varieties? Actually, the opposite is usually true: Because seedJess types do not expend energy to produce seeds, the flesh is often sweeter than what you find in normal varieties. Other factors do affect how sweet that slice of watermelon will end up. Higher-than-normal rainfall (especially near harvest), wilting vines and cool temperatures all can contribute to less sugar development even in fully ripened watermelons. Unfortunately, sometimes it 's just the luck of the draw that determines whether you get · a deliciously sweet, succulent watermelon, or one with a mere shadow of the flavor you're expecting. However, there are some clues you can use to increase your odds: Lift it: Ripe melons s~ould feel heavy for their SIZe . ' ' I For uncut melons, thump the rind with your fist. If you hear a resonant, solid and dull sound, the melon is ripe. A light metallic ring indicates the melon was picked too early. If you grow watermelon in your garden, you can use this method to determine when melons are ripe for the picking. In addition, check the curly tendrils on the vine closest to the watermelon. When the fruit is mature, they tum brown and dry out. Ripe melons will develop a golden or creamy yellow spot on the side that rests on the ground. If the spot is white or green, the melon was picked too soon. Interestingly, seedless watermelons must be grown alongside seeded varieties. The seedless varieties are sterile and produce little pollen. Their blossoms must rely on the pollen from Becky NesbiH seeded types growing nearby to germinate into fruit. Growers make sure the rinds of the two types look different, so they can easily tell at harvest which are seedless and which aren't. Store uncut waterrilelon at room temperature. Last year, , researchers reponed in the Journal of Agricultural . and Food Chemistry that the lycopene content of watermelons stored at 70 degrees for two weeks increased by as much as 40 percent in some types over watermelons stored in cooler temperatures. Lycopene, found in lower amounts in tomatoes and some other fru its and vegetables, is a powerful antioxidant linked with various health benefits. However, once the melon is cut, it should be stored in the refrigerator. And before you slice into the melon, the Food and Drug Administration recommends cleaning the rind with a clean produce brush to wash away any bacteria on the outside of the fruit, to keep it from contaminating the flesh. Drying it with a clean cloth or paper towel is also helpful. · One cup of diced water· melon has only 46 calories and gives you I gram of fiber, and is a good source of vitamins A and C.

Rose and Dennis WaUace anticipated receiving 3,000 entries into the contest, each with a nonrefundable $1 00 entry fee, in order to fetch $300,000 for their farm . Since the contest began March 21, only 600 entrance fees and essays have been collected. Another 300 essays arrived without the entry fee and were disqualified. With the number of entries falling short, Rose Wallace said she's considering lowering the entrance fee or cut. ting down the number of contestants. It is not clear if the people who already submined essays will receive, refunds if the fee is reduced. "It's really going slower than anyone expected," she said, adding that the couple have received phone, calls and ecmails from contestants amdous to learn who won the property. .They are not lookin~ for a Pulitzer Prize-w1nnin~ essay, Rose Wallace said, but the couple does want to find someone who needs the farmhouse, about SO miles east of Cleveland, and will be able to take care of it. The Wallaces drew up the contest as a way to pay off their mortgage after the area's stagnant real estate market convinced them that their house might fail to sell in a traditioMI manner. A third-party agreed to judge the submmed essays. The $60,000 collected so far has been placed in a special bank account, Rose Walla~:e said.

For many vegetable growers, the real fun begins in midsummer as they shift their focus from· the garden to the kitchen. That's when families start putting their foods up, capturing the taste and nutrition of freshly picked produce by canning, freezing, pickling, curing, smoking, drying or de~y­ dratmg. "Preserving foods is not an essemial part of our life any more but it is an important part of our lifestyle," said Bobby Clark, an extension agent specializing in crop and soil sciences for Virginia's mostly rural Shenandoah County. And as much as putting up fruits and vegetables is about preserving the past along with produce, there is evidence to show there are new convens all the time especially as people worry about the origins of processed food. Clarj{ is one of the old pros, and grows tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce. onions, corn, green beans, cabbage. pumpkins and a variety of herbs in his family garden, which measures roughly 90 feet long by 60 feet wide. He selects vegetable varieties with different maturity dates so that he can harvest progressively through the growing season. He cans green beans and tomatoes, pickles some beets and makes salsa. His sons, James, age 6, and Sam, age 4, are beginning to help with the gar. den. His wife Sharon, a nutritionist, supervises the home canning operation. "It's all about family," Clark said. "The boys do some weeding when they're not running up and down the com rows. The garden is a wonderful place to spend time together." ' Although canning is labor-intensive, practitioners contend it generally results in foods that are more appetizing and less expensive than storebought. Canning is defined as a method of preserving foods so they last without refrigeration - and it is usually done with jars .. Vegetables or fruits are peeled, pared, sliced and diced, then spooned into jars and superheated to kill existing microorganisms and to f!-lfm tight vacuum seals that keep other bacteria out. These canned goods can be stored for a year or more in cool , dark areas without losing flavor, color and nutritional quality. They may even be more nutritious than fresh produce that has sat around for a long time, according to the University of Minnesota CooJ?erative Extension Serv1ce. For many people, canning brings back memories of a savory childhood when farmhouse attics were used for drying herbs, mushrooms. peppers and small, colorful ears of popcorn still in their papery husks. Tales are told about the sweet-sour smell of cucumbers or beans, carrots or caulifl\)wer soaking in a pickling brine of salt and vinegar in large earthenware crocks. Still others remember the scores o(vacuum-sealed Mason jars lining shelves and windowsills during the coldest months of the year But newcomers are also creating a market for updated methods. "New products positioned toward new consumers have . seen double-digit growth from last year," said Lauren Devine, a research and testkitchen scientist with Jarden Home Brands, in Muncie, Ind., which manufoctures the classic Ball home-canning Mascn jars. "This includes new plastic freezer jars and a new freezer-jam pectin (a natural thickener) that yields fresh , ~omemad!! freezer jam without cooking. People just don't have the time to make large batches of jam and prefer the easiest way of preparation - no cooking," she said. With smaller gard en ~ . or more- people not gardening at all but going to farmers' markets, people are also preserving in smaller batches. _ ''We are reformulating our mixes to match this smaller batch size," Devine said. referring to the packaged salsa mixes and other blends of spices that Jarden sells on its Web site.

The th,reat of deadly botulism lurks beneath every loose lid or improperly sealed jar cover. The poisonous bacterium Clostridium botulinum can survive even in cooked foods, so it's best to use a large pressure cooker for scientifically determined periods, which will vary with product and chunk size, altitude and container volume, among other things. T Temperatures should be taken to 240 For more. Most fruits and pickling vegetables high in acid or with a pH value of 4.6 or above carry less risk because their acidity prevents botulism spores from germinating. -Biker Sunday rolled for souls,A6 • Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio •1I ( I \ I ~ • \ ',I . -) · "\ 1 1 .

The department's budget has oiJ]y enough funds . for one more payroll, according to Fjscal Officer Susan Bakei. Baker told the council ~s finailce committee Fqday it must recommend to council whether tbe working hours of the administrator will be reduced in order for the office to operate longer, or whether the administrator will be laid off after Aug. 13, the day of council's next regular meeting. . Baker said . she cannot write another paycheck to Administrator Carol Cantrell after the next pay period. Reducing Cantrell's working hours from Jive days to tJu:ee days per week will allow her to work all additional six weeks based on the current departmental appropriation, but would make her ineligi· ble for health coverage. Issuing a layoff would also make fund s · available in other depanments from money appropriated for her health insurance. . "There's no money available anywhere to transfer," Chairman Ferman Moore said. Given the village's financial condition, revenue generated from · the village's one-percent income tax is vital to operations in all dep~;~nments, so issuing a layoff will not free the village from the duty of collecting the · tax.
