Attorney General's Office said Wednesday the matter is still considered "an ongoing investigation," and the agency does not comment on those cases. "We can't provide any more details at this time," Beasley said. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal investigation, an agency of the Attorney General's office, has been investigating .the theft of the cash evidence since May, when Meigs County Sheriff Robert Beegle confirmed it had been stolen from two locations in the sheriff's office. At that time, Beegle said he immediately referred the investigation to the BCI, llnd asked the agency's investigator to withhold details of the probe until it is completed. He said he asked only for a report when the investigation is completed, and has received no information about its findings. Beegle said the BCI investigator has interviewed sheriff's . employees and Middleport police officers in an effort to determine who took the cash. which Beegle said was being held as evidence in two pending crimi nal drug cases.

Also, place the plant away from hot or cold drafts and protect it from cold winds. Do not sit the plant next to heaters or on top of televisions as this shortens their life span.

AS POMEROY - Crossroads Counseling Center of Albany has beeri branching out to reach more of Meigs County by hosting free lectu'res on emotional disorders such as eating disorders and now depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Crossroads counselor Donna Adams will speak at the informal lecture on Tuesday. Dec. 13 at the Pomeroy Library where refreshments will also be served. The lecture will be for anyone, including those with depression or SAD, friends, parems, counselors, medical professional s, social workers, teachers and clergy. Adams said she thinks of depression as she would any other physical disorder. Depression can cause physical as well as emotional symptoms and can be treated with medication and/or behavior therapy. As for SAD it is a form of depression occurring at certain seasons or the year, especially when the individual has less exposure to sunlight. SAD also has successful forms of treatm.cnt, including light therapy and exercise. Depression and SAD can often become acute around the ·holidays. increasing stress, fatigue and disappointment. Adams said some advice she will be sharing at her lecture on how to avoid a blue Christmas would be for people to make reali stic expectations and pace themselves through tasks such as holiday shopping, cooking and visits with family and friends. "Don ' t take on more responsibility tll;m you can handle." Adams said. "Make a list and prioritize important activities to make tasks more manageable. Don ' t put all your effort into one day, spread around your holiday · cheer." Another aspect of the holidays that can be depressing for individual s is the realization that some old traditions -have changed due to the loss of a loved one . · Adams suggested those individuals feeling depressed about the holidays because of a loss not compare this holiday to what she.called, "The good old days." · "Try something new and ~elcbratc in a· new way," Adams added .

The Daily. Sentinel 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio PageA4_ Apparitions of the Virgin Mary are not that rare. One such phenomenon took place in November on the grounds of the Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church in Sacramento, Calif. A vision in front of a church may be plausible eimugh . - but a vision ·a stone's throw from a gas station? That, at any rate, was the story of two mechanics working in Zeitoun, outside Cairo, Egypt. They were greasing a car in April 1968, across the street from the Church of St. Mai-y, when they saw what appeared to be a nun in white on top of the large dome of the church·. One of the mechanics ·hurried to get the pastor of the church while the other summoned the police emergency squad. The priest agreed t.hat the cumulus configuration in the heavens resembled the outlines of the Virgin Mary getting ready to jump from the dome of the church. But the story didn't end there. The vision continued to appear on succeeding days and was seen by thousands of people who .came from miles around to see the apparition. · A committee of priests and bishops was formed by Pope ' Kyrillos of the Coptic Orthodox Church to investigate the phenomenon. In his report to Pope Kyrillos. one clergyman said, "There she was above the dome of St. Mary's Church, full figure, like a phosphorous statue, tudes, it has been seen in exactly the same way by all." Sometimes, the priest reported, the Virgin appeared with a. brilliant George crown of light above her Plagenz head "but the crown is not · always there." On occasions, he said, she is seen in full form but at other times only but not ;o stiff as a statue. the upper half appears.

Transfers I~ IT JUST ME,OR The two rnajor parties have now placed their bets, and a gamble is under way for the highest possible stakes: control of the government, and with it the · future of the United States. The Republican Party was the first to place its bet, and its gamble is .clear: It has bet on a successful outcome of the war in Iraq. After Sept. II, the swift invasion of Afghanistan , and the triumphant . toppling of Sa,ddam Hussein in just three weeks in the spring of 2003, that bet looked not only safe but positively brilliant. Since then, however, the war in Iraq has gone from good to bad to downrightdepressing, with a tenacious minority of insurgents intlicting painful losses on both the American forces and the Iraqi governmen! and people. American fatalities are, in fact, remarkably low, compared to those during Vietnam or Korea, let ·alone World War II, and are still scarcely two-thirds as great as those we suffered on that single morning in September 200 I; but that very fact has enabled the media to highlight every individual death, and public sentiment has hardened against the war. in the absence of any clear sign of victory ahead.

Jackie Darrell Caudill, 5.8, was 18 months into a l 0- to 25- year sentence for armed robbery when he escaped (rom the Osborn Honor Farm near this northern Ohio city in November 1971 , authorities said. Erie County sheriff's deputies turned Caudill over Thursday to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, which still had his 25-year-old mug shot posted Thursday evening on the most wanted section of its Web site. After three decades of living under aliases and working as a truck driver in numerous states, Caudill visited his ailing mother in Alabama several months ago and decided to surrender, authorities said.

Boy says parents accused of caging kids made him live in bathroom BY JOE MILICIA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER NORwALK •m •A• lloy whose parents are accused of making most of their 11 special-needs adopted children sleep in cages testified Thursday that the couple , • forced him to live in the bathroom as punishment for urinating in his enclosed bed. . On another occasion, Sharen and Michael Gravelle forced him to stay in his "box" for up to two weeks for taking peanut b~tter, bread and cereal from the kitchen, thnchool-age boy said at the Huron County Juvenile Court custody hearing. "I couldn'r~omf out of my room until l wrote the whole book of Deuteronomy," he said of one of his punish· ments. The boy said he has grown tired of his box. "Do you want to go back to live with lhe Gravelles?" · prosecutor Jennifer DeLand asked. "I don't know," replied the boy. The Gravelles are trying to regain custody of their chi!dren, ages l to 15, and have not been charged. The chi!dren were removed from the home · m September after a children services investigator visited and examined the cages, wh1ch she- compared to a kennel in testimony this week. The parents deny abusing the children and say they built enclosures with alarms to protect unruly youngsters with health and behavioral issues such as fetal alcohol syndrome, HIV and a disorder in which children eat nonfood items including dirt. During cross examination by the Gravelles' attorney, the boy testified he didn't know whether he · loved his parents. "llike.them. Thev're good· parents," he said. · ·Asked by attorney Kenneth Myers if he mi ssed the Gravelles, the boy said, "In some ways yes. in some ways had been poked .in the eye by chicken wire, said Bennmger, who quoted another boy sa·y· • ' 'SI eeping · in those beds, mg, those cages that they made, l didn't want to go to bed." In questioning by Myers, Benninger said the children he interviewed were "doing pretty well." Myers asked whether that was because of the care the children received from the' Gravelles or because they no longer lived in the couple's home. "Both would have to contribute," Benninger said. · Judge Timothy Cardwell will determine whether the children were abused or neglected. If the allegations ·are not proved, the Gravelles, who live near rural Wake111an in northern Ohio, could regain custody. . . The school-age boy grew tired toward the end of his 2 1/2 hours of testimony. mumbling and muttering responses. He indicated he felt safe at the Gravelles' house and missed siblings while in foster care. He also testified he was forced to sleep in . the bathroom for nearly three months because he wet his bed at night. Other times he wet his bed · he was forced to stand outside the house in the rain or snow, he said. "I was in a pair of shorts with no shirt or socks," he said of one of his punishments. Other siblings who wet the bed would get spanked or have to pull weeds .outside, he said. · Sharen Gravelle shook her head "no" frequently during his testimony and has said the children have lied to investi.gators. The boy said most of his brothers and sisters slept on wood with blankets but ·no pillows or mattresses in the cages. The boy said one sibling's head was shoved in a toilet. by a parent because she was drinking water out of it, and another had her head pushed into a toilet because she urinated in bed. The boy admitted lying often when he was youn~er and being violem-:lnd abustve toward his si6lings. Myers sought to establish that the Gravelles did not hold a child's head under water or shove a child's face into the wall as punishment, as an investigator testified. 'rhc boy explained that one child hated getting his hair washed and the parents had to hold his head under a faucet in a bathtub. One time they lost their grip and .he slipped, causing his nose to bleed when he hit a wall. 1 "[haven't had a whole let of time to get to know him, " said his daughter, Carri-e Caudill Harmon, adding, "! .d on't want people to judge him."

Bein!:1 ab le to "smell out" the locations of the missing key cards is a skill that. would make one tough to beat. This deal occurred during the Venice Cup women's match between Argentina and China in Estori l, Portugal, last October. The Argentine women stopped in four • hearts . South opened one heart, Nor th responded one , spade. South rebid a game-forcing three cl ubs, North jumped to four hearts, and South passed. North lhought she had shown eKtra values with three-card support, but South believed four hearts was a weaker action than three hearts. {I agree with South.) With the bad trump break, declarer lost two tricks and probably thought that her team had gained a lucky swing. The Chinese sequence began w1th a Precision club. promising 16-plus points. Three diamonds showed 11-13 points with heart support Five diamonds denied an ace or the trump king . West cashed the spade ace, then continued ·with another spade to dummy's queen, South shaking a club. The declarer. Valan Zhang, played a heart to her ace, noling East's nine. T~e percentage play now is a heart to dummy's queen. East is more likely to have J-9 or J-9-x singleton nine . But Zhang, •·sm'elling~ from the spade-ace lead that West thought she had a second tri ck, played a heart to dummy's 10. Now declarer had no trouble winning 12 tricks and gaining 13 international match po ints for Ghina CELEBRITY CIPHER . by Luis Campos Ct~blily C1 phtf cryp1oqrams . are created Irom auotat•ons by lamoos pecp-:e. paSt and present.

Afterward, River Valley coacl\ Harvey Brown delightfully spoke about his team's effort against Rucker and the Panthers. "It was a hard battle the whole way," said Brown. "We knew that Rucker was going to beat on us, and we took our Jumps, but we got it done." Early on ; it appeared that the Raiders wouldn't have to worry too much about Rucker, jumping out to an 18·9 first quarter advantage . RVHS hit half of its 18 shc\t attempts though eight minutes and forced nine turnovers in establishing that lead, while Chesapeake hit only 3·of.7 field goal tries and yielded only two takeaways over that same span. Momentum was clearly on River Valley 's side headed into the second period, but an O·for·8 shooting effort and nine turnovers allowed the Lady Panthers to go on an 8·3 comfortable 22 point lead and did exactly what was needed to put the game away. Buffalo didn't help matters with their poor free throw shooting, where they hit one· for·l 0 from· the line on their . way to six points in the final period of play. Only KeithAnn Sayre scored in the double digits during the game, grabbing 22 points along with four . rebounds and five steals. Derifeild scored eight points , Tulley had six points and four rebounds, Kayanna Sayre had four points and 12 rebounds, Keyes had four points and Jessica Hoffman scored three points and had six rebounds. . Buffalo was led by Chelsea Brown with eight points, Brittany Herdman with five, Cassi Conley with . four, Allison Hodges and Kellie Lewis with three and Callie Herdman · and Brooke Withrow with two points. Brown and Conley also run as they pulled to within 21·17 at break. Rucker scored all eight CHS points in the quarter and had II at halftime. At the break, RVHS shot just 9·of·26 from the floor and was 3·of4 at the free throw stripe, while Chesapeake sank 7·Of·15 from the field and was a dismal 2-of·IO at the foul line. The guests also had 16 giveaways at half, four more tnan the Raiders. l11e hosts held a 15·12 rebounding edge as well. . CHS continued its come· back in the third period, going on a 12·11 run to pull within 32· 29 headed down the stretch . The Lady Panthers contin· ued to claw away at the lead until they tied the game at 39 with 3:02 remaining. River Valley, which never trailed in the game, countered with a 6·3 run that scaled the deal on the win. Brown was pleased with how his squad finished out the contest, but he was concerned that his team couldn 't put CHS away after jumping out to such an early lead. "We played in spurts tonight.
