The resource center, which opens this the Mulberry Tuesday inside Community Center, was financed tltrpugh Relay For Life funds that. were raised in Meigs County. The American Cancer Society (ACS) of Southeast Ohio is overseeing the center and providing a computer, printer, television!VCR, desk, and other office supplies and educational materials. The resource center is located within 1 the Parish Nurse's office inside. the Mulberry ·Community ·Center. Ohio . Retired and Senior Volunteers will ~taff the center which will anriounce its hours of operation soon.

PageC6 BY EuZAIETH KEUY SPECIAL TO THE TIME5-SENTINEL VIN1DN - We have all heard the debates and discussion of .the difficult decision senior citizens in our area must face every day - the. choice of food versus medica. tion. Many times we are left to wonder what can one person do to help the situation. · By simply donating a can of food to a local project, it could and will make a world of.difference to someone. Vinton Masonic Lodge 131 bas taken a proactive stance on this issue. Beginning in November 2005, lodge members under the ·direction of the Grand Master of al ~ Masons of Ohio, ,began collecting nonperishable food items for senior citizens in Vinton Village <~Dd Huntington Township. · "Since we started the project we have given'canned good to over 20 area residents." said Charles Easter. food distribution committee member. "By providing our senior citizens neighbors with canned good items ali well as non perishable foods thi s helps them to plan better and meet their needs." With the aid of Johnson's of · Gallipolis and Buckeye Foodland of Bidwell , the committee members have been able to continue the fooa distribution I.onger than originally anticipated, The committee is made up of Vinton Lodge members , who not Q.{lly col.lect all donallrns but also deliver the food 1tems to area residents.

Local tobacco growers are aware that deer also don't eat flowering tobacco, which is an ann ual flower. The soap keeps the insects away, just like the insecticide soap you buy at the gar< den center.

If you spray at night, fungus spores could start growing in the moisture on the leaves. Both of these concern's apply to regular watering too. So.try to apply liquids to your plants only in the early morning. As the liquid dries, it leaves the taste of the soap and tobacco on the plants.
