' Dear Editor: During the course of our lives, we sometimes have to ask for help, and it is 'proper to thank those who help us. I want to say thank you to the Gallipolis Police Department for all the help that they have given to my mother during my father's illness. 'Dad -was on a walker for the last few years. After several strokes he became weak on his left side and.had trouble keeping ~is balance. He would fall especially at night. Mother would call 911 and two policemen would show up at her door to help put Dad back to bed or back in his chair. It makes me furious when people talk about our police force. They are just human beings, not supermen, and cannot always be at the right place all the time. They are fine men who do a lot 0f good that never gets told ... So, I wanted to thank them for all the good that they do, especially when it · comes to lending a helping hand and kind words to someone who needs them. · . Thank you guys, for all that you do ... and may God bless all of you. · Cheryl Enyart and the Dick _Thomas family Gallipolis TWice I have underestimated Howard Dean. I never thought he'd be competitive in the democratic primaries and, not learning my lesson, I foolishly predicted he would never get the top job at . the Democratic National Committee. So l won't blame you if you stop reading my latest thoughts about Dean. The Governor is a driven man who brings a sense of certainty to a party in trouble. The Democrats are waffling around all over the place. The left-wing of the party goi battered by the successful Iraqi election, a beating that caused Ted Kennedy to skip the State of the Union address. The .uber-liberal faction of the Democratic party simply has no traction whatsoever in the court of public opinion. Moderate democrats are·in much better shape, which is why you are seeing Hillary · Clinton running to the center: Senator Clinton now says she understands -and respects those who oppose abortion, and she's demand- condemnation of Republicans is soothing! for many hardcore Democrats who are beyond furious that the GOP. is rynning things. Dean's denunciation of all Bill things right, as in right-wing, O'Reilly gets juices flowing on the left. Thus, the Governor has become the second most powerful Democrat in country behind Senator Clinton. ing tough action on national By most accounts, Hillary · security problems.

Michael Moore category This kind of in-your-face and demonize him all day a long. The truth is that Howard Dean is not a flaming left-winger, but many of _,his supporters are, and Dean _ has embraced them. Also, the more successful · President Bush is in Iraq, the worse Dean will look and, by extension, so will most Democrats , including Hillary. So why did the party turn to a man with so _ many negatives? The answer' is that Dean can fire people up. And that's no small feat in Democratic circles. John Kerry was the ultimate party pooper. He had all kinds of trouble getti ng folks, including the Democratic choir, to sing along. Stodgy is probably the best word for Kerry. 1'he Dems badly need charisma, and Dean· has it. But.- all in all, _Howard Dean will probably hurt his party. He is generally intolerant of red state values, and Republicans will seize upon this to serve up Dean, Hillary ·and liberal extremism in one puffed-up souffie. And that will certainly be a tasty dish for the party in power. · · HElLO... M.Y NAME IS HERg AND I HAVE AN INROX DEPENDENCY PROBLEM. Today is Sunday, Feb. 13, the <)4th day of 2005.

STANLEY SAUNDERS MONUMENTS ' South of Baghdad, gunmen shot dead a Sunni imam who worked for an endowment that handles fu_nds for mosques. The man's son was also killed in the shooting. Their bodies were lound dumped on a highway Thursday, officials said. It wasn'tclear if the attack was a reprisal killing by Shiites seek. mg . revenge for. msurgent attacks on their community. Friday's violence underscored some of the violence inflicted on Shiites by Sunni Ar~b extremists, who form the core of Iraq 's insurgency. On Friday, a vegetable truck rigged wiltl explosives blew up outside a Shiite mosque northeast of Baghdad, and gunmen sprayed automatic fire into a bakery in a Shiite district of the capital in sectarian violence that killed at least 23. The attacks occurred as election officials announced provisional final results from the Jan. 30 elections for provincial councils in 12 of the · 18 provinces, showing Shiite · religious groups winning over secular tickets in local races in much of the country. · - Final results from the more closely watched national race for the 275-member National Assembly are expected- in a few days. A Shiite-dominated · ticket endorsed by the clergy is also leading in the national contest, indicating the growing infl\lence of religion in the politics of the new Iraq. In other violence: • A suicide dri-ver rammed a U.S. Bradley Fighting Vehicle and exploded in Salaheddin province north of Baghdad, injuring three soldiers, the military said. • TWo Iraqi' civilians were killed during a clash between U.S. troops and insurgents in Mosul. • U.S. Marines killed two insurgents during an attack Friday night on a Marine position near Husaybah along the .Syrian border, the military said.

Dwp ll1ll 5tlol POMEROY -Valentines can express a range of feelings, from romantic to friendly or somewhere in between, and there are thousands out there from which , to select just the right one for your significant other or your older brother. . The well-filled shelves of stores selling · cards are proof enough of the popularity of Valentine's Day. More than a billion valentines are expected to be exchanged this year, not just between lovers as they were centuries ago, but by family and friends who just want to show their atfection for one another. ·Not all, however, will be sentimental aR<I sweet, or for that matter what might even be called "contemporary chic." Some will be humorous, and a few may even poke fun at the recipient or love itself. There will even be a few which G3IT)' a bit of sarcasm or a slight insult - a more subtle version of what years ago were called "vinegar valentines," "rudes and crudes'' and "penny dreadfuls." Most, however, will convey a message of "looking at the world through the eyes of love," expressed through a printed 'verse in a beautiful card decorated with "bits of ribbon, bits of lace, hearts and flowers all in place." While it may be the "thought that counts" when sending most holiday cards, for valentines It's the verse. No old rhymes like "roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you," but real words of affection like "we've been together all this time, and still! hope you know, your love has meant much more to me, · than I could ever show." The exact origin of Valentine's Day is still somewhat in question, but perhaps the most popular version gives • .• w-OOit to.a young priest behind bars in Rome in 270 A..D.The stdry goes that the young man was behea'aed for refusing Jo honor a pagan god but not before he fell in love with the jailer's blind daughter, healed her, and sent her a message signed "From your Valentine." His name was Valentinus . ' A less-known legend about Valentine 's Day dates back to the ancient Roman festival known .as the Feast of Lupercalia. Celebrated on Feb. 14 - the day that birds were thought to maie - the feast honored the pagan god Lupercus. The celebration included a "love lottery" in which young maidens would write their names on fancy cards and pla'ce them in a large urn in the public square. The unmarried men would each in turn select a woman's card from the urn and would then coun her for a year. · It doesn 't really matter which version, if either, of the origin of Valentine's Day is true. What does matter is that Valentine' s Day provides a wondeiful opponunity to express feelings of affection, to show appreciation for support from family, to renew and cultivate friendships, and to just basically connect with others. Because valentines convey feelings of one person for another, there is a tendency to tuck old valentines away for safe keeping. Many times they are found years later . by family members or friends in attics and basements, sometimes.pasted in albums or scrapbooks, other times midst love letters tied together with ribbon. · Finding valentines ,with sentimental messages sent by deceased loved ones can bring about a time of reflection . and reminiscing about the good times together and the warmth of the shared relationship. While for some a valentine may be little more than a card to be read and discarded, for many others it is a:keepsake :~~ be cherished, a reminder of th~:- ~wpor- · tance of orle person to annother.

Realistically, you know that you're probably not going to win the lottery. But you could get an inheritance. And, depending on its size , it could give you a'n enormous boost toward achieving your long-term financial goals - if you · use the money wisely. Oiie of the smartest moves you can make may be to do nothing - at least, for a while. · Many financial experts agree that it's a good idea to wait six months to a year before making any major financial or investmel!! moves rei ated to an inheritance . You won 't want to let emotions dictate these kinds of decisions, so take your time: Consider putting the funds in a money market account, a Certificate of Deposit or a short-term bond; you can get a decent return, and you'll have access to the money when you're ready to use it. Furthermore, you may need some of this money handy to pay any taxes that mi ght accompany your inheritance . • Look for liquidity, · growth and income - Once a reasonable time has passed, you' II be ready to put your inheritance to work. No matter what your individual situation looks like, you can almost certainly benefit by adding elements of liquidity, income apd growth ·to your financial holdings. How can you do this? Let's look at some possibilities: April Rice • Liquidity for emergency fund If you haven't already set up an emergency fund conuiming three to six months ' worth of living expenses, you might want to use. part of your inheritance to do so. Once you've established this fund, you won' t have to dip into your investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as a major car repair or a new appliance. Keep your emergency fund in a vehicle that offers quick access and a decent return , such as a money market account. • Growth for retirement accounts - If you invest part of your inheritance in a high quality, diversified array of investments, you can greatl y accelerate th e progress you make toward a comfortable retirement. · For example, if you couldn' t afford to "max out" on your 40 I(k) plan at work because you needed to keep your take-home pay at a certain level , your inheritance mi~ht help. And it may also g1ve you the ability to contribute the maximum to your Roth or Traditional IRA. • Income from dividends - To increase your current · • Celebrating special (Jays with you! income, cons.ider using some of your inheritance to invest i1i stocks that pay dividends. Due to recent changes .in tax laws, dividends are now taxed at a maximum rate of 15 percent previously, they were taxed at your current income tax rate. (This 15 per-· cent rate is effective through Dec . 31, 2008 .) Look for stocks that have regularly rncreased their dividends, year after year. Keep in mind, however, that stocks are subject to market risk, including the potentiai .IQSS·of principal invested, and they may not a! ways pay dividends.

Guidelines say, 'Get moving!' Why do the 2005 Dietary Guide.lines contain a section on physical activity? What does that have to do with good nutrition? Physical activity and diet are like two sides ofthe same potato pancake - calories in and calories out. So, you really can't talk. about good, adequate nutrition without also addressing physical activity. The fact is, mortality rates from any cause of death are lower for physically active people than for sedentary people. RecommendatiOns in the guidelines call for anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes of "moderate-intensity" physical activity per day, such as hiking, doing yard work, walking at a rate of about 3.5 miles per hour (about 2,000 steps every 17 minutes), or 'bicycling at less than I0 miles an hour. About 30 minutes a day of this level of activity -above and beyond your normal activity for the day - helps reduce the risk of chroni'c disease such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer _ and osteoporosis. The guidelines also recommend an addition.al 30 minutes of daily activity to prevent gradual weight gain as we age. For people who were previously overweight or obese, another 30 minutes or 90 minutes a day most days of the week- may be necessary to sustain the weight loss.

Slip the old cover off and slip the new cover on. The sleeves to which we refer also come with their very own caps, making them not only attractive but completely watertight as well. Couple these plastic sleeves with the steel post bases mentioned earlier and you end up with a fence post system _that takes the "rot" out of fj:ncing. Keep in mind that the horizontal rails . (2x4s) can be covered, too. Hollow plastic fence boards are light in weight, easy to attach and easy to replace. If you don't care for plastic, you need to visit a differentsection in the big b:ox store'in yo'ur neighborhood -- the pre-fabbed steel fence.section. Pre-fabricated steel fencing is a breeze to assemble and install. Sections snap or bolt in place and, once in place, the job is done. There's nothing to paint or weather'seal. It's all done for you at the factory. . Typical steel fences include rail sections. posts and connectors that join them. Each section of fence (available in multiple heights) requires two posts and each post requires two mounting brackets. So, for a typical ftrst section of fence , one needs a rail section, two posts and four mounding brackets (two twobracket sets). Oh yes; the mounting bracket kits come complete with nuts and bolts, The next section of fence requires an additional post, and again, two bracket kits (four more brackeis). Even though there are a Jot of them, the bracket kits aren't very expensive. • ·Steel fencing is now a do-it-yourself alternative that simply was not available 20 years ago. And, that's all there is to it. nd what worked then still does today. However. there are more alternatives now than ever · before, altemati ves that can save you time and money. . For example: If you don't like the idea of digging. post holes you can purchase a steel device (which kind of looks like a giant railroad spike) that can be driven directly into the ground (no concrete neefleo) and; once in place, the above-ground portion becomes a· post base while the .below-ground portion acts like a pier support. The fence post is connected to the post base with a pair of nuts and bolts. The wooden post. remains above . ground and free of termite damage and accelerated rot associated with' typical earthen install11tions. Fence materials are still a varied as ever, but there is now the addition of composite materials. Keep in mind that these new materials are often more beautiful than the "conventiqnal fence materials" we are used to .seeing: But don't be misled. These ne~ materials require as much maintenance as their natural solid-wood relatives. So, whaiever you think you won't have to do with the new choices in synthetic materials, just keep in mind what some·have to say on the issue: Forget about it The work•is the same.

By:· Stephen E. Popper, D.O., Ph.D., M.P.H. . ' Cold weather challenges are not just how frigid temperatures can affect your body when a cold spell or storm hits. Yes, extreme cold can · cause hypothermia (an extreme lowering of the body's temperature), frostbite, and deaih, but fireplaces, emergency heaters, and candles used during cold weather can be as haz11rdous to your health. Hazards, _such as starting household fires and generating toxic fumes, such as carbon monoxide, from heaters causing asphyxiation (unconsciousness or death from a lack of oxygen) are alsp serious threats. Hazardous road conditions also contribute by increasing car accidents. . ' Serious h~alth problems can result from prolonged exposure to the cold. The most common cold-related problems are hypothermia and frostbite. When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be pro- · duce.d. Prolonged exposure to c~ld will eventually use up your body's stored energy. The result is hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature. Body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This.makes hypothermia particularly dangerous be.:;ause a person may not know It is happening and won't be able to do anything about it. . Hypothermia is most likely at very.cold temperatures, but it can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40?F)jf a person becomes chilled from wind, rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water. Victims of hypothermia are often ( 1) elderly people with inadequate food, clothing, Gr heating; (2) ·.babies sleeping in cold bedrooms; (3) people wbo remain outdoors for )ong periods-the homeless, hikers, hunters, etc. ; and (4) people who drink alco• hoi or use illicit drugs. You must be able to recog- nize tht: warnings signs of hypothermia: Adults: shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech, drowsiness. Infants: bright red, cold skiiJ, very low energy. If you noti·ce any of these signs, take the person's temperature. If it is below 95?, the situa. tion is an emergency - get medici!! attention immediately. A person with severe hypothermia may be unconscious and may not se.em to have a pulse or . to be breathing. In this case, handle the victim gently, and get emergency assistance immediately. · Even if the victim appears dead, CPR should be provided. CPR sho~ld continue while the victim is being warmed, until the victim responds or medi~;al aid becomes .available. In some cases, hypothermia victims who appear ,to be dead can be successfully resuscitated. Cold weather also puts an extra strain on the heart. If you have heart disease or high blood pressure, follow your doctor's · advice about shoveling snow or performing other . hard work in the cold. Otherwise, if you have to do heavy outdoor work, dress ·.varmly and work slowly. Remember, your body is already working hard just to stay warm, so don't overdo it Anounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Before a ·winter storm hits, stock up on emergency supplies for communication (make sure you at least have a ·battery-powered radio for listening to local emergency instructions in case there is a power failure- have extra batterie~) ; food and safety (one 'week's worth of food and safety supplies ~ such ·as drinking water, no11-electric can opener, canned/no-cook food [bread, crackers, dried fruits], rock-salt to melt ice on walkways, fl~shlight and . extra batteries, battery-powered lamps or lanterns [to prevent the risk of fire, avoid using candles], first"aid kit, supply of cat litter or bag of sand to add traction on walkways; heating (make sure you have a non-electric source of heat); and car(flashlight, blankets, ice scrapper, folding shovel, sand and/or rock salt) in case a storm hits. Proteci your water supply. Extreme cold can cause water pipes in your home to freeze and sometimes break . .Leave all water taps slightly open so they drip continuously. Keep the indoor temperature warm. Allow more heated air near pipes. Open kitchen cabinet doors under the kitchen.sink. If your pipes do freeze, do not thaw them with a torch. Thaw the·pipes slowly with warm air from an electric-hair dryer. If you cannot thaw your pipes, or if the pipes have broken open, use bottled water or get water from a: neighbor's home. Have bottled water on hand. In an emergency - if no other Water is available 7 snow can be melted for water, Bringing water to rolling boil for' one minute will kill most germs but won't get · rid of chemicals sometimes found in snow. Taking preventive action is your best defense against having to deal with. extreme coldweather conditions. By preparing your home and car in advance for winter emergencit:s, and by observing safety precautions during times of extremely cold weathe:r, you can reduce the risk of weather-related health problems. · a Racine Police Marshall appeals to public .
