In effect, this means village taxpayers are paying $720,000 for a $2.5 million water project which began construction in January of last year. In addition to the actual plant located near the Racine Library, the project included replacing well pipe from the well field to the new water treatment plant as well as other line replacement, the installation of a water storage tank located on Greenwood Cemetery Road that holds 271,000 gallons of water, and the development of two .new water wells. Residents began utilizing water from the plant this spring. Hill estimates with the old system the pumps ran 23-24 hours a day but with the new system the average is seven to I 0 hours a day. On average, the system pumps 250 gallons per minute, averaging 120,000 gallons per day. workers complained of any ill health effects either. "It was a real minor incident," Kadlec said. "Everything's OK. It was just the right thing to do at the right time." According to Supresta's Web site, the plant, formerly owned by Akzo Nobel, produces a variety of products, including flame retardants and specialty chemicals. According to published reports, the state. Department of Environmental Protection is investigating and will take "appropriate action." When inhaled in large amounts, the leaking chemical, diphenyl chlorophosphate, can cause skin bums and eye and respiratory tract infections and irritations. and added that the awards also reflect positively on Rio Grande . "It says that we're doing a good job," he said. · He added that he posts information about this contest and other contests and scholarship programs in the fine woodworking shop and encourages students to apply. This is the first time any Rio Grande students have applied for this contest, Matson said. He added that if other students put forth the time and effort that Hedges did on their projects and then apply for contests, they will also do very well. Nelson said that the fine woodworking program is continuing to grow and receive more and more national . recognition, and these awards are another part of that experience. Hedges and Rio Grande will be mentioned in four magazines, Fine Woodworking, Popular Woodworking, News and Woodshop Woodcrafts, for the awards. Hedges explained that he worked for two months researching the type of Philadelphia Secretary desk he wanted to reproduce, and then spent about seven months building it. .It was difficult work, but the Matson and Nelson and the other students helped him tremendously, and his wife, Tiffany, and daughter, Macke nzie, 3, were very supponiv.e. Hedges hopes to eventually open his own business doing fine woodworking reproductions, and said the awards he won should help him in the business world. Before he enrolled in Rio Grande, Hedges had very little experience with fine woodworking. He had previ ously earned a master's degree and was . teaching sociology at Ohio University. "It was just a paycheck for me," Hedges said. He decided he wanted to do something with his career that he really want~d to do, so he took on the challenge of going back to school so he could learn about fine woodworking.

This week the police department in New Haven, Connecticut issued a memo ordering officers not to cooperate with Homeland Security on enforcing warrants for illegal immigrants. This follows New Haven's distribution of ID cards to illegals so they can access city services. This, of course, is outrageous and verges on anarchy. New Haven officials have violated Federal Statute 1373(a), and if Attorney General Gonzales still has an office, he should prosecute them. But he won't. And President Bush will remain mute as well. The president could urge Congress to cut off federal f~Jnding to New Haven and every other municipality that violates federal immigration law, but, again, that will n~ver happen. Every politician child rape charge, Vena cut his bail in half, allowing Carranza to walk free. Three months later, police say Carranza executed three college students in a Newark schoolyard by shooting them to death. Because Newark is a Sanctuary City, no official not ified Homeland Security (ICE) about Carranza. Had llley . done so, the feds could have detained Carranza the moment he walked out of Judge Vena's courtroom. There are many villains in this dreadful story. If convicted, Carranza is obviously an animal. Judge Vena may have the deaths of three people on his conscience. New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine and Newark officials are apparently fine with criminal aliens running around because they support the "Sanctuary" policies. Americans are rightfully confused as to how all of this can be happening. We have immigration laws in place, yet New Haven, Newark and scores of other Bill O'Reilly . knows that calling for tough action against illegal immigration will ' bring accusations of bigotry. The so called "Sanctuary City" policies of cities like New Haven, New York, Los Angeles; Houston, and on and . OJt- . have now become life and death issues, not simply ideological defiance. Let's take a look at what happened in the Sanctuary City of Newark, New Jersey. Jose Carranza, an illegal from Penl, was known on the streets as a very bad dude. A\lthorities knew it as well because Carranza was charged with raping a 5-year-old' girl and assaulting four adults. · Nevertheless, when Carranza appeared before Judge Thomas Vena on the &unbap Q!:imrB' -&rntintl • PageA5 · Obituaries places will not obey them. And nothing happens to the scofflaws. Following that logic, why should any law be obeyed? The brutal . truth is that three young Americans are dead in Newark because irresponsible politicians and a stupid judge would not protect them. Thousands of Americans have been killed by illegal aliens, and the only thing that can stop the madness is a public outcry because our politicians are too cowardly to crack down. We the people have to demand action. But will we? (Veteran 1V news anchor Bill 0 'Reilly is host of the Fox News show "The O'Reilly Factor" and author of the book "Culture Warrior.

"I didn' t know what to teU them. I dido 't know if I was pitching well · because when they hit the ball hard it went right to somebody.

Rafael Perez and Rafael Betancourt combined for two scoreless innings before Joe Borowski pitched the ninth for his 34th save in 38 opportunities.

Both runs went against Edwin Jackson (3· 12), who ~ave up seven hits in six mnings. He struck out four and walked five for Tampa Bay, which is 13-35 since June 25. "It was one of those days where you've just got to dig real deep because you don' t have vour best stuff,'' Jackson said. ''Damage control." ·cleveland, which stnmded 14. runners, loaded the bases with two outs later in the second inning, but, failed to capitalize when Victor Martinez grounded out. Tampa Bay scored in the fifth on Carl Crawford's runscoring single, but Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore prevented a big inning by making a diving catch on B.J.

Japan ( 1-0) hadn't playt;d a game since July 21 and looked a little rusty before the offense kicked in. The Pabao Little League team from Curacao (0-1) isn't a slouch either. A team from that league has qualified for the series seven straight years, winning a title in 2004. A team from Maricaibo, Venezuela is playing in the series after a seven-year absence. That last squad in 2000 won the title. This year's tea111 is off to a good start after Miguel Romero doubled home Alberti Chavez with two outs in the bottom of the sixth for Venezuela ( 1-0). Venezuela starter Ronny Mejias stuck out nine and allowed a hit but was forced to leave in the bottom of the fifth after throwing his 86th pitch due to a new pitch count rule. Mejias struck out his last batter, but reliever Bryan Charry allowed an RBI single later that inning to Kai-Ying Chen to tie the game 1-1 for Taiwan (0-l). "Mejias definitely have continued to pitch if it wasn't for the pitch count," Venezuela manager Jesus Paez said through interpreter Luis Sanchez. No such controversy in the nightcap. when Warner Robins bats surported an effective outing from Clint Wynn in the victory over Lake Oswego (0-1 ). Warner Robins ( 1-0) was aggressive on the ba.-;epaths, t:iling advantage of passed balls, throwing errors and a couple other miscues from Oregon to get an 8-0 lead by the third inning. Zane Conlon had two RBI doubles, but misplayed a grounder at shortstop in the sixth that allowed a run to score and extend a late rally as Oregon pulled to within 94.

One of them said the Atlanta Falcons quarterback helped drown or hang dogs that dido •t do well. With his NFL career in jeopardy and a superseding indictment adding more charges in the works, that left Vick with a hard choice: Cutting his own deal to hold jail time under a year or go to trial and sit through detailed descriptions of the ghastly operation known as "Bad Newz Kennels." Falcon s owner Arthur Blank said Vick's attorneys were negotiating with prosecutors as of late afternoon, trying to hammer out a plea deal. "It seems to be a pretty clear indication there will be some sort of plea entered," Blank said before the Falcons preseason game at Buffalo. "When? I'm not positive." Quanis Phillips of Atlanta and Purnell Peace of Virginia 6each entered plea agreements and agreed to testify against Vick. A third member of the dogfighting ring, Tony Taylor, struck a similar deal last month.

Falcons owner Blank shocked by latest developments in Vick case ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Falcons owner Arthur Blank accused Michael Vick of lying to him and the NFL after,one of the NFL star's co-defendants said Friday that the quarterback .took part in drowning and hanging dogs that dido' t perform well. "What's suggested in tho~e statements . of fact ·don t match up w1th what the league was told, even our organization and certainly not what was said to the commissioner," Blank told The Associated Press before Athinta's preseason game against Buffalo. Blank's response came after two co-defendants in the federal dogfighting conspiracy case pleaded guilty earlier Friday, with one saying Vick helped in . · killing dogs. "It's sad that those ailegations exist and now they are confirmed by others," Blank said. "It's sad that Michael has put himself into that kind of situation.

Kurt Busch. 2.529 the last race went, this is how the next race might go. But, when they leave and come out to the racetrack, they're kind of on their own.'' Both teams have done a decent job in the absence of their leaders. Gordon. leading the season standings, has posted top- I 0 finishes in all six races and increased his points lead over runner-up Denny Hamlin from 171 -after NA:SCAR docked both Gordon and Johnson I00 points for "Fender-gate" - to 344. Johnson ha,sn't been quite as fortunate. He was fourth, 366 behind his teammate after the points deduction. Heading into Sunday's event - one of four races left before the 12man field for the Chase for the championship is set Johnson is seventh, 595 points behind Gordon, who has already clinched a spot in the postseason. There's little chance Johnson will miss out on the Chase, since he is still 356 points in front of 13th-place Ryan Newman. But momentum is key heading into the stock car playoff. Crashes in consecutive races at Chicago and Indianapolis relegated Johnson to finishes of 37th and 39th and seriously ,slowed his team's progress. But he has righted the ship, finishing ftfth at Pocono and third .at Watkins Glen. · Since the crew chiefs were suspended only from coming to the tracks, Knaus and Letarte were able to take the . lead in repairing Johnson's battered cars. "We wrecked two of my favorite cars, which really broke my heart," Knaus said. "The car we destroyed in Chicago had only finished outside the top five once, I think, in 12 races it ran. "But, with the help of everyone at Hendrick Motorsports, we · actually took that car, which was a · pile of rubble when we got home, we put a new front clip on it, a new rear clip and a complete body." The team plans to run that car in two weeks at California Speedway. Johnson appeared reliev.ed to have Knaus, the only crew chief he's had in his s1x seasons in Cup, back at the track. "We're very proud of the team and the effort we've put out through all of it, but there's no doubt that we've been less of a team without Knaus at the track," the driver said. Neither one of the crew chiefs .was repentant about the technical violations that prompted the penalties. "I'm sorry for what happened but, for the reason that 11 happened, I'm not sorry because what we did was not something that we thought was bad," Knaus said. "We didn't feel like we were breaking the rules. "I don't feel any regret, remorse or anything like that. Am I sorry I missed the races? Am I sorry that l wasn't there? Absolutely.... But regret or remorse, no, that's not even an option." Letarte said he too is just ready to move on. Pilot declared smoke emergency before NASCAR plane crashed ~n Florida, killing 5 SANFORD, Fla ..

Air traffic controllers in Orlando responded with "Roger, you can land ·any runway ill Sanford. They know you're coming." It's not clear if the men, Micl!ael Klemm and Dr. Bruce . · . . .

Gallipolis won II to 0. That score carne about because in 1903, touchdowns counted for 5 points. The article stated that "Ashland's fine back Record, was laid out during the first half, by a kick in the head and was not able to play any more d11ring the whole game." The Holmes mentioned here was undoubtedly Harry N. Holmes, who from 1899 to 1903 was a teacher at both Gallia Academy and later Gallipolis High School. He became by far the most famous referee to ever appear in Gallipolis, but his fame was not from football. Holmes was born near New Kensington, Pa., in 1879 and graduated from Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pa., in 1899. Following graduation, · he moved to Gallipolis, where he was the teacher of Odd Mcintyre. In fact, Holmes later remembered that Odd was one of his favorite students. Holmes left Galllpolis about 1903 to attend John Hopkins University where in 1907 he was awarded a Ph.D. in chemistry. From 1901 to 1914, Dr. Holmes was a professor of chemistry at Earlham College in Richmond, Ind. It was in 1914 that Oberlin College offered Dr. Holmes the position of chairman of the Chemistry Department, a position he war, to hold until 1945, when he retired . • Dr. Holmes' contribution toward the field of chemistry was enormous. According to his obituary in the New York Times in 1958: "He was the first chemist to introduce the laboratory technique of chromatography in this country. The technique is. used to separate closely . related chemicals in com, plex mixtures. "Dr. Holmes did extensive research with colloids, substances too small to be seen through even the most powerful microscopes. Colloids, grains, drops, bubbles, filaments and films are particles 125 millionths of an inch in diameter." Some of Dr. Holmes' research later lead to increases in the .food and fuel supply of the world. In a Time magazine article of 1942 it says, "Dr. Holmes, president of the American Chemical Society and head of Oberlin's chemistry department, has long worked on Vitamins and body chemistry, and was the first to isolate pure Vitamin A in crystalline form." But he was best known for his work with Vitamin C. It was found that an . intravenous injection of one gram in solution for shock can have positive effects. This technique was used by the U.S. Army during World War U. He also believed that Vitamin C could be used in wound healing, in insomnia, and in the treating of wo~kers exposed to toxic dusts. 1 According to Dr. Holmes, it happens that during certain stress times in the body, the levels of Vitamin C go down. At the same time, histamine levels go up. If histamine and Vitamin C are introduced to bubbling air in the labo-. ratory, ammonia is pro- duced and thus lessening the harmful effects of too histamine. much Presumably he concluded the same thing goes on in the body. Vitamin C pills taken orally would balance out the harmful effects of the histamine. Of courSe, this was a beginning of creating ways to control too much histamine in the b9dy. Researchers h;l.Ye gone way beyond the Vitamin C course to artificial medicines in controlling histamine production, especially in the treatment for allergy suffers. In 1914, Dr. Holmes authored a college textbook on chemistry that was used across the country for some years. He went on to write II more textbooks as well as the first chemistry lab ma'nual and a history of chemistry. In 1951, he was awarded the Gold Medal by the American Institute of Chemists. During the 1920s, Dr. Holmes gave numerous lectures in Europe. But it is interesting that for many years Dr. Holmes, along with his wife would drive down to Gallipolis from Oberlin just to refresh very pleasant memories of teaching in the Old French City. In fact, a Dec. 26, 1940 edition of the Gallipolis Daily Tribune tells all about one such trip. That piece tells how Dr. Homes had sent over 300 persons into Chemistry careers. Among his former Oberlin students were Dr. Robert Hutchins, later president of the University of Chicago, and famous writer Thornton Wilder.

This time of year, grocery · stores and farmer's markets offer a wide variety of tasty greens. If you want to keep your meals interestinl',leave the iceberg or romame lettuces behind and tum a new · leaf in your salad-making. Here are some popular nonlettuce salad greeris, with a bit of information about each. Spinach. Spinach sold in the produce section tends to • be the young, tender leaves · perfect for salads. Spinach has a mild flavor and .is a good source of vitamins A, C, E, K and B6; folate and riboflavin; and calcium. iron and several other minerals. Arugula, This leafy gre~;n · is a member of the mustard family and a relative of the radish, and it carries a strong flavor sometimes described as "pe~pery," "pungent" or "zesty. ' The smaller, younger leaves tend to be a bit more mild. It's a good source of iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. Radicchio. This member of the chicory family looks : a bit like red and white cab:· bage. Radicchio can be bit. ter but mixes well with other greens and offers variety in flavor and color. Unlike other greens, it's not a good source of vitamin A, calcium or iron but does off1:r vitamins C, E and K; . folate; and some potassium, : . copper and manganese. : : Endive. Several types of · · endive, another member of ; the chicory family, are • available. Curly endive has : yellow"green curly leaves. : Belgian endive is almost : white and grows as a small, ~ elongated head. Escarole has broad· leaves - its outer, darker leaves are names new patient representative Becky Nesbitt more bitter than the inner pale leaves. Endive is a good source of vitamins A, C, K, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, pantothenic acid, calcium. iron, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese. Watercress. The small, deep-green leaves of watercress have a peppery or spicy flavor - again, a good item to mix with milder-tasting greens. It's often used as a garnish (whatever happened to parsley?) but try 11 on sandwiches as well as salads. It won't give you iron, but you'll get a good dose of vitamins A, C, E. K. and B6; thiamin and riboflavin; and calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and manganese. If you still can't decide, a good source of information - with color photos to help you identify the greens - is offered by Colorado State University Extension at . http://www.ext.colostate.ed u.

Her own mother had spent seveial months in such a facility, and it seems Ms. Kessler has some guDt and unfinished mourning to deal with. She did not have a good relationship with her mother, either before or after the Alzheimer's diagnosis. . She worked as a resident assistant for minimum wage and did the bathing, toileting, comforting and feeding all the other RAs did. She came to admire the residents and understand the lives they have carved out for themselves. "Maplewood" is a fictional name, but becomes very real to the reader. Each section of the home is a "neighborhood" with 14 rooms with private baths. There is Marianne, fonner · college administrator, who thinks of her room as her office and dresses for success. There is Hayes, in his 90s, very vocal and demanding, a Fonner engineer who wants to know every step of every process he is undergoing. There is Rose, who wanders from other "neighborh()9ds" and picks up clothing, knick-knacks, anything not nailed down and carries it off. She has great admiration for the women who work there, including the sunny activities director. There is rapid turnover among the RAs, who seldom last more than three months . When you see how hard they work and how little they make, no wonder! It is difficult both physically and mentally. Each resident becomes an individual to Lauren. They are people with a terminal disease, most of them make the best of their diminished abilities, living in the moment. No past can be remembered, no future can be imagined,.but enjoyment comes in a cup of ice cream, a sing-along, a party, a hug. Kessler may change your perception of Alzheimer's. She sees it not as the worst thing that can happen. She says," I now think I'd rather spend my waning days l':'alking around clueless, holdmg a chocolate chip cookie in my hand, being hugged by b!g pillowy women than lymg m a hospital bed hooked up to IV s, alert, cognizant, with every memory intact." She definitely has a point.

Beverly Gettles My own mother has Alzheimer's and has been in a facility for nearly three years. They take excellent care. of her. I have become acquamted with several of the folks who have been there for some time, a few for five years or longer. Most adjust pretty well and have friendships and look forward to activities. So, I am changing m~ own opinion of Alzheimer s. There are worse fates. One can be concerned for the families , because as the disease progresses, it seems they suffer more than the patient, who becomes largely unaware and unconcerned. What's so terrible about spending your last days without a worry in the world except what some011e else if fixing for dinner? Michael Ondaatje is best known as the author of The English Patient. He was born in Sri Lanka and.now lives in Canada. Divisadero, his latest novel, begins in Northern California, where a father lives with his two teenage daughters, Anna and Claire, who was adopted. The father also took in Coop, whose mother died in childbirth, as did the father's wife. , Anna begins an affair with Coop, now age 20 and living in a cabin on the ranch. The father discovers them one day and attempts to kill Coop. He bundles Anna into his truck and drives her away from the ranch. At a truck stop, she hitches a ride with a trucker and disappears. Eventually, Coop becomes a professional poker player, meets Claire again, and the story moves to Las Vegas. Anna finds her way to France, where she is researching a book about a writer from an earlier time. Part of the novel tells . the story of that man, Lucien Segura, and his starcrossed life. This is a beautifully crafted story with many twists and tW1ls. It is about family bonds and how easily they break, about relationships sometimes so severely damaged they cannot be repaired.

GALLIPOLIS - From. Baroque to Broadway and from goblins to Christmas cheer, jom the Ohio Valley Symphony for the 2007-08 subscription season. · . The 18th season of southeast Ohio's only professional orchestra lights the stage of the historic Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre in downtown Gallipolis for five programs - all under the dtrection of music director Ray Fowler - that will stir your emotions and fire your imagination. All concerts take place place on Saturdays at 8 p.m. in the Morris and Dorothy Haskins Theatre of the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre at 426 Second Ave., Gallipolis. You'll hear young and .exciting guest artists ranging from Broadway's Mark Me Vey to award-winning Canadian-Korean cellist Soo Bae and pianist Lori Sims. They' II bring to life beloved, familiar music by favorite composers from the 17th through the late 20th century. _ McVey joins the OVS on Oct. 6 foF "Broadway and Beyond," a season-opening ~ tribute to America's own music: Broadway. He and the orchestra will perform songs by some of the stage's greatest composers • in works from the Great White Way's Golden Age and its current heyday. From Irving Berlin to Andrew Lloyd Webber, from Leonard Bernstein to Richard Rodgers, audiences will leave the Ariel humming such classics as "All the Things You Are," "Anything Goes," "Music of the Night," "One," "Somethings Coming" and "The Way We Were." Let your Halloween last - at least until Nov. 3, when the OVS offers a night of "Ghostly Hallows," music that will send more shivers down your spine than a chilly November night. Venture onto Bald Mountain to sneak a peek at a witches' sabbath in Modest Mussorgsky's classic tone painting, so real that Walt Disney chose it for the original "Fantasia." Alfreq Hitchcock would smile at his TV theme song, "Funeral March of a Marionette" by Charles· Gounod. The program also · includes .excerpts from Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" in their spectacular orchestrations by Maurice Ravel.

CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC "Superbad" has been so super-ubiquitous, it only feels like it's already been in theaters for months. Between the posters, TV commerCials and promotiona1 appearances by its stars, the hype machine has been in full force. Just ask anyone under 25 who McLovin isthey'IJ immediately be able to tell you. And the association with "Knocked Up," one of the summer's biggest hits and one of the best comedies in a While, certainly doesn't hun. Judd Apatow, who wrote and directed that film, serves as producer here; Seth Rogen, tts star, co-wrote the "Superbad" script and has a supporting role as a hilariously inept police officer. But "Knocked Up" is a hard act to follow, so the smartest thing you can do for yourself W!!lking into "Superbad" is lower your expectations. It has all the · laughs of its predecessor but only about half the heart. Still, co-stars Jonah Hill and Michael Cera are pretty irresistible together as high school best friends on a quest for alcohol, which they hope will help them hook up with girls at a big party before they graduate. The sweetness and awkwardness Down on the Farm, Page D2 . Meigs Fair Scenes, Page D6 .

Then, the VS warms you up with a variety of your favorite modern holiday carols and s~ngs. In spring, it's not just a young man's thoughts that turn to romance. Join the OVS and pianist Lori Sims on March 29, 2008, for "The Romantics," a program of titans of classical music. Triumph meets tragedy in two pillars of symphonic music as Sims solos in Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, and Fowler leads the orchestra through Tchaikovsky' s final masterpiece, the Symphony No. 6, "Pathetique." . Soo Bae helps the OVS celebrate the end of the season May 3, 2008, performing Robert Schumann's soulful Concerto for Cello and Orchestra. Fowler then brings the year to a sunny, rousing end with Johannes Brahms' massive Symphony No. 2. Season tickets are $100 and senior citizens are $90. Student tickets are $50 or the entire family can purchase a season ticket for $275. Select balcony tickets with limited leg reom are available for $50.

Since then, Sims has won numerous prizes and medals for her work. Her 2000 debut at Alice Thlly Hall (N.Y.) earned rave reviews from The New York 'Times.

His theatrical performances have taken hiin both on- and off-Broadway in hits such as The Who's "Tommy" and . . "The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public." Movie review: Hill and Cera are hilarious in the relatable teen romp 'Superbad' BY of their freakishly co-dependent relationship is totaJJy believable, and their personalities and coinic styles complement each other beautifully. Not a moment between them feels false in the script from Rogeri and Evan Goldberg, themselves best friends since high school who based the movie on their own adolescent an1;1sl. But Christopher MmtzPlasse,asanevengeelderkid who gets a fake ID with the one-word name McLovin, pretty much steals the whole thing in his first fllm. Initially you think he's going to be a minor figure, a guy who floats in and out, gets tooled on for laughs and then leaves. But similar to the respectful treatment Steve Carell received in Apatow's "The 40- Year-Old Virgin," Mintz-Plasse's scrawny, bespectacled Fogell has a rich, full experiem;e all his own - mu~h more so than other characters in the movie · who kid . themselves by thinking they're higher up on the food chain. Director Greg Mottola is visiting familiar territory here - the high school hijinks movie has been a stapie from "American Graffiti" to "American Pie" - but everyone is relatable and the situations rarely feel strained, which makes "Superbad" a cut above most. thoughtful and more timid. He's had a longtiffi$: crush ' on classmate Becca (Martha Macissac), a girl who's nice enough to give him the time of day, unlike most, and who might have a secret crush on him, too. Cera is probably 'best known ·for playing the lovably goofy George-Michael Bluth on the sadly defunct sitcom "Arrested Development." Here, his self-conscious starts and stops reveal more than a few glimmers of his TV character, and while he's funny and extremely likable in that mode, he also 't-'1Jakes you want to see what he can do.

They can do that. However, please keep . in mind that an interlocking floor can be only as smooth as the surface on which it lies. Also, the claim of ease of installation should not be take n literally. There is more to installation and lasting quality than these companies often say. Our comments on some of those tyfes of claims: • "Instal your patio in an afternoon no tools needed." Thi s may be true for a limited number of the world's patios, but in most instances tools are required. If the assembled tiles don't perfec tly match the dimensions of the patio you will need to at least trim the edge tiles. calling fur a hand or power saw, a measuring tape and a pencil, as a minimum. • "Carpentry ski lls no t necessary." You may not need to be a full -blown trades person to do this work; interlocking tiles are do-it-yourself friendly. But you will need some mechanical aptitude. • "No surface prep!" Thi s would be true on ly if the patio or floor to - be covered were in perfect condi ti on. If so, why would you want to cover it? Be prepared for some preparations. surface Smooth in the beginning is smooth at the end. • "The most cost-effecti ve concrete-tloor res urfacin g option." We agree with this clai m. Rubber and ti le also are good options. • 'Ti les can be disassembled and take n with you·if you move. " If you were to mo ve in 6 months, maybe. But what about in I0 years when they are all scarred and scratched? Will you want to take them with you then? • "Just wash with a garden hOse or just sweep clean' " For a patio thi s technique makes a lot or sense. Of course, it would be better for the life of the wood if you got down on your hands and knees and did it with a soft cloth and an oilbase cleaner. So the lesson is to use some common sense when planning th is project. just as you wo uld with any other major home improvement. Interlock ing tiles and planks arc the rage and they are beaut iful and long-lasting. both inside the home and out. At the hardware show we saw ceramic tile on an inter locking hardboard base. needing no gro ut an d no glue . Installation is nwch easier. but cull ing and trimming are still in the equation. Remember: If you know what you wi II have to contend with before you begin a project. each home improvement you do will be a much happier experience.

Publishing ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER •. Debbie Pifer's family has seen its share of droughts during the 80 years they've been growing fruits and vegetables. But given a choice between too much or not enough rain, she' II take the"dry weather every time. "There's a lot of upsides to a real dry year," said Debbie Pifer, a third-generation operator of White House Fruit Fann in Canfield in northeast Ohio. Farm markets and produce stands around the state are bursting with sweet corn, peppers and melons despite the dry weather that has blanketed most of Ohio. Most produce growers around the state irrigate their fields, allowing them to still have a nice' crop this year - although at a higher cost. Farmers who grow huge fields of soybeans, corn and wheat rely on rain and are in much worse shape. The dry conditions help produce growers because the sugars in melons and com aren't diluted with water. "We have some of the best testing produce we've had in years," said Brad Bergefurd, a horticulturist with Ohio State University's extension service. LIVESTOCK REPORT Feeder Cattle-Steady/Lower Cows-Steady ' Farmers fear impact for their livelihood of federal illegal immigrant crackdown Bv JULIANA BARBASSA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER SAN FRANCISCO With fruit rotting in fields, unmilked cows suffering in barns and shuttered farmhouses, growers are painting a bleak picture of their industry under new federal immigration policies. Following the Bush administration announcement that employers who knowingly keep undocumented workers will be held liable under a new enforcement push, many growers said their businesses would be hardest hit. Particularly vulnerable would bt; fruit operations that are now hiring thousands of seasonal workers in preparation for the peak harvest months of July through September. The measure is to take effect in mid-September. Andy ·Casado Jr. is a California farm labor contractor with nearly &00 workers who also grows and ~acks fruit himself. "I m guessing SO, 90 percent of the ag work force is illegal," he said. "Implementing this rule will be catastrophic." While it's long been illegal to hire anyone not authorized to work in the United States. farmers take their chances that documents presented by the 1.6 million farrnworkers around the country are valid, said Howard Rosenberg, a farm labor at the University of California. Think tanks that oppose illegal immigration praised the move, hoping it will turn off the job magnet has attr!lcted new immigrants. To farm workers, though, it's just another etfort by the government to look good at the expense of the people who hold down the hardest and lowest paid jobs in the country. "There's always more pressure on the immigrant community," said fann worker Gerardo Reyes of Immokalee, Aa. "We're making sure food gets to everyone's tables." Farmers and farmworkers agreed raising the stakes could hurt everyone. "We're going to face firing employees whether the documents are wrong or right with no one to fill those positions," said J. Allen Carnes, president of Winter Garden Produce in Uvalde, Texas. Carnes said he's already suffered worker shortages during the last few years because of tightened border security. Steve Pringle, legislative director for the Texas Farm Bureau, said the Bush administration's move forces employers into an impossible position. "Either you obey the law and you watch your crop rot in the fields or you attempt to try to get the crop out and run the risk of being hit by the federal government," he said. Because tighter enforcement could hurt agriculture, Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez has said the Labor Department will work to streamline the existing temporary worker program, which allows farmers to apply for foreign workers. But farmers were more skeptical of what could be achieved under a program they consider bureaucratic and expensive. Casado, the California contractor, recently took a seminar on the program. "I learned a lot, but one of the things I learned is that I can't do it myself," he said. About 70 growers gathered this week in Fresno, · deep in California's agriculturdl Central Valley, to discuss options, share doomsday scenarios, and shake their heads in frustration. The state picks, racks and ships about half o the vegetables, n1.1ts and fruits grown in the U.S. every year. Growers rely on 225,000 year-round employees, and twice that many in summer. Keeping track of people who presented questionable papers weeks or months earlier in an industry where there's much worker mobility is beyond the scope of what farmers should . be exR.ecled to do, they said.

(AP) -Asian soybean rust, a fungus that can wipe out a field of soybeans if uncontrolled, has been found in fields in Mississippi. Lee Taylor, a retired employee of the Mississippi State Extension Service, found the first signs of the rust on Aug: I 0 in Pearl River County, which borders Louisiana in the state's southwestern comer. Two days later, Tom Allen, a plant pathologist, found the disease on soybeans in Stoneville in Washin~ton County in the Mi ss iss1~pi Delta. ExtensiOn personnel continue to scout ~lots and commercial fields m Mississippi for signs of rust They have not found additionill occurrences. The fungus also has been confirmed in commercial fields in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. The northwest region of Mississippi produces more than 80 percent of the lltate's soybean crop. Experts said more than SO percent of Mississippi's soy· beans are past the most susceptible sta~e for soybean rust devastation and that hot daytime temperatures and · dry conditions projected during the next week will slow the disease's progression.
