Southern teachers still seek pay hike : that he rammed Stewart's car on pit LONG POND, Pa. - Kevin Lepage has come pretty close to seeing il all, or at least all of NASCAR during the growth of the past decade and a half. . Lepage, 44, has won a couple of times in the Busch Series· but never in Cup, though the Pennsylvania 500 marked the 19t•t start of his career. He spent two seasons and part of a third driving for Jack Roush. For most of the current sea· son, he has tried to raise tbe fortunes of BAM Motorsports, the team owned by Beth Ann Morgentbau. · "It's not getting any easier," said Lepage, l'!hO is from Shelburne, Vt. 'Tve been in a lot of good situations, and I've been in a lot of bad situations. The good situations taught me a lot. The bad situations taught me how to be patient and just take wlult things come. "This year has been an interesting one, to say the least, because, you know, I had three different car owners in 10 days. Now I'm here at BAM Racing, trying to rectify the team's problems. They started with a rookie (Brent Sherman) earlier in the year. The team has to be patient, and I have to be patient, too, because of all the changes that need to be done." For now, getting the No. 49 Dodge in starting fields is the majot goal each week. Lepage can't rely on an automatic spot beClluse the team isn't in the top 35 in owner points. The team made the field in the past two races, but it's a dif· ficult battle since there are only 43 spots in the lineup and most weeks find about 10-15 similarly unprotected teams trying to earn one of seven or eight·available spots. "The guys already in the top JS have two and a half hours of practice on Friday to get ready for Sunday's race," Lepage said at Pocono. "Now we're in the show, and we're two hours behind these people already because we had to emphasize qualifying: It rained on Saturday, so now you're even further behind the eight ball. You look at what's going on in the race. The guys outside the top 35 usually race in about the same place. "I understand that NASCAR needs to protect people, but Beth Ann and Tony (Morgenthau, her husband) pay the · same entry fees. We spend the same money on fuel for transporters. Have the same expeoses, same tire bill, same everything, and yet we can only race for seven or eight spots, whereas the top 3S is already guaranteed. They need to look at tbat different. They need to do something else on that deal." Lepage, though, has few regrets. . "The day I retire will be the day I get discouraged," he said.

But Landis saved his most aggressive tone for the defense of his title as Tour de France champion. "I was the strongest guy, 1 deserved to win, and I'm proud of it," he said. Landis appeared to lose any chance of victory during a disastrous 16th stage of the Tour, then broke out with one of the greatest performances in history the next day.

On the ~w of the Tour's this suspicious reading is the same one that was at the center of the 'L'Equipe affair." The French newspaper, L'Equipe, said samples taken from Armstrong during the 1999 Tour de France and then frozen tested positive for the blood-booster EPO. The International Cycling Union commissioned a report that later cleared Armstrong of the doping allegations. . "When an independent investigator contacted the lab, they wouldn't answer the simplest of questions, wouldn't go into their testing ethics, who did the tests, etc,, etc.," Armstrong said.

And besides cotton candy and fries, one thing they don't want to miss are the animal exhibits. Waving at the cows or petting the sheep, kids have a ~ood time while teaming a httle more about farm animals. But as fun and educational as agricultural fairs can be, there's potential danger lurking in the stalls, the animal bedding or even in the air ~ou're breathing in the barns.

Studies have also shown that kids who sucked their thumbs or a pacifier or drank from a sippy cup in those places. were 26 times more likely to become sick. In Ohio alone, there have been three outbreaks of E. coli in the past six years at agricultural fairs in Medina, Lorain and Wyandot counties. The out· breaks affected 97 people, five of whom developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HU S) - a rare disorder frequently associated with E. coli infection that can lead to kidney failure and damage to other organs, especially in children under I 0. A recent study of 32 agricultural fairs in Ohio and other states - including state ·fairs - · found E. coli 0157:H7 in animal feces from every fair sampled.

The modified plan will be submitted to a committee of I0 lawmakers from the state House and Senate who will review it to make sure the attorney general is not overstepping his rule-making authority.

The three buildings in the 500 block of Second Avenue that were damaged by fire a few months ago and subsequently razed all dated to about 1847. The building of the three structures coincided with the moving of the courthouse from the City Park to Locust Street. The building that used to house Wiseman Realty on the corner was first used as a bakery by Christopher Lichtenfelt. In later years, it was clothing store, a bakery again, the Neal drug store for 64 years ' and then an insurance office for 43 years. The store at 502 Second Ave. was Max Harger's Drug Store originally. It was later a feed store, grocery, meat shop, a dry cleaning establishment for 40 years, and then offices for a loan company. The 504 Second Ave. structure originali'y housed the pub of Frederick Kaulbersch. In later years. 504 Second Ave. would serve as grocery. cigar factory, grocery again, as a plumbing business, and then a~ an insurance and attorney's office. Frederick Kaulbersch· appears to have been the first Gallipolitan to make beer on any grand scale. . Beer was made in the county near Ewington as early as the 1820s by a Dr. Kittredge, who advertised that beer was a health food. Roben Mauck held a rutent on the manufacture o beer and wine from 1829 and · so he must have made beer as well. Kaulbersch's brewing business, located outside of town, was later taken over by Xavier Brandstetter, another German immigrant who established a full-blown brewery on the hills overlooking Gallipolis now known as Brandstetter Heights. In time, that brewery would have several buildings, including a large ice house. Prior to a refrigeration system to make ice, the product was cut from streams, ponds and rivers, and stored way underground wrapped in burlap and sawdust. It was shortly after the Civil War that the Brandstetter brewery was built. Mr. Brandstetter, who was born in Baden, Germany, died in 1876 and the brewing operation passed to his nephew, Frederick Henkel , who had come to Gallipolis in 1873 from Landen Hausen in Hesse, Germany. The brewing operation continued under Henkel full blast (400 to 600 barrels of lager beer a year) and then part· time after that, possibly until 1900. Most of those years and into the early 20th century, will continue accepting public comment until Aug. 21. Norris said she doesn't expect the rules to be implemented until early next year. Petro has said he wants · to hold Ohio's 24,000 charities to high standards of accountability and tran sparency. · Nonprofit organizations must file information about their activities and finance s ·with the federal government and the state. Henkel bottled beer made in other Ohio towns. Hoster beer of Columbus and Henkel had a relationship that went on up until 1908 when Gallipolis went dry due to the Rose Law. Other beers boitled or stored in Gallipolis over the years included beers made in Wellston, Portsmouth ar,Jd Nelsonville. The Ponsmouth Brewing Co .. also known as Born beer after the Esselborn family who owned the brewery, made such brands as O.K.. Bohemian, Portsm·outh Bock, Culmbacher, Excelsior Expon and The Elk Beer. The Hocking Valley Brewing Co. in Nelsonville made Hock Hocking beer. It was said that hock ·hocking was a Delaware Indian word that meant shaped like a bott.le. This company also made Chief Logan beer. The beer bonled here by other breweries came in 32 . galloi1 barrels and housed in several warehouses near the train depot on Olive Street. Barrels could either be delivered whole to various taverns in town or bottled in the warehouse in a small operation. The Wellston Brewing Co. was housed in the early 1900s on Court Street, where beer was bottled for distribution to West Virginia and southern Ohio. When Wellston Brewing,came to Gallipolis in 1906, it was just one year after the company had built a new four-story brewhouse · and bottling plant in Wellston . . The brewery could tum out 15,000 barrels a year, which is nearly 4 million pints of beer. Both the Wellston and Portsmouth breweries eventually switched to soda pop under new owners, the former becoming Gem and the latter, Whistle. During Prohibition, some of the southern Ohio breweries made so-called near beer. which had an alcohol content between I and 2 percent. We note however the most popular "near beer" in Gallipohs during the 1920s · appears to have been made by the Weidemanns, at least judging by all the ads for the same in the local paper. Of course, some people switched altogether away from beer in .the 1920s to moonshine, made locally but without labels . Pomeroy and Ironton also had breweries that did considerable trade in Gallipolis. The Pomeroy company was Wildermuth or. Rolling Mill Brewery, and in Ironton it was Ebert beer. ~ (James Sands is a special correspondent for the Sunday Times-Sentinel.

"Before we began utilizing the Vita!Stim(r) Therapy, we had a number of patients leaving our unit with restricted diets, We don't have tliat anymore," Roe said. "It's one of the most excit· ing technological break· throughs in tenns of effectiveness and efticiency that I have seen since I've been a doctor. It improves vocal quality and oral intake for patients. It really works," said Dr. Daniel Black, AAPMR. medical director of the HMC Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit. Speech pathologists report more accomplishments m a shon~r· amount of time with the new devi~e than with tmditional treatment,. · Outpatient treatment requires at minimum three one hour treatments per week. "The loss of swallowing is devastating to individuals. Most family and social functions always include an aspect of eating. Decreased swallowing affects nutritional intake and social interaction s. Vita!Stim(r) offers th~ opponunity to aggressively treat a swallowing disorder to improve the patient's functional ability and quality of life." said Truer Sisson. MA, CCC-SLP, HMC outpatient speech therapist. In addllion to utilizing the treatment, Roe and Tammy Hill, MA, CCC-S, speech therapist for the HMC Inpatient Rehabilitation Inpatient Unit, conducted a pilot study on the program before implementatmn. Agroup of I0 p.~tients were treated with VitalStim(r) in October 2005 and compared to a group ofJatients treated with tradition therapy methods. The patients who received Vita!Stim(r) Therapy made more progress in fewer sessions. Four of the I 0 patients were discharged on a regular diet with no restrictions and all were receiving oral intake at some level: The patients receiving traditional therapy had less successful outcomes with zero discharged on a regular diet. "Vita!Stim(r) provides a faster improvement rate with a non-aggressive treat· men t approach," said Hill. · Vita!Stim(r) is available to those who have doctor's prescription. The treatment can provide a sigt:~ ificant cost savings as compared with traditional treatments in addition to serving as a noninvasive, painless treatment.

Sunday, July 30, 200(j 'For some, foster care creates a large extended family BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER NEW YORK If Stephen McCall didn't become a foster parent, who · would? That's the question McCall first asked himself in 1999, and has since asked 21 times over. As a single, 38-year-old man in Brooklyn ,· N.Y., maybe he doesn't exactly fit the foster parent "mold," but the kids he becomes a father to don't seem to care. "I kind of got pulled into it the first time," say5 . McCall. "It was a close friend of the family. Her three kids went into foster care. I heard about it on my way home from work and I decided I had to go get them so they could stay with me instead of strangers." Those children, ages 2, 9 and I 0. were with him for six months and it was a bittersweet experience. He was glad their mother was again capable of taking care of them; he was sad to see them go. Children, McCall says, had brought a vitality to his honie. "Foster care is temporary. It can tear you apart . You get close to kids, kids get close to you, but, at the same time, that meant that their mom had gotten herself to~ether and I'd still see them,' he says. (And he does still does.) In an effort to place more children now in foster care in permanent homes, U.S. Health and Human Services launched a series of public service announce- ments last month 110 encourage adoption oi' teens. The department recently found that eveR though there are a shrinking number of ehildreil in foster care - down to 518 ,000 from 567,000 it) 1999 - the ·population is older and kids are staying in the system longer. Children who did not fino permanent home> were at risk for failing to complete high school (37 percent), and for being either physi• cally or sexllally victim• ized, incarcerated or homeless (37 percent,). Of the children in the system, about 118,000- about the population of Stamford. Conn. - are available for . . adoption. The largest group is older black boys. Children enter the foster care system , run by each state but overseen by Washington. because their parents have been reported for neglecting or abusing them. Potential foster parents are screened for crimi. nal history, family stability and their reason s for becoming a foster parent before a child is placed in the home, even temporarily. The courts mandate that birth parents have access to services to address their issues. It's up to the parenC though, to actllally participate in the services and to keep up visitation with the children.

HEALTH AND LIFE ilunba~ limt& -itnttnel PageCs ON THE BOOKSHELF Updike's latest probes serious matter for today John Updike's Terrorist is destined for the bestseller list, both by virtue of the skill and fame of the author, and the subject matter. The novel's main character is the son of a spunky IrishAmerican nurse's aide and an Egyptian exchange student who disappeared when the boy was 3. Like of a lot of fatherless young men, Ahmad Mulloy chooses to idolize his father and also adopts his religion, Islam. He is a loner, an outsider. Most of the other students in his school are shades of brown. Updike spends many sentences describing skin color. Ahmad is a serious, good student with an after-school job. He is attracted to Joryleen Grant, girlfriend of a brash boy from the 'hood named Tylenol (probably the single worst name I have ever encountered in tiction). The 63-year-old guidance counselor, Jack Levy, lapsed Jew, married to morbidly obese Beth, who works . at the library and watches soap operas while devouring bags of cookies, decides Ahmad is worth saving. Not too surprisingly, Jack become romantically involved with It's Ahmad's mother. Updike, folks . Sex scenes are to be expected: The mother, Terry '\Mulloy, is a '60s-style free spirit who dresses tbo young for her age (40), has had a succession of undesirable relationships, and pretty much leaves her son on his own. He attends a small mosque with a radical imam. He is an attentive student of the Koran and sees America as sinful and materialistic, bent · on destroying its soul with obscene movies and mindnumbing television. One memorable sentence says, "Women's voices rise from back rooms in merciless complaint against children who were born uninvited and now collect, neglected, around the only friendly voices in their hearing, those from the television set." He is determined to surrender to God's will, become His instrument, and to destroy the infidel. The setting is the northern New Jersey town of New Beverly Gettles Sunday, July 30, 2006 REA.D MORE ·ABOUT IT Knitting makes impact on new literature Knitting groups ar~ pop-ular in our area, evidenced by recent articles in the Gallipolis Tribune.

The Welsh culture had all but died out by 1950, according to Thomas. but recently a new interest in the Welsh Heritage has emerged around the county. As part of maintaining the history, Welsh f<)lllily rew1ions and celebmtions are still held at Tyn Rhos ChW'Ch, though lack of running water prevents the site from being used too often. · On Sunday, Sept. 24, a Gymanfa, meaning sacred festival , will be held at the site, which will include a service at I0 a.m. and a service at I p.m., with lunch being ·served oti the grounds. Guest minister Stephen 'Morgan, 70, will preach at the ceremony and is conne,cted to Tyn Rhos in many ways. Morgan hails from the same place the original immigrants came from and is the local historian. According to Thomas, Morgan 's brother, Samuel Morgans, currently owns the original Tyn Rhos farm in Wales. The variation in spelling is not an ·error. Their father used an "s" at the end of his name and the grandfather did not, therefore each brother chose which spelling to use. The Morgan brothers were born in the same house and in the same room as the children of John Jones Tyn Rhos. Elizabeth Jones Thomas, the last Jones child born in Wales, was born .in 1834. Stephen Morgan was born in 1936 and Saniuel Morgans in 1938 . . In 2000. in Wale s. Morgan wrote and performed a play about John Jones. The play was completely - in Welsh .

Remodeling is a wonderful way to make a tired home o look like new. But not every budget or schedule allows for tackling_ a major project even when it is needed. However, there are ways to spruce up your household and to give it a fresh "new" look, without breaking the bank, by in.vesting just a few hours on a much-needed home maintenance task such as caulking. Caulking is that stutl' that builders and contractors use to fill ·and seal seams where two surfaces meet, to prevent water and weather from entering and causing damage. And if your home is five to 10 years old (or more) chances are good that many of those sea ms are both looking shabby and probably no longer doing their job to protect your home. · While re-caulking is a great way to cosmetically freshen appearances, resealing these jl'lints·is even more beneficial as a means of preventing pervasive moisture from getting into walls or under tile and floors where nasty mold and rot can do their dirty work . Consequently, what could have amounted to the cost of a tube or two of cau lking and a bit of time may end up costing you a second mo11gage and some major rot repair. So, it 's off to the hardware store or home center for a trip down the "caulk and adhesives" aisle. Today, selecting the right product for the job can be a confusing undertaking since there are so many different ty-pes of " caulks and . sealants" designed for specific jobs and applications. And let's not forget the patching compounds and putty that are often located along the same ais.le, which further complicate matters. Unless you have a special repair need, you can get by with a fe W basic types of caulks and sealants. such as latex or silicone. Of these. while water-soluble latex caulk is perfect for interim use along baseboards; around windows ,. silicone caulk is even better. It can be used both indoors or out and for almost any purpose. It bonds to almost any surface, does not · become brittle with age and provides outstanding waterand weather-resistance. Silicone caulk and hybrid caulks with si licone are generally your best bet. And if you plan to paint when finished, be sure to buy a "paintable" silicone caulk. Two more small products, and you're all set to give your home a total "top-to-bottom" tuneup. First, a mini-tube of new double-duty "all purpose <1dhesivq and caulk" thUt can be used for hundreds of household repair,, 1ouchups and improvements, and secondly. a roll of new special "tub and tile masking tape.' ' The former will prevent you from having to buy 16 different tubes of cau lk or adhesive an9 the latter is a ne\\ product that can make eve n the most inexperienced of home improvers caulk like a pm. Then, it's time to dec(de what to do lirst. Tackle the seams around windows and doors or reseal the kitchen counter backsplash '7 If your home is like most, the seam separating the bathtub or shower pan from the adjoining waterproof wall cover has probably .>ecn better days. Chances are one or two spots have sprung a leak and dark mildew may be making inroads as well, leaving nasty stains even after scrubbing anu blc~ching. If such is the case. re-caulking the bathtub is a great place to begin. It's also easy. First, remove the old ca ulk. which can be done in a number of ways. One technique is to trim it first , top and bottom, with a utility knife and to then scrape or pry it -out. Other options include heating it first , with a hair dryer or heat gun, to soften the cau lk or using <\ specially formulated chemical caulk softener.

Peppers like moist conditions while squash prefer dryer conditions closer to 70 percent humidity. Vine-. ripe tomatoes need to be stored 65-70 degrees F. Green tomatoes and sweet potatoes may be stored at 5560 degrees for up to four weeks. Peppers, tomatoes and squash that are stored at cold temperatures may quickly turn to mush. Cold temperatures cause the vegetable cell walls to collapse and permits fungus and bac. teria to enter the vegetable. Canning_, drying and freezing excess produce is a great way to preserve quality vegetables. Some vegetables, like brussel sprouts and parnips, won't be. ready for harvest until after freezing growing temperatures, when plant starches will be converted to sugars. Are your vegetables tasting good? Whether you grow your own vegetables or purchase them, their quality is dependent on how they are cared for it until they are cooked vr eaten. Vegetables that are. harvested need to be kept out of direct sunlight and cooled to their proper temperature immediately. Two or three hours in 90 degree heat can cause quick deterioration of vegetables. When purchasing products from roadside stands .. check whether they are exposed to the summer s.un or are they kept in the shade. Remember that vegetables are composed of living plant cells that continue to respire (conversion of sto.red sugars, starches and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water and energy needed to maintain ••• cell viability and firmness).
