Later · investigation developed a number of cooperating witnesses who have conllrrned that from at least the fall of 2004 through at least July 2005, White, Shortridge and others have been involved in transporting quantities of crack cocaine from Detroit to Gallia County for distribution. According to witnesses, White would arrange for the crack cocaine to be transported to Gallipolis, where it would be distributed by Shortridge. Hawkins assisted Shortridge in selling the crack from fall 2004 until February 2005.

"~ ·-· ·· Sunday, September 17,2006 Red hot torture ' Diane Hill PageA4 Thanks to the New York Times, we now know the dreaded torture methods the sadistic CIA used on captured . al-Qaeda big shots shortly after the 9/11 attack. I warn you: Reading this column any further will subject you to unvarnished brutality. According to a front page article in the Times on Sunday, September . lOth, Pakistani authorities captured Abu Zubaydah, alQaeda's personnel director, a few months after the terror attack five years ago. Zubaydah, wounded in the confrontation, was turned over to American authorities and whisked away to Bangkok, Thailand, where FBI interrogators began questioning him. According to unnamed sources in the _Times article, the FBI and CIA clashed over whether to use soft or tough questioning methods on the captured terrorist. Because it had · jurisdiction, the CIA took over, and · the inquisition Bill O'Reilly began. Agency interrogators stripped Zubaydah, put him in a freezing room, and subje,cted him to Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not the vegetables, the rock group. Apparently, the CIA sadists cnmked up the volume on some Red Hot Chili Peppers recordings and Zubaydah broke. Wouldn't you? Now, I am not making this up. The dreaded torture machine that is the Bush administration unleashed the Red Hot Chili Peppers · ·on an al-Qaeda big shot. How could they? According to the article, Zubaydah gave up a number of . his fellow killers, Sunday, September 17, 2006 .. Obituaries V. Virginia including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/ll. But come on, the ends do not justify the means. Using the Chili Peppers is beyond the pale. Somewhere, Attila the Hun is weeping with laughter. But this whole thing is deadly serious. Thanks to the American thugs at Abu Ghniib and the hysterical left-wing press, the entire world thinks the USA is a nation of brutes who torture for pleasure. Human rights groups can't condemn us fast enough for our terrible treatment' of people captured on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. Guantanamo Bay is a Gulag, Dick Cheney is Henrich Himmler. And the beat goes on. But amidst all the hew and cry, there are few specifics. As far as I can determine, waterboarding - that ·is, submerging a suspect in water - was used a couple of times, but is now banned. Stress posiiions and sleep deprivation have been 'used in limited situations. And now we know the Peppers were in play. Of course, in reporting the interrogation story, the Times played up the con- ' tlict between the FBI and the CIA big, but buried tlie' lead. In the final two para-; graphs of the lengthy report, the importance of . the Chili Pepper story . emerges. Times reporter · David Johnston quotes yet another anonymous "government official" as saying, "The fact of the matter is that Abu Zubaydah was : defiant and evasive until the approved procedures were used. He soon began . to provide information on · key AI Qaeda operators to help us find ·and capture those responsible for the 9111 attacks." That sounds like a good . thing to me, but 1 do have some advice for the CIA the next time around : Use Ludacris, and you'll get bin Laden. REMEMBER WHEN THAT PAINTING WAS IMPRESSIONISM NOT REALISM.

Penni Clrr jstahlel@dispatch.com .The .frog plague: The inside story I'm wondering if any of you readers out there have noticed any suspicious behavior on the part of frogs . I ask because the ones at my houSe are definitely up to something. f live in South Florida, which has a hot, moist, armpit-like climate that is very favorable for life in general. Everything down here is either already alive or about to be. You could leave your toaster out on your lawn overnight, and by morning it would have developed legs, a tail, a mouth, tentacles, etc., and it would be prowling around looking· for slower, weaker appliances to · prey on. So I am used to wildlife. I am used to the fact lhat, as I walk from my car to the front door - striding briskly to prevent fungus from growing on my body - I will routinely pass lizards, snakes, spiders, snails and mutant prehistoric grasshoppers large enough for the Lone Ranger to saddle up imd ride into lhe sunset on ("Hi-ho, Silver, AWAYYYEEEEEIJIKES !"). My yard has also always had plenty of frogs. Until recently, these were non-aggressive plump, frogs who just sat there, looking pensively off into the distance, thinking frog 'thoughts ("How am I supposed to reproduce? I appear to lack organs!") But lately my yard has become infested with a ·----.. • · ·- .., . ,. Dave Barry whole new brand of frogs -smaller, quicker, juniorwelterweight frogs that are extremely jittery, as though they spent their tadpole phase swimming around in really strong espresso. And for some reason these frogs desperately want to GET INSIDE MY HOUSE. They hide in crannies on my front stoop, waiting, and when I open the front door they suddenly HOP . HOP HOP HOP HOP, and the stoop turns into the Oklahoma Land Rush, except that instead of hardy pioneers racing to claim homesteads, there · are hordes of small. caffeinecrazed frogs bounding into my living room, moving far too fast for the human foot to stomp on. The eerie thing is, within seconds, the invading frogs have ALL DISAPPEARED. Some go under the sofa, but many seem simply to vanish. l l'hink maybe they've developed so me kind of camouflage, so they can blend into the living-room environment by taking on the appearance of a carpet stain or (if they are really orga~' . nized) a piano. All I know is, the frogs go into my house, and they do not come out. which means that ·there are now, by conservative estimate, thousands of frogs hiding somewhere in my living room. This makes me nervous . I'm wondering if maybe it could be a plague. I say this because my wife is Jewish, and each year her family comes to our house to celebrate Passover with a traditional Seder feast. I am not Jewish, but I always join in, on the theory that you .should embrace as many religions as possible, because you never know. You could die and find yourself in an afterlife facing the eternal judgment of, for example, L. Ron Hubbard . So I participate in the Seder; in fact, at our house I always make the traditional matzo balls, usmg an ancient Presbyterian recipe . (The matzo balls symbolize the Old Testament story about how the Israelites, after following Moses all over the desert, finally came to a place where there was chicken soup.) Anyway, there's this one point in the Seder ceremony when we all dip our finge rs into our glasses of ancient traditional Manischewitz wine, and then we drop 10 wine droplets onto our plates while we say, out loud, the names of the 10 Plagues of Egypt, which are: blood, , darkness, blight, slaying of the first born, wild beasts, · lice, boils, locusts, hail and - you guessed it Leonardo DiCaprio. No, seriou.sly, one of the· plagues is frogs. So I'm thinking that maybe, during the most recent Seder; when we were saying the plague names, we failed to make adequate wine: droplets for the frogs. My concern is that this might have violated some clause in the Old Testament, such as the .Book of Effusions, Chapter 4, Verse 7, Line 6; which states: "And yea thou shalt BE sureth to maketh a GOOD frog. droplet, for if thou shalt: NOT, forsooth thou; SHALT getteth a BIG' plague of frogs, and they' SHALT be of the JUNIOR- · welterweight division, and. they WILL hideth UNDER: thine sofa." Or maybe; there's some other cause.• Maybe it's. a Y2K issue,: and these are non-compli- · ant frogs. Whatever it is, I: don' t like it. I don't like sit-: ting in my living room at night, watching the TV, : knowing that all around me, hidden in the dark, · thousands of beady little eyes are also watching the TV ... and maybe waiting for some secret signal. Perhaps you think I am crazy. Fine. Then perhaps you can explain to me why, when the frogs croak in the Budweiser commercial, my ptano croaks back.

The beaver, a semi-aquatic animal native to Ohio, is the lwgest rodent found in North America They continue to grow throughout theif lives, reaching weiglits in excess of 60-70 pounds. Their fur colors range from blonde to black and they have webbed feet and a distinCtive flat, paddle-shaped tail. The beaver is the national animal of Canada, and beavers are well-noted for the industry. Beaver can alter their habitat a great deal with the building of dams, and the resulting flooding of lowlands. The beaver uses the water backed up by the dam for protection from predators and to provide access to food during winter. The deeper water behind dams creates a bener habitat for muskrats, and a variety of other wildlife species such as fish and waterfowl. Mink and otter hunt regularly around beaver dams. These locations also provide suitable denning sites those forbearers . . Beaver are not especially picky about where they live, here in southeastern Ohio they can be found living in old strip-mine ponds, perfectly content with the acidic water found there. And it is generally the building of darns that create conflicts with humans. In short, if they are making dams on someone else' property, then they are just fine, unless the water backs up onto your place, then they are a problem. · And while you may enjoy them, your neighbor might not, and vice-versa, creatmg problems between neighbors. Once they have laid claim to a territory, they can be very difficult to remove if thetr activities damage mads or property. Nuisance beaver may be trapped at any time by landowners or licensed nUIsance trappers, and they can also be tmpped in season by licensed trappers. In addition, drain~ipes may be ·installed throu the beaver dams and shiel ed upstream and downstream with wire cages.to pre- Sunday, September 17, 2006 In the Whether football f hom~town, ·there physician evtl!-rv·w are here every care for your Your Holzer Clinic Team ... Open Jim Freeman vent them from being plugged up- however they have to be regularly checked and cleared of debris. Fruit trees and other valuable trees, as well as farm crops planted around ponds and streams may also be targeted. Beaver are also host to an intestinal parasite, giardiasis; water inhabited by beaver becomes infested with the parasite cysts, which are too small to be filtered from the water. These cysts hatch in the small intestines of people who drink the contaminated water resulting in diarrhea, nausea, and stomach aches. But like them or not, there is no doubt that beaver ~layed an important role in Ohio s history. Early explorers and trappers were flfSt drawn to the area that would become Ohio in search of "soft gold" otherwise known as beaver pelts. Beaver were scarce by the time Ohio became a state and by the 1830s the beaver were largely wiped out, or extirpated. Of course all of this was long before the establishment of modern hunting and trapping regulations. The species' recovery took about a hundred years with the first beaver sigh bein,g found in northeastern Ohio m 1936. The first statewide beaver tmpping season was in 1983.

People interested in finding out about the history of Welsh settlers can explore their own connections through the new exhib-. it at the Greer Museum, "Keeping Up With the Joneses." The interactive exhibition was designed by teams on both sides of the Atlantic, including the Madog Center for Welsh Studies at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College, and premiered this summer at Ellis Island in New York, where it was seen by 500,000 visitors. The show will remain on display at the Greer Museum through Dec. 15 before continuing · , its tour across the nation. "We're excited about this exhibit because of the significant Welsh community in this area," said James Allen, director of the Greer Museum. "They have been generous to this institution and it's an honor to have this exhibition here for the entire semester." The show features touch screens where visitors can enter their names and learn about their connec'tion to the Welsh cnlture, floor to ceiling banners that describe the history of the Welsh people, maps, photographs, and a widescreen TV that plays a 15 minute film, "Star Spangled Dragon," which chronicles the struggles of Welsh. immi~r~ts both in the past and in the j)resent d~y. .

The Gallipolis Daily Tribune reported: "The Reds arrived from Pomeroy this morning. They won from the Hartford team at Syracuse ball park yesterday afternoon. The Reds leave for Charleston this evening. They were guests of the Park Central while here. Col. Frank Bancroft, the oldest baseball business manager in the world, is with the Reds and looking after the finances. As we $0 to press, the Cincinnati Reds are playing the Gallipolis club at the Fairgrounds. The day is ideal and a large crowd is in attendance." The Reds in 1911 ended the regular season with a record of 70 and 83, which was good for sixth place. The manager was Clark Griffith, who later became famous as the owner of the Washington Senators and Minnesota Twins. Prior to the 1911 season, the Reds made their first blockbuster trade in histpry with Philadelphia, · acquiring, among other players, Eddie Grant. Persons who remember the old Polo Grounds in New York will remember the monument that stood in centerfield. That structure was dedicated to the memory of Eddie Grant, who died in the Argonne Forest in World War I. The big disappointment for the ladies of Gallipolis was that Dode Paskert, the bestlooking Reds player and a · sensation in 1909 here, had been traded. The Reds did bring to Cincinnati the first two Cuban players to have ever played in the National League, Armando Marsans and Rafael Almeida. Reading the Cincinnati papers during the time that the Reds played in Gallipolis reveals two interesting things. First, the socalled "hot stove" league had already started as people were speculating as to who owner Gary Herrmann would hire as the next manager. with Griffith leaving. In fact, the firing of Griffith was done just a few days prior to the Gallipolis appearance. The newspapermen following the Reds on this trip through Ohio even broke the story from the Gallipolis trip that the players wanted Griftith back for another year. Meanwhile, most of the reporters were glad to see Griffith go. In interviews with the players, fans at the various games and other reporters, five manager candidates emerged: Hughie Jennings, Roderick Wallace, Heine Wagner, Mike Doolan and Joe Tinker. The last named man was of that famous double play wmbination of the Cubs, Tinker to Evans to Chance. The second interesting thing is that in 1911, representatives of the Reds and the Cleveland team cooked up an idea called the Ohio Series in which the two teams would play a best of seven series to · determine which team was the best pro team in Ohio. This series would run concurrent with the World Series and concluded just a few days before the Reds came to Gallipolis. In that first-ever Ohio Series, the Reds won four games to two. Attendance was not good. In fact, more people attended the Reds game in Gallipolis than attended the second game in Cleveland. · Gallipolis, which had which had in three previous meetings with the Reds, hired some pro athletes to battle the Reds.• decided to just use the .OHE. team as the opposition. The Reds won easily 12-3.

History students research Holzer Medical Center helps tobacco users quit - Smokers proportionately affected by famed 'Black Sox' scandal andGALLIPOLIS other tobacco users gain the use of tobacco. RIO GRANDE Students at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College are researching the famed Black Sox World Series scandal. and talking to some of the nation 's leading experts on the topic. One expert, historian Gene Carney, will even visit the Rio Grande campus on Oct. I0 to address the class in a speech that will also be open to the public. The students are . all enrolled in a history and historian research class taught by associate professor Sam Wilson . In the class, Wilson chooses several topics of interest to the students, alld ·the students select one topic to work on during the semester. In past years, his. students have done research on topics such as McCarthyism, America's entry inlo World War I and the atomic bomb. In the course, the students learn more aboul an important time in U.S. history, and they also gain research skills through their work. The Black Sox scandal is important because of the time in which it happened, and the impact it had on the game of baseball and on the country. In 1919, America was recovering from World War I, people were moving from rural areas into the urban ce nt ers, there was labor unrest and the country hall numerous other problems. . "On top of all of that, you had the -Black Sox scandal," Wilson sai d. The Black Sox scandal refers to how eight players for baseball\ Chicago White Sox were accused of throwing the World Series against the Cincinnati Reds, and allowing the Reds to win as pari of a gambling scandal. The sca ndal led to the eight players, including star "Shoe less" Joe Jackson , being suspended from bas.:ball for life. The scandal also brought about many changes in baseball, ·such as the creation uf the commissioner position. At the time, baseball was the country's most popular sport and the · World Series was "A merica's proudest tradition," Wilson explained. The gambling >candal damaged the game and upset many people in th<.! country. " It . was jusi unAmerican," Wilson said. Many of his ·students know very little about the fllack Sox scandal. which . makes it a good topic for them to research. Several movies have been made in the last 20 years about the situation, including "Eight Men Out" and "Field of Dreams.'.' Wilson explained that while these movies were popular, they don't tell the w~ole story of the scandal and have led to some misconceptions about the entire affair. His students will be looking past the movies and will research books, films and interviews with the players, and numerous articles. They will also have the opportunity to take part in on-line discussions with leading historical expetts, as well as hear from author and researcher Gene' Carney in person in October. · Another experl the stu, dents will be able' to 1alk to is Susan Dillinger. whose grandfather, Edd Roush, played for the C: inc innat\ Reds in the 1919Wurld Series: Each student has been assigned to research a different individual in volved in the scandal, such as certain players. managers and baseball officials. Wilson' s students are already taking a strong interest in the topic and are working hard on til e project. The stud ents are learning more about an important time in U.S. history through the class , but the y are also learnin g more about doing effective resea rch, Wil son said. He enjoys working with students on these types of projects, and said that he ts proud to brin g histori ans su•·h as Camey to campus. .

Federal government analysts are predicting the lowest olive production in 25 years. California farmers were hurt by an unseasonably warm January, followed by a cold snap in February and heavy rains in the spring. Analysts project a. 50,000 ton crop, 65 percent less than last year and the lowest amount since 1981. California produces about 99 percent of the nation's olives. W.~lef'l-"7 Counties Llk NIDOne Callia, SUNDAY PUZZLER &unbap t:imn ·&mtind • Page D3 ,....., ...... , *"'Mason BY BETSY BLANEY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER I FRESNO, Calif. - The California orchards that produce nearly all domestic olives were hammered by harsh weather this year, leaving growers with the smallest harvest in .25 years . The hit to th~ state's $59 million industry will likely drive up jllices and dig into processors. stockpile of canned olives, said Adin Hester, president of the Olive Growers Council. "We won't see olives disappearin~ from shelves, but pnces wtll probably go up. The inventory that's remaining has suddenly become more valuable," he said. Mid-September marks the beginnillg of the olive harvest, a time when tree limbs usually droop heavy with fruit. But this year, many farmers are reporting lighter than average crops. Some have orchards so sparse, they will not bother to harvest. "We entered the year expecting about three tons per acre," said farmer Dan Dreyer, whose family has grown olives for 50 years in Tulare County, the top olive-producing region in the country. "With the cold snap we thought, 'OK, it'll be smaller:' Then the rains .came. Then heat. We kept lowering our estimate until we realized we weren't going to have anything," he said. . In Northern California, buds that grew during an unusually warm January were damaged by a cold snap the following month. Counties such as Tehama and Glen reported near total losses. In the San Joaquin Valley, storms knocked blossoms off the trees and rain soaked pollen into the ground. Analysts with the U.S. Department of Agriculture project a 50,000-ton crop this year, about 65 percent lower than last year's 142,000 tons and the smaU. est harvest since 1981. Last year, the crop harvested by Tulare County growers alone was 56,000 tons, The table olive industry will suffer most because olives used for oil make up only about I 0 percent of this year's expected crop, according to the USDA. The weather ·problems come at a time when many olive growers are already worried about an industry that has steadily declined for years. Foreign competition coupled with California's high cost for labor and water has crippled the business, Dreyer said. Domestic growers once dominated the food services market, but producers in Spain, Morocco.

Sure, next year you could order seeds and grow you own transplants or buy transplants, just as you did this year. But what if the place where you bought the transplants doesn't carry tha\ particular variety next year, or the seed company no longer carries those seeds? Newer varieties of tomatoes, jusi because they are new, often upstage older ones, sometimes making it " Newaeveloper raises hope along Cincinnati's riverfront, A6 Sunday, Septeptber 17, 2oo6 difficult to buy transplants or seeds of some of the very tastiest heirloom tomato varieties. That's why seeds or transplants of delectable tomatoes such as Rose de Berne, Carbon, and Belgian Giant, for example, are hard or impossible to tlnd. Saving your own tomato seeds is an easy way to get· around this problem. The only ·e xceptions would be hybrid varieties and the few varieties that don't self-pollinate, such as potato-leaf types (Brandywine, for example) and small, delectably sweet curran! -tomatoes. l'lybrid types revert to their inferior parents, and tomatoes that don't self pollinate pick up genes from other varieties ne.lrby. In the latter case, reduce chances for cross-pollination by not growing these varieties near other varieties. For other tomatoes, look to the plants themselves in selecting fruit from which to save seed. If you have more than one plant of your favorite variety, look for the healthiest plant bearing fruit most typical of that variety. · No need to sacrifice your best tomato fruits. Choose a fruit and slice it in half, not through the stem end but the other way. The seed-containing locules are now staring at you, so turn each fruit half upside down over a glass and squeeze enough to dribble out the seeds. Now go ahead and eat the tomato. Sprouting inhibitors around the seeds are why · tomato seeds don't germinate within the juicy fruits. You need to get rid of these inhibitors by adding a little water to the tomato mush and then letting it ferment. After two or three days, pour the seeds into a fine strainer, then rinse them and shake of('the excess water. Spread the moist seeds on a paper towel and leave them in a dry place. A protected spot in sunlight or a gentle fan will speed drying.

Meigs County Commissioners are seeking voter approval of a month! y fee on all land telephone lines in order to finance E-911 service in the county: It would generate approximately $32,000 in funds each year to operate the system, and would also allow the county to access funds now held in the county's name at the state level, collected from wireless telephone customers by state law. Commissioner Jim Sheets said last week the state fund has approxi mately $25,000 in Meigs County's name , but the county must have an E-911 plan and means elf implementing the service before it can be . d accessed.
