Please remind women that-when they sched-_ ule themselves for a mammogram, they should schedule their husbands for a prostate exam and PSA test. There's . an abundance of advertising about breast exams, yearly checkups and women's health centers, but little is see n about the same thing for men. Prostate. cancer is a serious problem if it's not detected before the symptoms show up ; by then it's already spreading outside the prostate. You know that men put off medical visits more often than women, so if you could get women involved in our health we migh't be around a lot longer. As a prostate cancer survivor, I know ftom personal experience that early-stage prostate cancer has no symp, toms and. · having been cancere free for the past six years.

I am in the eighth grade at Meigs Middle School. I am writing to complain about· our polluted surroundings. There is so much trash lying about from public littering. lt makes our community look like we aren't concerned about it. When I'm out walking around, I notice people staggering by . little pieces of waste, just staring at it. They don't even take some time out.to bend over to pick it up and toss it away. I assume that our environment might be cleaner if we have more garbage cans. For instance,. put two garbage , cans. every half mile to a mile, one for recycling and one for anything. We could put poster boards up, asking for money to get more trash cans, or we could even get some kids to participale in going around to people, ask;ng them if they'd •donate some money to help our envi·ronment stay clean. Maybe we could even try to get more· volunteers to help clean up.

Homeowners who ·have watched their yards slide into • the Ohio River and its tributaries because of the accident have sued a towboat company and an Ohio utility.

Bob Taft easily defeated little-known Democrat Tim Hagan to win re-elect.ion in 2002 . Coleman told The Columbus Dispatch for a story on the newspaper's Web site that he. felt he had a "duty" to try to break the GOP's 13year hold on the office. "It's because our state's in crisis," Coleman said. "I don't think our state can afford more of the same . ... It's time for a change." · Coleman, 50, would bring a formidable cam_paign to the ·Democratic ticket ·Republican Chairman Bob Bennett acknowledged Coleman's popularity but said the· Republican nominee will be able to run a strong campaign should Coleman win the nomination: "He has a central Ohio base in a Republican .area, so that's obvious he's strong with independents. He also has a record and we'll be talking about that," Bennett said. "Whoever · the Democrats put up is going to be a formidable candidate for the Republicans, but we say 'bring it on."' Democratic Chairman Denny White has worked with Coleman since the 199\ls, when White headed the Franklin County party. White said Coleman would be an exciting candidate but added that neither he nor the party has made any endorsement. "He brings administrative experience, managing one of the ta'rgest and most diverse cities in the state. He brings experience running statewide. Mike knows how to raise money and he's also a winner," White said. Coleman, the popular mayor of Ohio's largest city since 1999, ran statewide in 1998 as Lee Fisher's lieutenant-governor running mate. The Democrats lost to Republican Bob Taft's ticket by 5 percentage points. Coleman rolled up an easy victory the next year, becoming Columbus' first Democratic mayor in 28 years.

COLUMBUS- A state Supreme Court justice was pulled over and charged with driving under the influence after several motorists called to reJ)Ort an erratic driver on an ,interstate. "A strong odor of alcohol was detected" on .Justice Alice Robie Resnick, and police believe alcohol was the' reason for the erratic driving, Lt. Rick Zwayer, a State Highway Patrol spokesman, said Tuesday. Resnick, 65, of Toledo, was arrested Monday afternoon on Interstate 75 near Bowling G~een in northwest Ohio, Zwayer said. She failed field sobriety tests and refused to take a blood-alcohol content test, Zwayer said ..She also was charged with driving outside marked lines., Driving while intoxicated is a misdemeanor that carries a possible penalty of three days to six months in jail and a fine of $250 to $1,000. Re~n'ick's driver's license was suspended for a year for refusing the breath test, although a judge can revise the suspension to a shorter period or up to three years. A message seeking comment was left for Resnick, who did not -attend court hearings Tuesday on a death penalty case and a medical malpractice case. Resnick, a justice since 1989, is the court's only Democrat. Court offici'\ls said there is no automatic ·balance of $230,370.
