Nothmg could be funher from the truth. .The truth is, the Constitution is going to be altered one way or the other. Either that change will come from unelected, unaccountable judges intent on creating a right of homosexual couples to marry "\'hen the Constitution grants no such right; or it will come from the Amencan people, through this amendment, to preserve marriage as it has served society for · millennia.

Ornamental. pear trees, that's the blossoming kind, not the fruit bearing ones, will soon line the downtown streets of Middleport. One of the nice things about the 30 trees is that they will already be 15 to 18 feet tall when they are put into the ground. Meanwhile, the Middleport Community Association is in the process of seeki ng residents who might like to do a tribute in honor of or in memory of a loved one by sponsoring a tree . The cost is $200 which includes a permanent plaque to be displayed with the tree. The trees have already been ordered, the person to plant them hired, and the expectation is that they will all be in place before Apri I ends, says Tom Dooley. You may remember that for many years trees lined the downtown streets, but they became so overgrown that they had to be removed. Since then annuals have been planted in the squares where the trees were taken out. · But once again there will . be trees and what a di{ference they should make in the attractiveness of the village. . . Thirteen MeigS' history buffs donned old clothes and high shoes on a recent Saturday and made a trek to Horse Cave at Bashan -that place where the famed author Ambrose Bierce was born. , They were looking for anything to make the connection .and what they discovered was the foundation of an old bam and a root cellar which they think was pan . of the Bierce homestead.

Somehow, a rumor got started that you shoufd not throw rice at the bride and groom, hecause if birds eat the rice, it swe ll s up in ·their s10machs. and they (the birds) explode. Well, guess what? According to the Internet and if we can't trust the Internet, who the hell can we trust'' - birds do NOT explode from eating rice. Avocados, yes : that is exact ly why we do not throw avocados aJ the bride and groom. But rice is fine , except, of course , for the <:arbohydrates. Unfortunately, many brides believe the exploding-bir<.lmyth , and so, as an alternative to throwing rice, they have come up with a new. and truly alarming, tradition : releasing live butterflies -ut weddings. I am nol making this trend up. There are butterfly-breeding farms that ship boxes of butterflies . .at .about;G ro per head of hutterlly, to wedding' all over the country. That's correct: We have reached the point, in this once -g reat nation, where people are 'payi-ng to have in,ec" at their weddings .' What' s next? Colorful snakes? I have here an e-mail from an alert reader who actually participated in a wedding butterfly release. This. reader, who asked to remain namele ss, offers this chilling account: ' ... · it was undoubtedly the creepiest thing I have ever done. The butterflies were kept in tiny, tiny boxes and we had to stand there looking cheerful as they frantically tried to escape those tiny, tiny boxes. practically flying away (box and all) in the process. Some, tragically, did not survive the attempt. And let me tell you, nothing says 'I love you' like a dead butterfly.' On behalf of wedding guests everywhere, I beg of you brides: Stop this insanity 1 It's only a matter of time before a rogue bull Monarch buttertly. driven insane by his ordeal in captivity, lunges from his box at a wedding reception and, in a blind rage of fury, brings· down an airplane . In conclusion, wedding season is a magical time. To the brides out there, T say: -May you have the most wonderful, most special, most expensive, most gunfire-free wedding ever.

He admits that the time leading up to the election has always been a stressful time. He breathed a sigh of rei ief when he noted th'in the last two levies passed the first time they were on the ballot.

Phil . · Mickelson put himse lf in : position - again - to win : his first major champi : onship . The 23-year-old Rose, who led after the first two rounds of the Masters, needed only : three boles to squander the : two-stroke lead he brought : into Saturday's third round. . Starting out with three · straight bogeys , Rose ceded ..his lead to Mickelson. Lefty came to Augusta : with an 0-for-42 record in : the majors - despite numer, ous close calls in the four :.biggest tournaments. · Maybe thi s will be his year. Mickel son sank a 25: foot putt at No. 3, sending . : the Augusta National gallery · into a frenzy, and rolled in : short birdie putts at 7 and S : to get to 6-under. , Equa11y important , he ' ' saved par at 6 with an ISfooter, showing the sort of : steady putter that has : plagued him in past majors. , With Tiger Woods showing : no signs of making a charge. · Lefty became the clear : crowd favorite. And maybe hi s luck in the mujors is finally shifting. On Friday, he got a hu ge break on the par-5 13th when his b~ll stopped short of going into Rae's Creek. He turned a bogey into a birdie and shot 69. Chris DiMarco, who made a hole-in-one Thur sday. bounced back from a di,appointing second-round finish to make three birdie, .on th e front nine. , leaving him une stroke behind Mickel,on . Ernie Els. a three-time winner in the majors. \vas having ano ther big week at Augusta . He hasn't fini,hed lower than sixth the last four years,and he was right hack in the mix for that fir.q ~reen jacket with a couple or'earl) birdies. Els was two stroke, off the lead at the turn . Sweden 's Frcdri~ Jaco bson posted tlie bc>t round of the early finisher,. charging onto the leade rboard with a S-under 67 that matched the low score of the week. If the hole looked like . a manhole cove r to Jacob .,on. it probably resembled a thimble to Ro,e . The youngest pro in the field. he immediately felt the burden of llis 36-hnle lead. Hi s first tee shot plopped in the bunker. the approach was lnng anti he couldn't ~t't up-anJ-Ziown . At :'\o. 2. 'an errant pitch landed in the fi r~t rn\\ Df fan-... leadin g to another bu~e~ .

Nuxhall began his transition to part-time broadcaster Friday, allowing newcomer Steve Stewart to join Marty Brennaman in the booth for a ganie against Pittsburgh . As he wheeled his bag down the concrete concourse. Nuxhall was already missing the game. He nearly teared up as the significance of the moment sunk in. "I never thought I'd feel . " he sa1.d . "M an.1 'k . l 1 e tIus, Nothing I can do about it, so .. . I think I' II take off and go home." · Nuxhall, who holds the distinction .as the youngest player to appear in a major league ~arne, is broadcasting approxtmately. half of the games in this, his 38th season in the booth. Then he · will retire at age 76. He showed lillie emotion when his scaled-back schedule and retirement plans were announced, saying he · hadn't thought about the' end · of his career. That's all he was thinking about on Friday. "The message is starting to drop in," he said, with emotion in his voice. "The mes- sage is hilling now. But we'll make it." With that. he broke off the di scussion and walked away. While Nuxhall grappled with leaving , Stewart was tilling a notebook and getting ready for hi s ftrst game filling in for the "Old Lefthander." · Stewart, 41 , was chosen in Februari to take over for Nuxhall.

''This is my opening day, I guess." · "Marty and Joe " have broadcas t Reds games for the past 30 years . • LARSON'S LUCK: Third baseman Brandon Larson walked into the clubhou se Friday with a compression wrap on his right elbow and a look of di sbelief on his face. "Geez." he said. shaki ng hi s head as the door swung behind him . At least th e door didn 't hit him as il c losed. The way things are going for him lately. thai 's something. Larson's luck is as bad as it gets. He opened the season on the di sabled list after getting an eye infection and then turf toe during spring training. On the day he was cleared to resume working out with minor leaguers in Rorida, he stood in the box and got hit on the wrist He joined Triple-A Louisville to stan a medical rehabilitation assignment on Thursday, came to bat for the first time in a game against Richmond and got hit on the inside of the right el!J<;>w. "First at-bat, first pitchP' Larson said. "I can't catch a break. I th~ought about charging the mound or throwing my bat. I knew I had to come out. I ju st threw some stuff in the dugout.'' In a sense, he was lucky. X-rays found no fracture, so it won't be an extended setback. The club brought him back to Cincinnati for treatment, hoping to speed the recovery. The injury just added to his growing legacy. The firstround draft pick of 1997 has been slowed by a series of severe and often strange injuries. In 2002. he broke hi s toe on a pitch from Randy John so n. Three weeks later. he dove to the dugout floor to avoid a fou l ball and broke his left hand. "It seems like it's somethi-ng all the time for him.'' manager Dave Miley marveled. • LARKIN OUT: Shortstop Barry Larkin got the day off to work on his hitting.

CINCINNATI (AP) - With the game_down to its last out, Reds fans stood behind the dugout and chanted, "Fi_rstplace! First place!" In Cmcmnah, reachmg the top in April is something to celebrate. Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn homered Friday night, powering the Reds to a 5-l victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates that extended their uncharacteristically good stan. With their third straight win, the Reds moved into first place in the NL Central for the first time since June 17, 2002, when they were still playing at Cinergy Field with a big" ger payroll. It may be early, but it's still intoxicating . " You hear about the Cubs and the Astros," said Sean Casey, who had a two-run triple. "Hey, we're here to win the Central and go to the playoffs." Slow starts are more the norm for Cincinnati, which is 3-1 for the ftrst time si nce 1997. At two games over .500, the Reds have matched their high point from last season, when they moved into Great American Ball Park and lost 93 games . The Reds sold 9,461 tickets right before the game, their biggest walkup crowd since 1994. "lt's good to see that the fans are excited about what we ' re doing," Dunn said. "We feel we can compete in this division. It seems we're the o~ly people that think that.

A few weeks ago I got a call from Daily Sentinel reporter J. Miles Layton seeking comment about Ohio House Bill 444 introduced on March 25, and sponsored by our State Representative Jimmy Stewart. The bill basically calls on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to _pay a $50 bounty on coyotes. At the time I didn't have any comment on the proposal , mainly because I hadn't heard of it, but I gave: him a little background on the coyote problem or, more specifically, the la~k of coyote problem in the county. However, upon further reflection I do have some observations, which I'll get to later, but first a little information about coyotes: • Coyotes are a newcomer to the Buckeye state (and no, they were not stocked here) and most of the eastern United · States. They now live in every county of the state and are even comfortable living in urban areas, • The coyote is about as big as a Jim Freeman . . IN THE OPEN medium-size dog and fias a bushy tail with a black tip. Most are grayish in color but they can also be red-'. dish-brown or tan. They are primarily nocturnal , but occasionally come out during the day as wei I. . • Coyotes arc predators but they are very opportunistic in their feeding: they will eat practically anything from garbage in town, woodchucks, small rodents, road kill, you name it. While the majority of coyotes never bother livestock or poultry, occasionally some will prey on livestock or poultry. · In parts of Ohio. coyote perdition is a serious issue, but here in Meigs County we simply haven 't had a lot of coyote complaints. Most of the <:omplaints I get about coyotes are from people who are simply con- cerned by their presence, or frightened for their personal safety or the safety of their children or pets. Relax, nobody has been attacked by a coyote in Ohio. but animals and pets may be at risk. However there are commonsense ways you can protect your animals: proper fencing, not letting your dogs and cats wander (which you shouldn't do anyway), proper dis· posal of dead livestock (just dump· ing them in a gully ''past the back . 40" can possibly attract coyotes and help them develop a "taste" for livestock), use of guardian animals like trained dogs. donkeys or llamas, and targeting specific problem coyotes- just good, basic animal husbandry practices. In Meigs County more animals are killed by large. free-roaming dogs than by coyotes. The county dog warden can sometimes tell the difference by examination of the carcass, and he should be your first point of contact - there are indemnity programs to reimburse farmers for their animals. There are many things that cim kill domesticated animals, and the coyote is only one of these . Coyotes will eat free-roaming cats and smaller dogs, and those animals will just generally disappear without a trace, but remember that cats in particular li.ve a com'plex, violent life away from their homes and are frequently killed by dogs, cars, or even other cats. Now back to the proposed bounty ; don't get your hopes up on its passing, and furthermore it just wouldn't work. Consider this: various state and federal agencies have spent countless dollars over the past 150 years in efforts to eradicate the coyote, and to what result? Missouri had bounties from 1825 until 1968 when they were discontinued due to "ineffectiveness" of the program. Kansas had bounties from 1877 to 1970 and concluded that "the bounty systeni does not control predators or predator damage to poultry and livestock." How do you stop someone from taking coyotes in neighboring states like West Virginia and then bringing them into Ohio to collect the bounty? The answer is you can't, and at $50 a head , the temptation is definitely there. Bounties encourage cheating by bringing in animals Sunday, Aprilu, 2004 from outside of the state, and remove animals from areas where they are abundant, but not necessarily from areas where livestock damage is occurring. Money wasted on paying bounties would be more wi sely spent targeting specific problem coyotes. One comparison given· to me was that it was like a murder taking place in a city and the police deciding to remove 100 individuals in hopes of removing the killer in that process. The point is that targeting the individual is the key. . ../ Ohio already has the most liberal coyote hunting and trapping seasons possible. There is pretty much an open season on hunting and trapping coyotes, with no restrictions on hunting hours (except during deer gun season) and no bag limit. Furthermore , the Ohio State Trappers Association provides the Division of Wildlife with a list of OSTA members willing to help landowners with coyote problems.

W.Va. race series launches mountain bikers' careers BY MIKE ANDRICK For the Associated Press CHARLESTON, W.Va. Come August at the summer Olympic Games in Athen.s, . American mountain bike hopefuls Sue · Haywood and Jeremiah Bishop may be racing together, as they did in West Vrrginia not long ago. . Before becoming professional, cross-country mountain bike racers have to start somewhere. For Haywood, Bishop and other pros, that start cam~ in the West Virginia Mountain Bike Association point series, which ~ently celebrated its 15th year at Pipestem Resort State Parle "WVMBA is a great competitive series," said Haywood, a Davis resident who is a member of the Trek-Volkswagen pro team and a favorite to be the only female racer for the United States at this summer:s Olympics. Haywood said the fact that two potential Olympians have come out- of the state series proves how competitive mountain biking is here. · Sbe credited that to the professional organization of the series, the sportsmanship of the athletes arid the difficulty and variety of the racing terrrun. "The grittiness of ridihg in West Vtrginia teaches you to be tough," said Haywood, 32, who began racing the seriet in 1989. "You can't forget how you started. Even if you're standing on top of.a World Cup podium, you realize it's really not that much different racing in Canaan Valley." Haywood and Bishop, a !'1arrisonburg, Va., native also favored to head to the Olympics for the United States, both got their racing .start in the point series, which gives plenty of other riders a chance follow in their tracks. "I'd say the West Virginia point. series races are amongst the toughest in the country," said Bishop, who on March 14 in Waco, Texas, became the first American male in three years to win a National OffRoad Bicycle Association championship series crosscountry race. "(The series) is really a sample of what goes on in international level racing," said Bi!\hop, 28. Haywood and Bishop had breakthrough seasons last year nationally and internationally. Haywood won the national short-track championship and was the top American woman finisher at the World Cup with a sixth-place finish. Bishop finished third overall for the crosscountry national championship and 22 at the World - - Not long before the national and international success came success in West Virginia, where both had overall wins in the state point series, which consists of 16 races around the until state from April September. From 1996 to 2000, ''West Virginia might not Haywood proved herself have as many racers as other unbeatable in the state taking states, but WVMBA shows the the expert/pro championship racers we do have and the each of the years.

However, there are several areas of Ohio law that can intluence your decision · to apply for license to carry a concealed weapon. So, if you've been contemplating this move , you might want to put your own dreams of stepping into the shoes. of Dirty Harry on hold long enough to read this article. Before you can obtain a conceaied carry licen s~. you must prove your competency certification. Competency can be established by any of the following: I) a certilkate of completion of a course offered by the National Rifle Association (NRA). or taught by instructors from the NRA or Ohio Peace Officer Training Co1:nmission, that contains the minimum educational requirements; or 2) a certificate of completion from an authorized state, county. municipal or Ohio Department of Natural Resources peace officer training school that contains the minimum educational requirements; or 3) a document that shows the applicant is an active or reserve member of the armed forces, or was honorably discharged, or is a retired peace officer, who acquired experience with handguns that was equivalent to the minimum educational requiremenTs. The ·minimum educational requirements require a total traming time of at least 12 hours; at least ·I0 hours of certified instruction and another two hours of experience shooting a handgun. The application process begins when you apply to the sheriff in the county where James Henry you re side or an adjoining county. The sheriff will provide you with an application form . You must pay a fee and submit your lingerpri nts for a background check to be conducted. There must also be a recent passport-style photo that accompanies your application . Finally, you must provide verification of your completion of the aforementioned competency certification. There are several criteria the sheriff will look at before issuing your license. First, you must have been an Ohio resident for at least 45 day s, and a resident of the county or adjoining county for at least 30 days. You must also be at least 21 years of age. There's no sense in being able io blast away if you can't enjoy an ice-cold brewski afterwards, right? · There are also many criminal offenses that bar vou from obtaining your license. These offenses primarily involve violence and drug use. The law also prevents persons who have been adjudicated as mentally defective, or who are subject to a. protection order, from obtaining a license. If the sheriff denie s your license, he must inform you of the grounds for denial. in writing. Once you obtain a license to carry a concealed weapon, you will still be su b,ject to People in the News DAYTON, Nev. (AP)- A day after a misdemeanor battery case again ;t him was disr:nissed in California, former Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil pleaded no contest to battery on a Moonlite Bunny Ranch prostitute. The 43-year-old singer declined to comment when the judge asked whether he had anything to say. "We wanted to resolve this as quickly as possible," attorney Scott Freeman said after the brief hearing Thursday in Dayton Justice Court, 12 miles east of Carson City. "Mr. Neil personally appeared out of respect for th1s court and this county. Now he's moving on." Prostitute Andrea "TrixXxie Blue" Terry ·said Neil choked her and threw her against a wall when the two met at the Mound House brothel where Neil stopped July 10, 2003, after a concert in Reno. Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof said he was sorry to hear that. Neil felt pressured to enter a plea. "It's sad to see Vince do that {lecause in my mind this girl 's an opportunist and I know that Vince did nothing wrong," Hof told the Nevada Appeal newspaper. "I a>>ume he did this to avoid having a lengthy trial. I will support him to the end, because I know· he didn't do anything wrong." Judge Bill Rogers suspended a 30-day jail sentence and ordered Neil to complete anger management correspondence courses within 60 days. He was fined $1,000 plus court fees of $132, and returned to his Las Vegas home afterward. A misdemeanor banery case in Beverly Hills, Calif., against Neil wa.s dismissed Wednesday after he completed more than I 00 hours of community service, prosecutors said.

Changing jobs'' Leaving your company? If so, here's one of the most important questions you'll need to ask yourself: What should you do with your 401(k) or other taxadvantaged retirenient plan? You could. of course, cash out your 40 I (k) and take a lump- sum distribution. After all , the money is yours, and it's readily available . However, there are some big negatives to cashing out your 401(k). First, you ' ll have to pay ordinary income taxes on the money, possibly including an immediate 20 percent withholding. Also, if you're under 55, you may have to pay a I 0 percent penalty. Most importantly. however, you'll wipe out a sjgnificant source of your retirement savings and lose the advantage of having money accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. Instead of liquidating your 40l(k), you may want to roll the money over to an IRA, either a traditional IRA, in which your earnings grow tax-deferred, or a Roth IRA, which offers tax-free withdrawal s provided you meet certain conditions. If you move your 401 (k) money into an IRA, consider using a "direct rollover" so the funds go directly from your old plan to your James HeiiiJ is a Gallipolis attomey wlw prac. /ices law ill a wide variety of areas including es/alt' planning, family relations, Gild real estate transactions.

H can even be rotated toward a prevailing for those who dread trips up and down stairs. By BRUCE A. NATHAN 0 For AP Newsfeatures ne thing nice about Plan APWB-153 is the ability to fit this country ranch design 'to any number of building lots. Even a walkout ranch is a possibility. Contained in this -elbowed, single tl\)or is a wealth of plusses. A great room with a vaulted ceiling is the centerpiece. The nearby kilchen has a cooking island, and the-dining room is unusually shaped. The master surte is distanced from other bedrooms for privacy. Owners could step out to an optional screened perch. The two remaining bedrooms are clustered with the home office-library. If the building lot is sloped, stairs to the basement gain added prominence when flooded by light from windows in the walkout basement Designer Comments "The angled plan is designed to allow adaptation to sloped lots or orient toward a view. The focal point is the five-sided angled great room. The master suite has private access to an optional porch , and the use of volume ceilings is abundant throughout ." - Jerold Axelrod Estimated Cost ol Construction Architectural Glossary Collar beam- One- or 2-i~ch-thick boards connecting opposite roof rafters.

Why not wow your guests with a beautiful ceramic tile or stone floor you installed in a matter of hourS earlier in the day? Talk about a conversation piece. Mission impossible'! Nor at all. In fact, installation is so ultra consumer friendly it · turns the norm of surface · prep, messy glues, cracked grout and professional-only installation on its head . Edge Precizion Tile debuted in front of 90,000 attendees as bne of the more talked about new products at the recent International Builders Show in Las Vegas, the annual showcase where innovative home products gain initial exposure. The advantage to Edge tiles for do--it·yourselfers is that the painstaking, labor-intensive process to put down honest-to-goodness tile or stone floors is out the window. In a few hours, users can go from humdrum floors to ceramics or granite. Lowes officials say the chain of 975 stores has secured exclusive rights for Edge flooring. Edge CEO Bob Miller says his ftrst-year finn will "open the premium flooring market to don-yourselfers of average abilities. Until now, you had to be a pro or have some serious howto savvy to take on real tile.'' Millers approach is fairly simple. Ceramic, porcelain or granite tile in !-foot squares is permanently glued to hard tongueand-groove backerboard. The tiles click together creating a unifonn space between tiles tor premixed grout squeezed out of a toothpaste-like tube with a flange to guide even the hands of a novice. Tiles can be cut to fit with a. special blade Edge provides along with an instructional DVD. The blade fits on standard circular saws. The real difference is .when the tile meets the tloor. Tiles arent glued down. Each literally "tloats" on rubberized underlayment you roll out. No extensive subsurface preparation is necessary in all but extre'me cases of floor damage. Edge tile can be laid directly atop vinyl or. wood. savi ng hours of backc breaking labor to scrape or peel away existing flooring. In the Edge syste\)1. grout and backerboard combine to play important roles, accord: mg to Miller. The reason cement board is often laid below most tile is to create a. super-stable surface . Rockhard grout or immovable tile can crack if a house shifts even slight ly. The Edge tongue-and ~ groove backerboard creates a tlexed-hinge effect. The grout. while very hard, is somewhat tlexible : This allows the tile to bend and move. But you can walk on it _ minutes after tile is laid. Thats what thousands of visitors did at the buildef. show. Edge staff finished lay~ ing a large tile tloor at the Lowes booth less than an hour before exhibit doors opened. It withstood the heavy traffic without a crack: "That was the acid test, people walking on thi s all day without a single problem," says Miller. 'The subtlooring was even bouncy. but it,held up just great.'' Clint Davis, tlooring vice president for Lowes, say~ simplicity of installation will catch the attention of the do: it-yourself market: "Anything easy for homeowners with good results is a real plus as far as were concerned. Thats what is so good about Edge.'·Consumers can expect to pay prices starting at $3.48 per foot. Both Lowes and edge officials say this means a substantial savings over professional installation. "But even professionals will like this approach," says Miller. "They can put down real tile or stone in a few hours. allowing them to do more jobs with fewer canbacks and complaints.''
