In the meantime, do you have any grandparents or uncles with whom you feel comfortable and who could become father figures to you? You might also discuss this with your mother and your school counselor. Sometimes it helps to have a sympathetic ear close to home.

' 214.21 Sunday, December 9, 2007 GUEST VIEW Think bifore you speak about bridge disaster BY RONDA SIMS DIXON · Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Diane Hill Controller PageA4 Thi s is in reference to the article by the Gallia County Historical and Genealogical. Society. I am the daughter of Ronald Sims. My father lost his life on the Silver Bridge when it collapsed. He left behind two daughters a son, a wife, a mother, sisters and many more family members. Every December for 40 years we are publicly · reminded of this, like we are going to ever forget. Like anyone else who has lo st so meone, you will remember . but try not to dwell on it. But instead we get it thrown at us from newspapers, TV, and now a Christmas decoration. How morbid can we get? You're not honoring the people who died, you're showing pictures of the bridge that killed them. How about an ornament with all their nan\es on it? If your child died in a car wreck, would you hang a picture of the car on your tree? Would you want articles on TV and the .newspapers discussing all the gory details? Believe me, we think about our loved ones' last minutes alive. We will always wonder what the'y were feeling, thinking, or did they suffer long? Things we will never know. The only thing these reminders bring about are . thoughtless comments like "Oh, I was almost on itt " We have to just smile and nod while really thinking, "But you weren't ~ere you? Lucky "you." How about the one who says. "Oh, bridges scare me. I hold my breath and hold on tight!" Believe me, that's not going to help you out any. How about showing some respect for the families that are here now and will be for many years. Think before you speak. What would really be nice is an article about the terrible tragedy that had to happen before anything was done to the bridge. Was it because of money? Was it all about politics? Was the government afraid to stand up and do something ? This is what people need to remember and never let happen again. People should be ashamed and embarrassed that so many people had to die for something to change. How about an article about how many letters and red tape my mother had to write and go through to get them to keep dragging the river, or about the weird people who would tell her "Oh, I saw your husband walking in downtown Huntington. Maybe he is working undercover for the government." My father's body was not found until July. Imagine the uncertainty and · hell my mother and family had to go through. If there has to be articles and ornaments, how about honoring all the divers and workers who had to do a gruesome task in the freezing cold? Or how about all the groups, organizations and friends who brought food and toys to the families? Or Goodyear for continuing to send paychecks to the families until death certificates could . be issued? There are a lot more things to remember besides how close you were to being on it. What it sounded like when it fell, or how it made you afraid of bridges - please don 't belittle the tragedy that it was. I realize it's not done intentionally. Just stop and think about the lives that were forever changed and the sorrow they · have before you say or do anything involving · such a huge disaster. My . intention for writing this letter is not to condemn or bel it: tie anyone, it is just to finally tell the public that the things that. they say and do may have more of an affect on the "families" than they realize.

HIS OPPONENT HAS MUCH BETTER PUNCH LINES. • AlFRMIN ~R U.S SENATE /It[ 'tl tt *rtf RALLY Mona Hatfield Melvin E. Gatewood Nora Lee thomas TODAY I (cough) was a teenage smoker! As a ranking national opinion-maker (currently in I ,539th place), I would like to do my part to get teenagers to stop smoking cigarettes . Ready? Here goes: You teenagers stop smoking right now! t There! Did that do the trick? I didn't · think so. Your modern teenager is not about to listen to advice from an old person, defined as "a person who remembers when there was no Velcro." I can understand this. I was a young person once, shortly after the polar ice caps retreated, and I distinctly recall believing that virtually all adults were clueless gophers. Exhibit A: their hats. If you young people look at photographs taken 35 or 40 years ago, you will note that the adults, no matter how nice the weather is, are wearing major , formal headgear - for the men, the serious Mr. Businessman model, the kind of hat that makes everylxxly who puts one on , including Boy George, look like the late Fred MacMurray; for the women, all kinds of comical, ottoman-sized fashion contraption s, sometimes festooned with enough artificial f11,1its and vegetables to feed an artificial family of four. Osbome Dave Barry We young people were not inclined to take advice from people who voluntarily looked like that. So we tended to ~isregard their rules. of whtch there were many. For example, in those days,. there was a rule that you absolutely had to wait for one full hour after eating before you could go swimming, because otheFwise· you would \let a cramp and drown. Thts rule was strictly enforced by wristwatch-wearing moms. Apparently, there was a required course in Mother School wherein leading medical authorities showed, with diagrams, thai if a person were to eat a single saltine cracker and then wait -only 59 minutes before going into the water, this person would instantly cramp up and drown, even if the water were only ankle deep. . Naturally, we young people broke this rule every chance we got. I will reveal here, for the first time, that on one occasion. when I was approximately 9, Neil ing until dawn .

' 214.21 Sunday, December 9, 2007 GUEST VIEW Think bifore you speak about bridge disaster BY RONDA SIMS DIXON · Ohio Valley Publishing Co. Diane Hill Controller PageA4 Thi s is in reference to the article by the Gallia County Historical and Genealogical. Society. I am the daughter of Ronald Sims. My father lost his life on the Silver Bridge when it collapsed. He left behind two daughters a son, a wife, a mother, sisters and many more family members. Every December for 40 years we are publicly · reminded of this, like we are going to ever forget. Like anyone else who has lo st so meone, you will remember . but try not to dwell on it. But instead we get it thrown at us from newspapers, TV, and now a Christmas decoration. How morbid can we get? You're not honoring the people who died, you're showing pictures of the bridge that killed them. How about an ornament with all their nan\es on it? If your child died in a car wreck, would you hang a picture of the car on your tree? Would you want articles on TV and the .newspapers discussing all the gory details? Believe me, we think about our loved ones' last minutes alive. We will always wonder what the'y were feeling, thinking, or did they suffer long? Things we will never know. The only thing these reminders bring about are . thoughtless comments like "Oh, I was almost on itt " We have to just smile and nod while really thinking, "But you weren't ~ere you? Lucky "you." How about the one who says. "Oh, bridges scare me. I hold my breath and hold on tight!" Believe me, that's not going to help you out any. How about showing some respect for the families that are here now and will be for many years. Think before you speak. What would really be nice is an article about the terrible tragedy that had to happen before anything was done to the bridge. Was it because of money? Was it all about politics? Was the government afraid to stand up and do something ? This is what people need to remember and never let happen again. People should be ashamed and embarrassed that so many people had to die for something to change. How about an article about how many letters and red tape my mother had to write and go through to get them to keep dragging the river, or about the weird people who would tell her "Oh, I saw your husband walking in downtown Huntington. Maybe he is working undercover for the government." My father's body was not found until July. Imagine the uncertainty and · hell my mother and family had to go through. If there has to be articles and ornaments, how about honoring all the divers and workers who had to do a gruesome task in the freezing cold? Or how about all the groups, organizations and friends who brought food and toys to the families? Or Goodyear for continuing to send paychecks to the families until death certificates could . be issued? There are a lot more things to remember besides how close you were to being on it. What it sounded like when it fell, or how it made you afraid of bridges - please don 't belittle the tragedy that it was. I realize it's not done intentionally. Just stop and think about the lives that were forever changed and the sorrow they · have before you say or do anything involving · such a huge disaster. My . intention for writing this letter is not to condemn or bel it: tie anyone, it is just to finally tell the public that the things that. they say and do may have more of an affect on the "families" than they realize.

As a ranking national opinion-maker (currently in I ,539th place), I would like to do my part to get teenagers to stop smoking cigarettes . Ready? Here goes: You teenagers stop smoking right now! t There! Did that do the trick? I didn't · think so. Your modern teenager is not about to listen to advice from an old person, defined as "a person who remembers when there was no Velcro." I can understand this. I was a young person once, shortly after the polar ice caps retreated, and I distinctly recall believing that virtually all adults were clueless gophers. Exhibit A: their hats. If you young people look at photographs taken 35 or 40 years ago, you will note that the adults, no matter how nice the weather is, are wearing major , formal headgear - for the men, the serious Mr. Businessman model, the kind of hat that makes everylxxly who puts one on , including Boy George, look like the late Fred MacMurray; for the women, all kinds of comical, ottoman-sized fashion contraption s, sometimes festooned with enough artificial f11,1its and vegetables to feed an artificial family of four. Osbome Dave Barry We young people were not inclined to take advice from people who voluntarily looked like that. So we tended to ~isregard their rules. of whtch there were many. For example, in those days,. there was a rule that you absolutely had to wait for one full hour after eating before you could go swimming, because otheFwise· you would \let a cramp and drown. Thts rule was strictly enforced by wristwatch-wearing moms. Apparently, there was a required course in Mother School wherein leading medical authorities showed, with diagrams, thai if a person were to eat a single saltine cracker and then wait -only 59 minutes before going into the water, this person would instantly cramp up and drown, even if the water were only ankle deep. .

W.Va. - Over 20 workers were let go from one plant in Point Pleasant after· it closed its doors for good to consolidate with the main one located in Ohio. Stover Industries closed its Tool and Machine division on Nov. 23 and moved all of the equipment to its main plant in Delaware, Ohio. ., "The bank closed the plant," · Dan Bloom, spokesman for the FOmpany, said. "We moved the equipment." · Bloom said the Point Pleasant plant was losing money and was not economically viable .for the company to keep open. "There was just not enough volume coming out of that plant," he said. A few of the 21· employees have been working at the Delaware plant but oth. ers have decided to take their unemplo)lment benefits and re-education courses, he said. Ground for the plant was broken in early 1999; it opened for business in late 1999 ro early 2000. Bloom said. The employees were kept on the job with the Friday after Thanksgiving being their last day. All employees were given a full week's pay as well. The 50,000 square-foot facility was constructed in the Mason County Industnal Park along W.Va. 62 north of Point Pleasant and was to create as many as l 00 jobs. Stover Industries manufactures and supplies precision-manufac. tured parts for the automotive, aerospace and elec- Ironies industries. But, Bloom said during the time'it was in operation, there was no demand for the products the Point Pleasant plant was producing.

The · other, the one that truly hurts, was the loss of senior Cole Jones, who left the game with an injury early in .the Jones second quarter. Galli a Academy (2-l, l-1) did not have an answer for ·the relentless pressure created by the Cavaliers or the. impact of Jones ' departure, though the night started with promise for the home team. The Blue Devils junior varsity team held off Chillicothe 49-46 in a thriller eltrlier . m the evening, and the varsity team appeared capable of doing the same. After Chillicothe scored the first four point\ of the game, Gallia Academy responded with the next three. By the end of the quarter, the Blue Devils would have the lead, largely· because . of seniors Jones and David Rumley. · Jones sank both his free throws; his only two points on an all-too-brief night. Rumley had five points, also going 2-of-2 from the line. The ·score after one was 9-8. But . any momentum gained from an up-tempo first quarter left when Jones went down with injury. Less than a minute into the second and with the score still · 9-8, Chi llicothe guard Anthony Hitchens drove the lane and Jones stepped up to draw a charge.

Despite a high-powered second half that saw the Lady Knights outscore visiti ng Wayne 34-21, an extremely sluggish stan allowed Wayne to build an early lead that proved too much to overcome as the Lady Pioneers kept PPHS winless on the young season with a 53-46 victory in the Cardinal Conference opener for both schools. · The Lady Pioneers had a 19-4 advantage in the first quaner and used a 15-0 run that spanned two frames allowing WHS to jump out by as manv as 23-4 before the Lady Kflights managed to stop the bleeding. · By then, however, the detic.jt wa~ too great. Wayne held PPHS to another single. digit quaner in the second while putting up 13 of its own to take a 32- 12 lead into the break. During the first 16 minutes Wayne mtmaged to get six different players into the scoring column with Tasha Adkins and Alex Amorim scoring I 0 points apiece in the ppening two quaners. Adkins and the rest of her teammates also managed to come up with several steals,for easy baskei,S in the tirst half. Point Pleasant, on the .other hand. couldn't get anything to fall for a second straight game. The Lady Knights shot 19 percent from the floor in their season opener .and. although they shot a little better Friday night, they still had trouble scoring. And a lot of those missed shots directly resulted in Wayne points in tmnsjtion. Still. despite the big deficit. the Lady Knights did not quit. In the second half Point Pleasant came out on tire, scoring the tirst six points and outscoring Wayne .11 -7 in the third fmme to trim the lead to 39-23. With the lead cut to 16. PPHS put 10gether a viscous full coun press and the Lady Knights came to life. Led by Anna Sommer and Devin Cotri ll, PPHS cut the lead to si ngle digits for the first time since the opening minutes at 41-32 with live minutes to play. With a chance at the lead within its gr<Lsp, Point Pleasant came to life over the'· final four minutes cutting the lead to six at the closest, but the Lady Pioneers managed to do just enough to keep the gap at two possessions or more. Wayne again extend~d the lead to ,10 with 2:10 left to play and the two teams traded possessions over the next· minute, forcing the Lady Knights tu send Wayne tu the foul line. Although the Lady Pioneers strUggled from the line, shooting just .4 1 percent ( 16-of-39) on the night, they hit the shots when needed while keeping Point Plea~ant from scoring to hold on for the 53-46 victory. Ovemll PPHS outscored the visitors 23- 14 in the final frame with Sommer putting up nine points and Cotrill adding eight. Sommer not only provided a spark on the scoreboard in the second half, sco1ing 16 of her game-high 2c points, ,but on defense as well. She forced half a dozen steals in the tinal quaner, setting her team up tor the late rally. But the slow tirst half proved the difference. Wayne finished the night with three players in double ligures with Adkins lead.ing the way. She had 14 points and seven steals. while Tamcka Walker posted I 0 points and five rebounds and Amorim had I 0 points. Stacy Hooks had · eight points, five boards and four steals.

Sunday, December 9. 2007 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis 2007 LOCAL/NATIONALSCOREBOARD Lady Knights drop another shocker, lose to·Wayne BY LARRY CRUM LCRUM@MYDA.ilYREGI STER.CO M POINT PLEASANT Another slow stan netted another negative result for the Point Pleasant girls basketball team Friday nig)ll . Despite a high-powered second half that saw the Lady Knights outscore visiti ng Wayne 34-21, an extremely sluggish stan allowed Wayne to build an early lead that proved too much to overcome as the Lady Pioneers kept PPHS winless on the young season with a 53-46 victory in the Cardinal Conference opener for both schools. · The Lady Pioneers had a 19-4 advantage in the first quaner and used a 15-0 run that spanned two frames allowing WHS to jump out by as manv as 23-4 before the Lady Kflights managed to stop the bleeding. · By then, however, the detic.jt wa~ too great. Wayne held PPHS to another single. digit quaner in the second while putting up 13 of its own to take a 32- 12 lead into the break. During the first 16 minutes Wayne mtmaged to get six different players into the scoring column with Tasha Adkins and Alex Amorim scoring I 0 points apiece in the ppening two quaners. Adkins and the rest of her teammates also managed to come up with several steals,for easy baskei,S in the tirst half. Point Pleasant, on the .other hand. couldn't get anything to fall for a second straight game. The Lady Knights shot 19 percent from the floor in their season opener .and. although they shot a little better Friday night, they still had trouble scoring. And a lot of those missed shots directly resulted in Wayne points in tmnsjtion. Still. despite the big deficit. the Lady Knights did not quit.

BY JEFF UTZKE ASSOCIATED PRESS NORMAN, Okla. - The last time Oklahoma took a trip to the Fiesta Bowl, the Sooners got to see an unexpected attraction: the Statue of Liberty. Underdog Boiie State emptied its bag of tricks to beat Oklahoma in an exhilarating 43-42 upset in January: a hook-and-ladder to force overtime, a wide receiver pass to tie the game in the extra period and the Statue of Liberty play on a 2-point conversion to win it . For some Sooners, the game that became an instant classic still holds some sting as they prepare to return to Arizona to face No . II West Virginia (l 0-2). "When we went and played against Boise State, we weren't really on ,the top of our game and we let one slip away," linebacker Curtis Lofton said Friday. "We've just got to go back and erase all that. It's a new year and it's a different team." Coach Bob Stoops said he considered the loss easier to take because it wasn't for the Big 12 o'national championship. Boise State JUmped out to a quick 14-0 lead and then squandered an 18-point advantage before rallying late. . "They made some great plays at the end and we weren't far off. it wasn'tlike we were sitting there out to lunch on anything," Stoops said. "They just caught us and the timmg for some of them was perfect. They played well enough early and we made some mistakes early that we got in a hole that was really hard to get out of. We thought we had. and they made some plays at the • Page 85 end. That \ the way it goes." Lofton said he thought the Sooners showed character with their comeback, and he doesn't have any lingering regrets. " I don't think I'll be telling my kids, 'l was there and we lost,· or anything like th at,'" said Lofton , the Bi g 12 defensive player of the year. ·•fi was a great game and it 's going to go down in history, and that's pretty much it."

"Obviously, it can't be really good," New York Mets manager Willie ·Randolph · said. "If there's some .really, really big names I'm sure it's going to be a real impact in some ways." Outfielders Jose Guillen and Jay Gibbons, linked in media reports to receiving human growth hormone, were suspended Thursday for the first 15 days of next season. The penalties are an indication how baseball might treat any players named by Mitchell. Although some say Bonds' home run recordand milestone ball- should be marked with an asterisk, Mitchell noted the Hall of Fame vote in which Mark McGwire was picked on just 23.5 percent of ballots, nowhere near the 75 percent needed for induction. That election in January was considered the first test on how history will view a period when bulked-up stars amassed bulked-up slats. "If nothing else, the results of the Hall of Fame voting last week, and the reaction to it, offer fre sh evidence that this issue will not just fade away," Mitchell said then. "Whether you think .it fair or not, whether you think it justifiecl or not, · Major League Baseball has a cloud over its head, and that cloud will not just go away."

"If it's not some huge name, they don't even pay attention anymore." Said Milwaukee manager Ned Yost: "I don't care one way or the other, to. be honest with you."

When the Heisman Trophy winner is announced Saturday night, let's hope he really is the best player in college football this year and not just a guy who had the right birthdate. Yoo can make . several arguments for why Tim Tebow shouldn't winDarren McFadden, Chase Daniel and Colt Brennan, to name three - but the fact Florida's quarterback is only a sophomore shouldn't be one of them: The Heisman Trophy was created to recognize "the most outstanding . college football player." Voters' ballots state candidates must be students at an accredited college or university, and that they must meet the NCAA:s definition of a ,student-athlete. 'Notice there's not a word in there about being an upperclassman or an offenSIVe player. Yet in 72 years, the Heisman has never gone to a freshman or a sophomore. Only 16 juniors have won. Just once has a primarily defensive player taken it home. The most talented player in the country is the most talented player in the country, ·regardless of how old he is ·or where he lines up on the field. And it's about time plist time, really - that Heisman voters acknowledge that. "He has done things that no one else in college fOQtball has been able to do," Florida to last year's Southeastern Conference championship game or puts together its finest season in years if ·not for McFadden.

The Hei sman is supposed to be for overall excellence, the player who is the best college football has to offer. Is Tim Tebow that player? Maybe, maybe not. But heand every other underclassman who comes after him should be judged by what he docs on the field, not when he was born. Because age really is only a number.

BY JEFF UTZKE ASSOCIATED PRESS NORMAN, Okla. - The last time Oklahoma took a trip to the Fiesta Bowl, the Sooners got to see an unexpected attraction: the Statue of Liberty. Underdog Boiie State emptied its bag of tricks to beat Oklahoma in an exhilarating 43-42 upset in January: a hook-and-ladder to force overtime, a wide receiver pass to tie the game in the extra period and the Statue of Liberty play on a 2-point conversion to win it . For some Sooners, the game that became an instant classic still holds some sting as they prepare to return to Arizona to face No . II West Virginia (l 0-2). "When we went and played against Boise State, we weren't really on ,the top of our game and we let one slip away," linebacker Curtis Lofton said Friday. "We've just got to go back and erase all that. It's a new year and it's a different team." Coach Bob Stoops said he considered the loss easier to take because it wasn't for the Big 12 o'national championship. Boise State JUmped out to a quick 14-0 lead and then squandered an 18-point advantage before rallying late. . "They made some great plays at the end and we weren't far off. it wasn'tlike we were sitting there out to lunch on anything," Stoops said. "They just caught us and the timmg for some of them was perfect. They played well enough early and we made some mistakes early that we got in a hole that was really hard to get out of. We thought we had. and they made some plays at the • Page 85 end. That \ the way it goes." Lofton said he thought the Sooners showed character with their comeback, and he doesn't have any lingering regrets. " I don't think I'll be telling my kids, 'l was there and we lost,· or anything like th at,'" said Lofton , the Bi g 12 defensive player of the year. ·•fi was a great game and it 's going to go down in history, and that's pretty much it." While Lofton started and recovered a fumble in that game, many of the key play ers on thi s year 's thirdranked Oklahoma squad had Iittle or no control over that Fiesta Bowl loss. Quarterback Sam Bradford, the nation's top-rated passer, and defensive end Auston English , the Big 12 sacks leader, were both redshirtin g. Receiver Malcolm Kelly was injured early and mi ssed most of the game. While others may see it as a game for the ages, the Sooners would just as soon forget that they were ever a part of it. Oklahoma ( 11-2) earned its second straight Fiesta Bowl berth by beating No. l Missouri 38-17 in the Big 12 title game, and Stoops campaigned afterward that the Sooners deserved a chance to play for the national championship. Most of those hopes fizzled after a 34-27 loss at Texas Tech on Nov. 17, when Bradford suffered a first-quarter concussion. Bowl officials Fiesta extended an invitation to Oklahoma in its locker room after the Big 12 championship and it became official the following day when Ohio State and LSU were got the nod to play in the BCS title game.

Players also claim Mitchell refused to show those accused the e"vidence against them, denying them a chance to refute the allegations. For now, Selig claims not to know what's· inside the repon. Suffice to say, midway between Boston wrapping up the Fall. Classi~ ~nd the start of spnng tramtng, there are plenty of jittery people around the majors. "Obviously, it can't be really good," New York Mets manager Willie ·Randolph · said. "If there's some .really, really big names I'm sure it's going to be a real impact in some ways." Outfielders Jose Guillen and Jay Gibbons, linked in media reports to receiving human growth hormone, were suspended Thursday for the first 15 days of next season. The penalties are an indication how baseball might treat any players named by Mitchell. Although some say Bonds' home run recordand milestone ball- should be marked with an asterisk, Mitchell noted the Hall of Fame vote in which Mark McGwire was picked on just 23.5 percent of ballots, nowhere near the 75 percent needed for induction. That election in January was considered the first test on how history will view a period when bulked-up stars amassed bulked-up slats. "If nothing else, the results of the Hall of Fame voting last week, and the reaction to it, offer fre sh evidence that this issue will not just fade away," Mitchell said then. "Whether you think .it fair or not, whether you think it justifiecl or not, · Major League Baseball has a cloud over its head, and that cloud will not just go away." To some, the drumbeat of suspicion is falling on deaf ears. "Now when it comes out, more people seem to be numb to 1t," fonmer New· York Yankees star Don Mattingly said this week. "If it's not some huge name, they don't even pay attention anymore." Said Milwaukee manager Ned Yost: "I don't care one way or the other, to. be honest with you."

When the Heisman Trophy winner is announced Saturday night, let's hope he really is the best player in college football this year and not just a guy who had the right birthdate. Yoo can make . several arguments for why Tim Tebow shouldn't winDarren McFadden, Chase Daniel and Colt Brennan, to name three - but the fact Florida's quarterback is only a sophomore shouldn't be one of them: The Heisman Trophy was created to recognize "the most outstanding . college football player." Voters' ballots state candidates must be students at an accredited college or university, and that they must meet the NCAA:s definition of a ,student-athlete. 'Notice there's not a word in there about being an upperclassman or an offenSIVe player. Yet in 72 years, the Heisman has never gone to a freshman or a sophomore. Only 16 juniors have won. Just once has a primarily defensive player taken it home. The most talented player in the country is the most talented player in the country, ·regardless of how old he is ·or where he lines up on the field. And it's about time plist time, really - that Heisman voters acknowledge that. "He has done things that no one else in college fOQtball has been able to do," Florida to last year's Southeastern Conference championship game or puts together its finest season in years if ·not for McFadden.

College basketball gets that. The player of the year last season? A freshman, Kevin Durant. The bias against defensive players is outdated, too. The defense is no longer a bunch of big guys who do little more than block the offensive line.

But heand every other underclassman who comes after him should be judged by what he docs on the field, not when he was born. Because age really is only a number.

BY JAMES SANDS Wrestling was a big thing in Gallipolis m 1933 and 1934 as the town had three venues for the sport. In warm ·weather, one could see wrestling at the Silver Bridge Arena and at the Holmes Arena. Both of these places were open air theaters of the grunt and groan, the ftrst was located by the Silver Bridge and the sec- · ond one was at the comer of Pine Street and Vinton Avenue (across from the old stockyards). In cool weather, "rasslin "' fans could go to the Libby Arena. located in the garage of the Libby Hotel. Perhaps the greatest match in that era took place in the Libby Arena between Nick Bozinis and Ray Carpenter. It was the third match between the two famous wrestlers. Carpenter · was . from Lancaster, Ohio, and at one time was the world champ. In a heavily publicized match in 1930 for the World · Middlewei~ht Wrestling championshtp, Carpenter lost his crnwn to Gus Kallio. Carpenter had wrestled the likes of Bronko N agurski, Stanislaus Zbysko and the great Lou Thesz, as well as the famous Japanese wrestler, Tarro Miyake. Nick Bozinis was the partner of the most famous wrestler of that era, Strangler Lewi s. It was Lewis who developed the so called "sleeper hold," used by so many wrestlers' over time. Lewis was the world heavyweight champion ftve times in the 1920s. · It was in 1934 that Strangler Lewis met Jim Londos in Wrigley Field in Chicago before 35,265 fan s BY GWEN McGRAW, RN CHILD AND FAMILY HEALTH SERVICES PROJECT DIRECTOR GALLIA COUNTY HEAlTH DEPARTMENT a ••• will be held at 6:30 p.m. It's sad to see animals suf- Thursday at the Racine Post, fer, particularly when some- and anyone ·interested is one deliberately causes an ·1nvited to attend.

BY JAMES SANDS Wrestling was a big thing in Gallipolis m 1933 and 1934 as the town had three venues for the sport. In warm ·weather, one could see wrestling at the Silver Bridge Arena and at the Holmes Arena. Both of these places were open air theaters of the grunt and groan, the ftrst was located by the Silver Bridge and the sec- · ond one was at the comer of Pine Street and Vinton Avenue (across from the old stockyards). In cool weather, "rasslin "' fans could go to the Libby Arena. located in the garage of the Libby Hotel. Perhaps the greatest match in that era took place in the Libby Arena between Nick Bozinis and Ray Carpenter. It was the third match between the two famous wrestlers. Carpenter · was . from Lancaster, Ohio, and at one time was the world champ. In a heavily publicized match in 1930 for the World · Middlewei~ht Wrestling championshtp, Carpenter lost his crnwn to Gus Kallio. Carpenter had wrestled the likes of Bronko N agurski, Stanislaus Zbysko and the great Lou Thesz, as well as the famous Japanese wrestler, Tarro Miyake. Nick Bozinis was the partner of the most famous wrestler of that era, Strangler Lewi s. It was Lewis who developed the so called "sleeper hold," used by so many wrestlers' over time. Lewis was the world heavyweight champion ftve times in the 1920s. · It was in 1934 that Strangler Lewis met Jim Londos in Wrigley Field in Chicago before 35,265 fan s BY GWEN McGRAW, RN CHILD AND FAMILY HEALTH SERVICES PROJECT DIRECTOR GALLIA COUNTY HEAlTH DEPARTMENT a ••• will be held at 6:30 p.m. It's sad to see animals suf- Thursday at the Racine Post, fer, particularly when some- and anyone ·interested is one deliberately causes an ·1nvited to attend.

Elevation Church, in Indian Trail, N.C., and nearby New Birth are combining their respective rock and gospel traditions for a massive Christmas "worship experience" at a Charlotte arena. , "Every Sunday we utilize a lot of technology.

They' re hiring a production company to bring in state-of-the-art soun'd and lighting. They'll project blended images across three video screens. "It'll feel like a rock concert in there," Joye said.

That can come m handy at the holidays. "Because they've had to outfit these venues with · technology, it's lending itself to contemporarizing their Christmas productions," Coppedge said.

BY RICHARD STEPHENS The agricultural landscape of today is very different than it was 20 years ago. Farms today are getting fewer in number and the ones that are left. are growing in acreage. · However. there is a small group that is growing rapidly. The "Small Farmer" is a term used for individuals who are practicing agriculture on a very small amount of acreage, usually under I 00 acres. These farmers are many times new to agriculture and are looking to begin a different lifestyle. These farmers are profiting from niche and direct marketing strategies. Are you a small farm landowner wondering what to do with your acreage? Are you interested in exploring options for land uses but not sure where .to turn or how to begin? Have you considered adding an agricultural or horticultural enterprise but you just are n't sure what is required,. from an equipment, labor, and/or management · perspective? Are you looking for someplace to get basic farm information? If you or someone you know answered yes to any of these questions, then the OSU Extension Small Farm College program may be just · what you are looking for.OSU Extension is offering a program targeted at the new and small farmer. The Southern Ohio New and Small Farm College is an eight-week program that introduces new and even seasoned farmers to a wide variety of topics. The pro-· gram will teach participants how to set goals, plan, budget and where to find resources available for them if they chose to start a small farming operation. , The course will lay•·out how _to manage financial and farm records. Extension ,Educators will illustrate over 15 different enterprises that .can be profitable on land as small as one acre. The educators will show the benefits and pitfalls of each enterprise so that the participant will be able to pick and ~hose what may work best for them and what suits their interest. To round out the experience, a bus tour will be held around area farms so that participants can see first hand how small farm life works, and · also make contacts of practicing farmers in the area. The New and Small Farm College will be held at the University of Rio Grande campus on Tuesdays beginning Jan. 22. Individuals interested in the program may contact the Gallia County Extension at 4467007. Brochures for the program will begin circulatmg soon. Along with the vast resources and know led~e gained, participants' wtll receive a notebook of all resouroe materials, a soil test, refreshments and the bus tour. If you are new to farming, or are looking at starting a farming enterprise, this course would be the first step in becoming a better farm manager and agriculturalist. (Richard Stephens is the Gallia County Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator, Ohio State UniversiJy Extension.) California's wine,grape harvest dragged on a bit but ends up slightly from 2006 lev~ls Bv MICHELLE LOCKE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BERKELEY, Calif. Fluctuating temperatures have made for a slow-andgo wine grape harvest iii California this year. The weather warmed up in August, bringing an early start to the picking season, and for a while it looked like harvest would be a speedy session. But temperatures cooled in September, . extending the season as growers waited for grapes to ripen. "It ended up being a fairly lengthy harvest, Jetting us pick on a slow pace through the first part of November," said Fred Holloway, winem,aker at Justin Vineyards'& Winery in the Central Coast region. "It was kind of a laid-back harvest." With picking beginning in August, "it was kind of the harvest that. wouldn't end," said Nick Frey, president of the Sonoma County Winegrape Commission. Harvest ended in a bit of a riish for some growers who had to hustle to get the last of the grapes in before the · rains came. Still, the cool harvest temperatures gave the fruit Jongl!r to mature, producing morl! intense flavors, he said. "I think it will be a good vintage," said Frey. "It won't be a huge vintage, but I think the winemakers are justifiably excited . about what's in the tank." · Overall, the crop was lighter than nonnal, according to a release issued Monday by the San Francisco-based Wine Institute. The institute, the lobbying arm of the industry, said the latest forecast from the California Department of Food and Agriculture is for a crop of 3.2 million tons, up slightly from last year's 3.1 mill ion tons. The two years of lighter crops follow a bumper ~arvest in 2005 that resulted in a crush of 3.7 million tons. ••• HARVEY, N.D. Record crop prices cotn-' bined with average or better yields have produced one of the best years for North Dakota ·farmers in decades. But commodity prices are not the only thing on the rise. "People see the higher grain prices, but the~ aren't seeing the higher pnces we pay for our inputs;" said Harvey farmer Robert Yolk. "Inputs" is a catchall word farmers use to describe production costs such as fuel and fertilizer. Fuel prices have soared this year, and officials say fertilizer such as nitrogen is poised for a· substantial price hike by next spring. Kent l\fcKay, an•agronomist at the North Central Research Extension Center, said he still does not anticipate a big shift away from cereal grains such as wheat, North Dakota's main crop, though some oilseeds might be replaced by crops such as peas and lentils that put nitrogen back in the soil. "We will have an interesting winter ahead, and acre intentions will shift a number of times these next few months," McKay said: In the meantime, farmers are enjoying a profitable ·year. For example, an average acre of North Pakota wheat · this year grossed about .$240, twice that of 2006, based on average September prices for the two years. . "It's a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence," Robert Carlson, president of the North . Dakota Farmers Union, said · of the combination of good . prices and yields. The surging farm profits also will help local merchants. "We'll definitely see guys updating their machinery," said Greg Wiest, a. manager at Gooseneck Implement in Harvey. - bers will be working to see that our goals are met." The policy sessions at Ohio Farm Bureau's annual meeting were preceded by months of research and discussion done b~ county Farm Bureaus, mdividual members and the state policy development committee. The policies will direct OFBF leaders, volunteers and staff as they represent Farm Bureau's interests with . government officials, the public and other audiences. The fuod labeling discussion centered on the need to maintain freedom of choice for farmers and consumers. OFBF believes farmers should be free to utilize production technologies that are proven safe; consumers should have a choice to buy foods produced with those technologies. · Delegates approved a variety of ideas to deal with the ongoing problem of Ohio's deer population. Among the concepts Farm Bureau will explore is the establishment of an abatement program targeted at losses created by deer and other wildlife. "While the public benefits from hunting fees and tourism dollars associated with wildlife, many of our members are bearing an unfair share of the costs associated with an overly abundant wildlife population," said Keith Stimpert, OFBF's senior vice president of public policy. Deer and other wildlife are responsible for damage to grain and forage crops, nursery pll\nts and orchards that is estimated in millions of dollars every year, according to Stimpert. Three hundred and thirtyfive dele~ates representing all 88 Oh1o counlies participated in the business sessions." More than I, 100 members, dignitaries and guests attended OFBF's 89th annual meeting. Ohio . Farm Bureau is the state's iargest general farm organization with more than 230,000 members across the · state, including nearly 60,000 farmers. Its mission is to forge a partnership betw~;en farmers and consumers. GALLIPOLIS Sleepy Hollow Farm, Gallipolis, is ~ new member of the American Angus Association, reports John Crouch, executive vice president of the national breed registry organization in St. Joseph, Mo . . The . American Angus Association, with more than 36,000 active adult and junior members, is the largest beef cattle registry Association in .the world. Its computerized records include detailed information on nearly 16 . million registered Angus. The association records lincestral infonnation and keeps production records on individual animals for its mem!)ers. These pennanent records help members select and mate the best animals in their herds to produce high quality, efficient breeding cattle which are then recorded·with the 1\inerican Angus Association. Most of these registered Angus are used by the U.S. farmers and ranchers who raise high quality beef for U.S. consumption. • Pomeroy • MlddlepQrt • Gallipolis, OH • Pt. Ple!Jsant, WV sunday, December 9. 20~17 m:rtbune - Sentinel - l\e BY HAL KNEEN There are a variety of evergreen trees bein~ used for the famil'y Chnstmas tree. The Christmas tree can be a pine, spruce or ftr tree. There are some important considerations when selecting one of these trees. These include foliage color and density, needle len~th and retention, stem strmghtness and shape and also stem strength for holding those precious family tree ornaments. If you want to avoid a mess in the Jiving room, it is important to know if the tree you buy has good needle retention. Scotch pine, blue spruce, Douglas fir, balsam fir, Fraser fir, Canaan fir, and white pine are very ~opular trees sold for Chnstmas. They will vary in their. appearance and needle retention. The Scotch pine is the most popular tree for Christmas sold in Ohio. The foliage varies in color, needle strength and straightness. Needle retention is excellent. The Scotch pine is available in almost all Ohio markets. The spruce includes Norway and blue spruce or Colorado spruce. They have fairly short needles which vary in color from green to bluish green. Needle retention does not equal Scotch and white pine, but is acceptable. The blue spruce is available in ·most markets and is often bought as a live balled tree to be transplanted in the yard after the holidays. The Douglas fir has fairly short needles with a bluish green coloration. It is rated very high as a fine looking Christmas tree. Needle retention is excellent, but the price of this tree can be expensive. The balsam fir has a pleasant tree odor, reminds · you of that old fashioned Christmas. The needles are usually short and rounded on the tips. The Fraser fir or southern balsam is an extremely attractive tree. The needles are darker green than balsam fir and have prominent white bands underneath. The three firs have good needle retention and produce an excellent tree when properly pruned. White pine has long needles which are fine, silky in texture and bluish green in color. Since thi s tree produces delicate slender limbs, it must be closely pruned to produce a Christmas tree shape which will hold tree decorations. When properly P,runed, it makes a most impressive Christmas tree. If you purchase a balled Jive Christmas tree, place it in a tub which will hold soil ar.d water. Water the tree daily as needed. If this iree is to be planted in the yard, have the hold dug as soon as possible. Cover .the hold to prevent it from filling with water and to avoid accidents. Do not keep the tree too long in the house: the buds may start to open and this will kill the tree if placed outside in this condition. It is recommended that a balled Christmas tree be kept in the house ·a very short time.Plant it outside as soon as possible.

BY RICHARD STEPHENS The agricultural landscape of today is very different than it was 20 years ago. Farms today are getting fewer in number and the ones that are left. are growing in acreage. · However. there is a small group that is growing rapidly. The "Small Farmer" is a term used for individuals who are practicing agriculture on a very small amount of acreage, usually under I 00 acres. These farmers are many times new to agriculture and are looking to begin a different lifestyle. These farmers are profiting from niche and direct marketing strategies. Are you a small farm landowner wondering what to do with your acreage? Are you interested in exploring options for land uses but not sure where .to turn or how to begin? Have you considered adding an agricultural or horticultural enterprise but you just are n't sure what is required,. from an equipment, labor, and/or management · perspective? Are you looking for someplace to get basic farm information? If you or someone you know answered yes to any of these questions, then the OSU Extension Small Farm College program may be just · what you are looking for.OSU Extension is offering a program targeted at the new and small farmer. The Southern Ohio New and Small Farm College is an eight-week program that introduces new and even seasoned farmers to a wide variety of topics. The pro-· gram will teach participants how to set goals, plan, budget and where to find resources available for them if they chose to start a small farming operation. , The course will lay•·out how _to manage financial and farm records. Extension ,Educators will illustrate over 15 different enterprises that .can be profitable on land as small as one acre. The educators will show the benefits and pitfalls of each enterprise so that the participant will be able to pick and ~hose what may work best for them and what suits their interest. To round out the experience, a bus tour will be held around area farms so that participants can see first hand how small farm life works, and · also make contacts of practicing farmers in the area. The New and Small Farm College will be held at the University of Rio Grande campus on Tuesdays beginning Jan. 22. Individuals interested in the program may contact the Gallia County Extension at 4467007. Brochures for the program will begin circulatmg soon. Along with the vast resources and know led~e gained, participants' wtll receive a notebook of all resouroe materials, a soil test, refreshments and the bus tour. If you are new to farming, or are looking at starting a farming enterprise, this course would be the first step in becoming a better farm manager and agriculturalist. (Richard Stephens is the Gallia County Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator, Ohio State UniversiJy Extension.) California's wine,grape harvest dragged on a bit but ends up slightly from 2006 lev~ls Bv MICHELLE LOCKE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BERKELEY, Calif. Fluctuating temperatures have made for a slow-andgo wine grape harvest iii California this year. The weather warmed up in August, bringing an early start to the picking season, and for a while it looked like harvest would be a speedy session. But temperatures cooled in September, . extending the season as growers waited for grapes to ripen. "It ended up being a fairly lengthy harvest, Jetting us pick on a slow pace through the first part of November," said Fred Holloway, winem,aker at Justin Vineyards'& Winery in the Central Coast region. "It was kind of a laid-back harvest." With picking beginning in August, "it was kind of the harvest that. wouldn't end," said Nick Frey, president of the Sonoma County Winegrape Commission. Harvest ended in a bit of a riish for some growers who had to hustle to get the last of the grapes in before the · rains came. Still, the cool harvest temperatures gave the fruit Jongl!r to mature, producing morl! intense flavors, he said. "I think it will be a good vintage," said Frey. "It won't be a huge vintage, but I think the winemakers are justifiably excited . about what's in the tank." · Overall, the crop was lighter than nonnal, according to a release issued Monday by the San Francisco-based Wine Institute. The institute, the lobbying arm of the industry, said the latest forecast from the California Department of Food and Agriculture is for a crop of 3.2 million tons, up slightly from last year's 3.1 mill ion tons. The two years of lighter crops follow a bumper ~arvest in 2005 that resulted in a crush of 3.7 million tons. ••• HARVEY, N.D. Record crop prices cotn-' bined with average or better yields have produced one of the best years for North Dakota ·farmers in decades. But commodity prices are not the only thing on the rise. "People see the higher grain prices, but the~ aren't seeing the higher pnces we pay for our inputs;" said Harvey farmer Robert Yolk. "Inputs" is a catchall word farmers use to describe production costs such as fuel and fertilizer. Fuel prices have soared this year, and officials say fertilizer such as nitrogen is poised for a· substantial price hike by next spring. Kent l\fcKay, an•agronomist at the North Central Research Extension Center, said he still does not anticipate a big shift away from cereal grains such as wheat, North Dakota's main crop, though some oilseeds might be replaced by crops such as peas and lentils that put nitrogen back in the soil. "We will have an interesting winter ahead, and acre intentions will shift a number of times these next few months," McKay said: In the meantime, farmers are enjoying a profitable ·year. For example, an average acre of North Pakota wheat · this year grossed about .$240, twice that of 2006, based on average September prices for the two years. . "It's a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence," Robert Carlson, president of the North . Dakota Farmers Union, said · of the combination of good . prices and yields. The surging farm profits also will help local merchants. "We'll definitely see guys updating their machinery," said Greg Wiest, a. manager at Gooseneck Implement in Harvey. - bers will be working to see that our goals are met." The policy sessions at Ohio Farm Bureau's annual meeting were preceded by months of research and discussion done b~ county Farm Bureaus, mdividual members and the state policy development committee. The policies will direct OFBF leaders, volunteers and staff as they represent Farm Bureau's interests with . government officials, the public and other audiences. The fuod labeling discussion centered on the need to maintain freedom of choice for farmers and consumers. OFBF believes farmers should be free to utilize production technologies that are proven safe; consumers should have a choice to buy foods produced with those technologies. · Delegates approved a variety of ideas to deal with the ongoing problem of Ohio's deer population. Among the concepts Farm Bureau will explore is the establishment of an abatement program targeted at losses created by deer and other wildlife. "While the public benefits from hunting fees and tourism dollars associated with wildlife, many of our members are bearing an unfair share of the costs associated with an overly abundant wildlife population," said Keith Stimpert, OFBF's senior vice president of public policy. Deer and other wildlife are responsible for damage to grain and forage crops, nursery pll\nts and orchards that is estimated in millions of dollars every year, according to Stimpert. Three hundred and thirtyfive dele~ates representing all 88 Oh1o counlies participated in the business sessions." More than I, 100 members, dignitaries and guests attended OFBF's 89th annual meeting. Ohio . Farm Bureau is the state's iargest general farm organization with more than 230,000 members across the · state, including nearly 60,000 farmers. Its mission is to forge a partnership betw~;en farmers and consumers. GALLIPOLIS Sleepy Hollow Farm, Gallipolis, is ~ new member of the American Angus Association, reports John Crouch, executive vice president of the national breed registry organization in St. Joseph, Mo . . The . American Angus Association, with more than 36,000 active adult and junior members, is the largest beef cattle registry Association in .the world. Its computerized records include detailed information on nearly 16 . million registered Angus. The association records lincestral infonnation and keeps production records on individual animals for its mem!)ers. These pennanent records help members select and mate the best animals in their herds to produce high quality, efficient breeding cattle which are then recorded·with the 1\inerican Angus Association. Most of these registered Angus are used by the U.S. farmers and ranchers who raise high quality beef for U.S. consumption. • Pomeroy • MlddlepQrt • Gallipolis, OH • Pt. Ple!Jsant, WV sunday, December 9. 20~17 m:rtbune - Sentinel - l\e BY HAL KNEEN There are a variety of evergreen trees bein~ used for the famil'y Chnstmas tree. The Christmas tree can be a pine, spruce or ftr tree. There are some important considerations when selecting one of these trees. These include foliage color and density, needle len~th and retention, stem strmghtness and shape and also stem strength for holding those precious family tree ornaments. If you want to avoid a mess in the Jiving room, it is important to know if the tree you buy has good needle retention. Scotch pine, blue spruce, Douglas fir, balsam fir, Fraser fir, Canaan fir, and white pine are very ~opular trees sold for Chnstmas. They will vary in their. appearance and needle retention. The Scotch pine is the most popular tree for Christmas sold in Ohio. The foliage varies in color, needle strength and straightness. Needle retention is excellent. The Scotch pine is available in almost all Ohio markets. The spruce includes Norway and blue spruce or Colorado spruce. They have fairly short needles which vary in color from green to bluish green. Needle retention does not equal Scotch and white pine, but is acceptable. The blue spruce is available in ·most markets and is often bought as a live balled tree to be transplanted in the yard after the holidays. The Douglas fir has fairly short needles with a bluish green coloration. It is rated very high as a fine looking Christmas tree. Needle retention is excellent, but the price of this tree can be expensive. The balsam fir has a pleasant tree odor, reminds · you of that old fashioned Christmas. The needles are usually short and rounded on the tips. The Fraser fir or southern balsam is an extremely attractive tree. The needles are darker green than balsam fir and have prominent white bands underneath. The three firs have good needle retention and produce an excellent tree when properly pruned. White pine has long needles which are fine, silky in texture and bluish green in color. Since thi s tree produces delicate slender limbs, it must be closely pruned to produce a Christmas tree shape which will hold tree decorations. When properly P,runed, it makes a most impressive Christmas tree. If you purchase a balled Jive Christmas tree, place it in a tub which will hold soil ar.d water. Water the tree daily as needed. If this iree is to be planted in the yard, have the hold dug as soon as possible. Cover .the hold to prevent it from filling with water and to avoid accidents. Do not keep the tree too long in the house: the buds may start to open and this will kill the tree if placed outside in this condition. It is recommended that a balled Christmas tree be kept in the house ·a very short time.Plant it outside as soon as possible.

AP photo/The Collfomlan, Felix Adamo, REYNOLDSBURG As cold weather sets in and tires start burning, the Ohio Department of Agriculture urges Ohioans to work with reputable companies and remember a few basic tips when purchasing fire. wood to heat their homes. Ohio law requires firewood dealers . to sell non-packaged firewood by the cord or by fractions of a cord. Bulk firewood can also be purchased by weight, in ton measurements, if it is weighed on a certified scale. Law prohibits any other unit of measurement such· as rick; rack, face cord, ortr4ckload. 'Truckload" portions vary from dealer to dealer and can be misleading to consumers, who often buy wood in order to cut their heating bills. Consumers can avoid ambiguous measurements by purchasing wood by the cord, half-cord, or quarter-cord. A cord is 128 cubic feet. When a cord is properly stacked, it should be as large as a stack that is 8 feet long by 4 feet high and 4 feet wide. Consumers should contact the seller immediate!~ if they do not receive the quanttty purchased. Buyers should understand basic firewood terms and rules to ensure they receive what was advertised.

In addition , if a seller claims the wood is a specific type, the delivered load must contain at least 90 percent of that species. Before moving firewood this winter, homeowners should also be aware of the state's Emerald Ash Borer quarantine. restricting the movement of firewood in 34 counties. Firewood often is home to invasive insects and diseases and is a major contributor to the spread of these destructive pests. As a result, the department has quarantined areas of the state to limit the movement of infested firewood . Violators of the quarantine can face fines up to $4,000.

See Page81 BY, BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RACINE - The Ohio Department Natural Resources is continuing its review of the first round of revisions made by Gatling, Ohio to its coal mining permit application, though another round may follow. Scott Stiteler of ODNR said Gatling is likely looking at another set of revisions to answer in the next three to four weeks. As of now, ODNR is still waiting on the hydrology and engineering review to be completed on the first round . Stiteler said multiple rounds of revisions on these types of applications are not uncommon. In the first round of revisions, Gatling did address the Racine water well fields . which sit within the Pittsburgh 8A 'coal seam the company wishes to mine. According to Stiteler, Gatling states in the revision that mining will not·occur in well zone E, which denotes the village's aquifer from which drinking water is <;lerived. Stiteler added the revision also has Gatling stating mining will not occur in the designated well pro- tection area. Gatling's permit application reveals the mining area overlaps into at least pan of Racine's Source Water Protection Area which was developed with help from the Ohio Environmental Proteetion Agency.

Now, he is pan of a growing trend in which ranchers throughout the West are using those same methods to challenge California's dominance of the U.S. dairy market. "Idaho and New Mexico are looking at California and say ing we can do that, too," said Leslie Butler, an agricultural economist at the University of California at Davis. U.S. Department of Agriculture ligures show California produced 3.3 billion gallons of milk in 2006 - a 17 percent increase from five years earlier, but a growth rate that lags several competing states. During that same period, Idaho increased production by 40 percent to 937.4 million gallons. while New Mexico posted a 37 percent jump to 653.6 million gallons. Arizona pumped up output 28 percent to 344 million gallons, and Colorado saw a 29 percent jump to 215 million gallons. "California is still the largest, but the question is, Are they going to be able to maintain growth?" Purdue University agricultural economist Joseph Balagtas said. Ranchers in Idaho, New Mexico and other states are copying many of the same high-yield dairy meth"ods that fueled rapid expansion in California in the mid-1990s. The strategy, which Butler calls "the California model ," includes taking cows off pastures - where they graze in thinly spread hends and concentrating them together in massive dairies. Feed is shipped into operations and manure is hauled out, rather than relying on naturally occurring processes in pastures. Teunissen said his bottom line in Idaho has also benefited f,rom cheaper feed and from utilities that cost one-third as much as his fami ly paid in California. "It was a great opportunity for my wife and I;" he said about his move. PageD6 J.

Attorney General Marc Dann on Friday filed motio.ns in other cases around Ohio based on the ruling, hoping the state with the highest percentage of homes in foreclosure has · found a legal method to address the crisis. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Steven E. Martin ruled last week that Wells Fargo Bank couldn't foreclose on a North College Hill home because its lawyers didn't prove that the bank owned the mortgage. The suit was deemed premature. Three federal court judges in· Cleveland, Dayton and Columbus issued similar rulings in cases in the past month. "It is troubling that the plaintiff has filed this case before it had any interest' in it," Martin wrote in a letter to Wells Fargo's lawyer. He then ordered that the bank's law firm must file proof that its clients actually own the mortgages before filing any new foreclosure actions in Hamilton County. The firm, Law Offices of John D: Clunk based in Audson, is the third largest filer of foreclosure actions in Hami lto.n County. With mortgages sold off to investors on W(lll Street, the tme owner of a mortgage isn 't always clear. The holder of the mortgage note is often different from the servicing company or the bank that takes the mortgage payments.
