Why would So now parents in Washington State cannot any parent want to know snoop around, even if a child their 14-year-old daughter is having a phone conversa- was chatting up a 17-yeartion with a mugger, dope old criminal" Parents shouldn't be proactive in scrutinizing their children in this age of internet sex, drug dealers in school hallways, ' and alcohol-fueled sleepovers. Better to let the teens crash and burn instead of keeping a close eye (ear) on them, right, ACLU? This is yet another intrusion by the American courts into the parent-child relationship . Traditionally, the state ceded all child raising responsibilities to parent s except in cases of child abuse and neglect. But that is changing. Now your offspring have rights. and you'd better not violate them . Interestingly, it is the totalitarian societies that historically have interfered with the parent-child relationship. something the ACLU might want to ponder. In Nazi Germany. parent s were encouraged to turn their kids over to the "Hitler Youth." In the Soviet Union, Red China and Cuba, children were taught in school to inform on parent s who spoke disparagingly of the government. Breaking down parental influence makes it easier for the state to "persuade" young people to be loyal. This case is yet another example of how American society is changing rapidly and drastically: Judges in liberal areas like western Washington State often have a social agenda, and make rulings based upon . their vision of a "j ust" society. No longer can we count on the courts to uphold traditional law, or even to respect the intent of the law. Now we are fac ed with rulings that come down to ''improve" the law. Today, American children are suhjected to more ternptar.ions at an earlier age than ever before. Machines filled with harmful material dominate their lives. Instant messaging and cell phones have created opportunities for mi schief only dreamed of in years past. But don't you li sten to any of that. The Washington State Supreme Court says you can't. HAVE WE 600~LED THIS NOMINEE YET? Healing our national rift I thought that, in today's column. I would heal the nation. The nation suffered a wound during the recent presidential election as a result of the rift between the red states - deft ned as "states where 'foreign cuisine' pretty much means Pizza Hut" and the blue states, defined as "states that believe they are smarter than the red states, despite the fact that it takes the average blue-state resident 15 minutes to order .a single cup of coffee." Some blue-state residents are so upset about the election that they're talking about moving to Canada, which is technically a foreign nation. In my view, this would be a mistake: Canada is not the paradise it is often made out to be. FACT: Every year, 43 percent of all Canadians- a total of eight · Canadians - are eaten by polar bears. Besides, running away is never the answer, unless you are a teen-age boy who has just blown up a mailbox. As Americans, we need to stay here in America and work things out, because regardless of what color or hue of state we live in, we are all , deep down inside our undershorts, Americans. And as Americans, we must ask ourselves: Are we really so different? Must we stereotype those who disagree with us~ Do we truly • Dave Barry believe that ALL red-state residents are ignorant racist fascist knuckle-dragging NASCAR-obsessed cousinmarrying roadkill-eating tobacco-juice-dribbling gunfondling religious fanatic rednecks; ot that ALL bluestate residents are godless unpatriotic pierced-nose Volvo-driving France-loving left-wing communist lauesucking tofu-chomping holistic-wacko neurotic vegan weenie perverts? Yes. This Is called "diversity," and it is why we are such a great nation - a nation that has given the world both nuclear weapons AND Sponge Bob Squarepants. And so today I am calling upon both sides in the redblue rift to reach out. Maybe we could have a culturalexchange pr<Jgram bet ween red and blue states. For example, a delegation from Texas could go to California and show the Californians how to do some trad itional Texas thing such as castrate a bull using only your teeth, and then the' Californians could show the Texans how to rearrange their footba ll stadiums in accordaJlCe with the principles of "feng shui" (for openers. both goalposts should be at the west end of the ticld). Or maybe New York and Kentucky could have a college-styl e "mixer." featuring special "crossover" hors d'oeuvres such as bagel s topped with squirrel parts. I'm just thinking out loud here. (I don't mean that figuratively: The neighbors are complaining.) But I truly believe that, if the red states and blue states made a sincere ·efrort to ge t to know each other. they'd discover that, beneath their surface differences, there are a lot of deep underlying differences. But.that doesn't mean we have nothing in common. We must always remember that, as Americans. we all have a ~ammon enemy - an enemy that is dangerous. powerrul and relentless. I refer. of ~ourse, to the federal government. I speak from personal experience. For the past year, I have been hounded by an organization calling itself "The United States Department of Co.mmer~e." which apparently is linked to the federal govern ment. Every few weeks. lhe "Depart men! of Commerce" sends me a threaten ing letter. demanding that I fill out "the 2002 Survey of Bu siness Owners and Self-Employed Person\ (Form SB0-1 or SB0-2)." Thi s is a 4uestionnaire that asks, among other things, whether I am a Samoan. The "Department of Commerce" claims that I have to fill this out because of something that was in my .federal tax return. Well listen up, "Department of Commerce," and li sten good: I have NO IDEA what was in my federaltax return . Like 93 percent of all U.S. taxpayers, I just sign it and send it in. For all I know. it states that I am a professional squid wrang ler. So you're not going to trip me up by ge tting me to fill out your survey, OK '' You will NEVER find out whether or not I am a Samoan, unless there is a generous federal program that pays millions of dollars to Samoans, in whi~h case: Put me down as Samoan. a But this is not about me. Thi s is about the need for all Ameri~a?s to join together and heal our national rift. Remember that no matter where we live- be it in a red state. or a blue state. 6r a Samoan state - we are all Americans inside. If we cut ourselve s. we will all bleed ihe same color; and then, as Americans. we will sue 'omebody. In conclu sion, try · the'e sq uirrel parb.

Foundation of Nelsonville (OHFN). Grant requests are being accepted from nonprofit organizations and · public or accredited educational institutions located in specific counties where past FAO grants have not been awarded. While Meigs County has not received an FAO grant. it did receive a $50,000 OHFN grant for match funding to a $200,000 Appalachian Regional Commission grant awarded \O the Meigs County Health Department for operational expenses of the Appalachian Dental Clinic in Middleport. In addition to Meigs, other priority counties listed were Belmont, Brown. Carroll. Clcnnont. Columbiana, Coshocton, Harrison, Highland, Holmes. Lawrence. Monroe. Morgan. Noble, Ross and Washington. Gnmt requests are now being accepted. ''We are so excited about this partnership of two regional foundations, because we hope to attract a new audience of grant applicants from ·among new and emerging organizations, and help those organizations create access to opportunities for those in underserved areas of the region." said Leslie Lilly, FAO President and CEO. ''This collaborative effort leverages community resources and it is designed to enhance the quality of life for vulnerable populations in the region. The Foundation is pleased to partner with FAO as we collectively strive to fulfill our missions through leadership, organizational capacity building and funding of sustainable infrastructures for the future,'· said Terri Donlin. OHFN Director of Programs. FAO and OHFN each contributed $25.000 to fund the grants program, which will provide awards ranging in amounts from $500 to $2,000 and will address quality of life issues in the four interest areas: children. youth and families. ec:onomic and community development. education. and. leadership. "We're interested in opportunities and benefits for populations in need that are an important challenge and that might otherwise remain unfulfilled. including access to experiences that add to a community's quality of life." said Lilly. Appalachian Ohio Mini-Grants Guidelines are now available at FAO's wcbsite-www.appalachianohio.org, or by calling 740-753-1111. Grant proposals must be postmarked by Friday, Jan. 21 or hand-delivered by 5 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 24 to FAO's headquarters at 36 Public Square in Nelsonville. The mission of the OHFN is to improve the health and quality of life in southeastern Ohio through education, research and service consistent with osteopathic medicine and osteopathic principles.

BY ROBERT PAWELEK OSU EXTENSION GALLIA COUNTY President Bush has nominated Nebraska Gov. Mike Johanns to be the new U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, replacing Ann Veneman. Johanns grew up on a dairy farm in Iowa, and was mayor of Lincoln, Neb.. before becoming the state' s governor. He was re-elected to a second term as governor in 2002. As governor of Nebraska, Johanns has been a strong proponent of increasing ag exports and expanding trade opportunities with other countries. He also has been a strong advocate of ethanol. biodiesel and other alternative fuels. He has pushed for disaster assistance for farniers affect- ed by drought and other natural disasters. Johanns opposes the proposed federally mandated country-of-origin (COOL) labeling. Hi s nomination has been well-received by most farm organizations and commodity groups across the country. Federal spending for 2005 farm commodity programs is likely to come under closer scrutiny as Congress looks for ways to shave federal spending. However. federal spending on farm commodity programs has been way under budge t during the first two crop years of the current Farm Bill (2002 and 2003), due to higher·than-expccted t:ommodity prices. Federal spending for the 2004 crop year is projected to be near allocated levels. By comparison, the federal gov- ernment spent almost $26 billion on farm program payments in 1986, comr.ared to a projected $16.5 btllion for the current fiscal year. In the 2004-05 USDA budget, nearly $50 billion is budgeted for nutrition programs, such as food stamps, WIC .and the School Lunch Program, which is more than three times the amount allocated for farm program payments. So far, USDA and Congress have been able to make necessary budget adjustments by cutting or controlling expenditures for discretionary spending programs such as conservation, rural development,' implementation of COOL and other more flexible-type USDA programs. It appears likely that Congress will finally pass a Federal Energy Bill in 2005. This should help development for ethanol, biodiesel, wind energy and other renewable fuels. The next round of WTO trade talks. approval of CAFTA, and continuing discussions on revisions in NAFfA are all likely to be part of farm policy discussion in 2005. These discussions could expand if some of the large processors and livestock units decide to impor:t more soybeans and soybean meal from South Amenca. USDA is moving forward with implementing a "phasedin" national livestock ID program. Country-of·origin label-. ing has not yet been part of that effort. However, some members of Congress and farm organizations are very anxious to sec mandatory COOL implemented in the U.S. SMOKIN' ROB'S 1525 Eastern Avenue · Gallipolis, OH State £lquer Stera We have Holiday Gifts from a large selection of Liquor, Wine, Tobacco, Cigarettes and Smoking products. _ We have the Budweiser Holiday Stein, NASCAR Zippo Lighters along with a large selection of smoking pipes.

SGHS (2-4) used its uptempo, pressing style to post the squad's second-straight win of the .young season by forcing the taller Defenders ( 1-7) to go at a pace that they were simply not comfortable with. And although both teams combined for more than 50 turnovers, which wasn' t easy on the eyes , the end result o·as beautiful for SGHS coach Brett Bostic. "It wasn't pretty in the first half, we were trying to get the ball up and down the court," he said, "We wanted to get them away from the style that they are capable of playing .

Louis, 9 p.m. CINCINNATI - December has always been the cruelest month for Takeo Spikes. For live di smal seasons, the exceptional linebacker threw his body around the field in yet another meaningless late-season game with the Cincinnati Bengals. He would shine even though it didn't matter, and pine for the playoffs. On Sunday, he finally gets his wish. Spikes will play a December game in Cincinnati with major implications. The Buffalo Bills (7 -6) have barged into the field of playoff contenders by winning four straight and seven of their last nine games. In his second season 'with the Bills, Spikes is learning at long last how it feel s to be somewhere other than last in the final month. · It's everything he imagined. "This is what I wanted to do, to be part of something special." Spikes said. 'The emotions are going to run wild, man. The biggest reason is I've never been · in the month of December, this late, and still had something to play for other than pride." Hi s old tean1 is back on famil iar ground. The Bengal s (6- 7) essentially knocked themselves out of contention with a 35-28 loss at New England la~t Sunday, leaving fl ve teams ahead of them for the AFC's two wild card berths. Plus, Carson Palmer got knocked out of the game with a sprained knee, prompting Jon !Gina's return to quarterback. The Bills and Bengals are two of the NR..'s hottest teams, pulling themselves out of slow starts with a flourish. Cincinnati faded last Sunday. Buffalo can't afford to do the same a week later. "We're in a playoff .situation right now," quarterback Drew Bledsoe said. "We 're playing for our lives. Every game we go into we have to win or we're done. That's what it is." To stay in contention, the Bills'will have to do something they haven't done in a long time. They hav~n' t won five in a row si nee 1998, but standing in their way is a team that looks an awful loflike them. The Bills are on one of the best tears in franchise history. They've scored at least 37 d0 ." So do the Bengals. They have to stay on their own rol l. one th at's jt.st as impressive as Buffalo's. The Bengals have topped 450 yards of ofiense in each of the last three games. a frdnchise first , and averaged 37 points per game. identi<.:al to the Bills. Most of it can be tmced to Palmer, who had started to emerge in his tirst season running the offense. Now, it looks like it will be up to Kitna the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year last season - to keep it going. Palmer was on crutches all week and said he'd be shocked if he played against the Bills. Kitna led the offense in a 22-lti overtime loss at Buffalo last mance.'' Ia 111111.

True. the cardinal is the state bird. The rose-breasted grosbeak perches on West Virginia's wildlife license plates. But ir ever a bird truly belonged to the Mountain State, it is the tiny goldenwinged warbler. And it is dying out. "This is a bird of the coalfields.'' said Ron Canterburv. a Concord University biologist who is one of the nation's foremost experts on golden-wings. For example. nearby Ohio might be visited by six breeding pairs of golden-winged warblers in an ent ire year and that's a very. very good year. · By contrast, "in West Virginia. I wou ld estimate we could get 35.000 breeding pairs in a year," Canterbu ry said. But that number is plummeting fast. Some experts say the golden-winge<l warbler is the most threatened bird in the northeastern United States. "Within the next I 0, 20 years, golden-wi ngs could be totally gone," Canterbury said. His research is being consulted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. to see if golde n-wings should be added to the federal endangered species li st.

He also needs just one more scoring catch to tie the league's single-season TD record for tight ends shared by Mike Ditka ( 1961 ), Jerry Smith (1967), Todd Christensen (1983) and Wesley Walls (1999). Not bad company for Kent State's 12th all-time leading scorer in hoops. The Chargers, who have won seven straight and lead the AFC West by two games over Denver. can clinch their first trip to the playoffs since 1995 with a win Sunday and if Baltimore loses at Indianapolis. They have become the league's feelgood story, and Gates' tale ha~ been no less impressive. San Diego coach Marty Schottenheimer can't say enough about hi s budding young star. no doubt headed to the Pro Bowl. "The one for any young player is, how quickly they can develop and it cenainly relates to a young man who has not played football in live years," " CLEVELAND - l,.ike so many other things the past few seasons, Antonio Gates slipped right through the Cleveland Browns· hands. And for a few years he was shooting baskets in their back yard. San Diego's prolific second-year tight end, who starred in basketballnot football - at nearby Kent State, will remind the Browns and their fans what they missed out on when he and the surprising Chargers visit Sunday. Gates, who leads NR.. tight ends with 73 catches for 843 yards and II touchdowns, will be mostly unrecognizable to local sports fans. They remember him as the headband-wearing power forward with the sweet touch and rug!;ed inside game who led the Golden Flashes within one win of the Final Four in 2002. Now the only boxing out he does is against linebackers who can't outrun him and cornerbacks who can't outmuscle him. Gates. The Browns (3-1 0) used their final selection - No. 195 overall in the sixth round on Boston College defensive end Antonio Garay, who was injury- prone before being waived this week. Gates said the Browns' pursuit of him was brief. "I felt like the Browns were interested in a way, but I felt that San Diego's tight ends coach was more genuine and straightforward," Gates said. "I wanted to go into a straightforward situation, knowing what I was getting into at the time." The Chargers ( 10-3) signed Gates as a free agent. They were prepared to be patient with Gates, who began his college career at Michigan State where then-coach Nick Saban couldn 't get him to play football for the Spartans. San Diego figured Gates would spend a year or two on the practice squad. But after a slow start in his rookie season, he began to figure things out and finished with 24 catches. This year, he's been the favorite target of " Associated Press "He "s die real deal, no question about it," said Browns interim coach Teny Robiskie. "You can line him up anywhere. They're using him the way we had hoped to use Kellen ." Kellen is Cleveland rookie Kellen Winslow Jr., whose season ended in Week 2 when he broke his leg while trying to recover an onside kick in the closing seconds of a loss at Dallas. That's the same Kellen Winslow whose Hall of Fame father holds several San Diego tean1 records Gates is on the verge of breaking. And to think: The Browns could have had Gates. Although he didn't play college football, Gates' size. speed and strength had the Browns and other teams intrigued by his potential. So following his senior season before the 2003 draft. the 6-foot-4, 260-pounder showed off his skills during a private workout at Kent State that was attended by a few teams, including the Chargers and Browns. But on draft day, no team was willing to risk using one of its picks on " BY ToM WITHERS ~unl:kw Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis ·accord lease S25911o + tu w1111 $498 due atleasnignlng 12,000 millS Pll 1181 IHFC W/IPPI'IVId cniiR. 6 • '20051CCOrd lBBS1289/mo. + TU Wl1h $498 dUI IIIIBSI signing 41 mos. 12.000 millS Pll Jilt IS 811111 W/IIJPI'IVId credh , '2005 CIVIC VP l18SI184/mo. + Til Wnh $498 dUIII IIIII sllllllna48 mos. 12.000 miles per year us Bank w/epp,.ved cndh .

Whether the tradition is a midnight church service, a family dinner or a favorite Christmas ornament, holiday customs bring comfort and joy to Christmas. Many popular traditions are based on legends, such as th€\,legend of the candy cane, while others are !lased on the traditions of the Church, like that of St. Nicholas, or the lighting of the Advent wreath. The recreation of the Nativity is a common Christmas tradition. Whether it is a tabletop chreche made of glass. paper or other materials, or a live nativity at a church or school program , the Nativity scene IS a visual reminder of the significance of the holiday.

The big news of the Christmas season in 1944, at least. in Gallia County, was the weather. Much of December was cold with 5 or 6 inches of snow falling early in the month. It melted off and was replaced by 5 or 6 more inches which fell the week of Christmas. Then days after the two Christmas brought ice storms. Gallipolis had a basketball game with Nelsonville canceled, but not due to the weather. It seems that one of the two cars that the Nelsonville team traveled in to away games broke down and a substitute could not be obtained. Of course, the war continued to be important, but even the war was affected by weather. In perhaps the coldest snowiest winter in eastern France, the Allies pushed back the German offensive at the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes Forest. Victory for the Allies came at a heavy price with 81,000 American casualties including · 23,554 captured and 19.000 killed. A big bond rally for the sixth war bond drive of the war was held on the Public Square a few weeks before Christmas .in 1944. Dr. Holzer had arranged for the school band, police and others to lead the military convoy from Vine Street to the Public Square. But cold weather restricted the crowd to a few hundred, many of whom were school children. Appearing at the rally were U.S. Army equipment vehicles that included an amphibious 1truck. a scout car and several armored trucks . The total cost of all five vehicles combined was reported to be a "whopping" $50,000. One of the highlights of the day was to have been a recording made by a Gallia native in Bougainville , France. It had been flown by bomber to Cleveland where a record would not play properly on the PA system due to the cold weather. Gallia farmers were about to orgamze a Soil Conservation District. Jackson and Meigs counties had ju st done the same thing about a year before . Farmers were being encouraged to rai se more sugar beets what with the shortages caused by the war. It · was also announced that. there was a shortage of tobacco in the country. Forty bi II ion cigarettes had been shipped overseas to the soldiers in 1944. It was estimated that cigarette consumption in the U.S. had gone up by 50 percent since 1939. Sugar sold for 75 cents for 10 pounds but was still being rationed. Hamburger was in good supply and cost 32 cents a pound. Oysters could be had for 65 cents at Kroger's. Ely's Market had oranges for 48 ce nts a dozen and walnuts for 39 cents a pound .. A & P had smoked ham for 34 cents a pound. Folden's Market had a good buy on Birdseye frozen vegetables. Turkeys at the Evans grocery were 52 cents a pound. The war changed grocery habits. Because of the gasoline shortage. groceries were no longer delivered to your home as they had been prior to the: war. This meant that the number of grocery stores in town actually increased during World War II . Several stores ·provided little carts or baskets for shoppers. Harry Hurn wrote: "Gone are the days when barrels of beans . pickles. salt fish, kraut and kerosene shouldered each other in close proximity to spread their favors and flavors indiscriminately." For the late shopper there were Beau Brummel ties at Haskins-Tanner, bed jackets at Gallipolis Department store. blouse s at DavisShuler and toys at Sterling Ga >. A movie ticket was 40 cents and on Christmas Day at the Gallipolis Theater one could see Ceci l B. DeMille's "Sign of the Cross." Christmas bells rang for the I 12th time at 5 a.m. at the Paint Creek Baptist Church. Harry Hurn stated that this custom '·is venerated at ike by old and young. and the early morning Christmas attendance is at once a duty and privilege. Scarce a resident of the city but has heard the old bell peal forth happily through the darkness and it is a joy to witness the congregational attendance upon its si lvery summons." Grace Church had .a large pageant the Sunday before Christmas that had been written by their own pastor Scott Westerman. (James Sa11ds is a special correspo11de11t for the Sunday Time.!-Se11ti11el.

Of course. your generosity will be greatly appreciated by the group you're supponing- and it can pay off for you. too. When you make a gift to a charitable group, you can ·get some significant tax benefits. There are two types of tax breaks. Let's take a look at them: • Immediate tax deduction You can deduct all or pan of your charitable gift from your current income taxes, even if your original cost was only a fraction of today's value. (The size of your deduction depends. in part, \'n whether you give cash or some other type of tinancial asset, such as stocks. Generally speaking, your maximum deduction will be limited to 50 percent of your adjusted gros ~ income. (Anything over that amount can be carried over to future years.) You can deduct linuncial contributions to religious. charitable. scientific. educational and literary inslllutions. as well as other groups that are April Rice nizations. Upon making your gift, make sure you get a receipt that lists the name of the organization and the date and amount of your contribution. • Avoidance of capital gains taxes -If you have stocks that have grown significantly in value over the years. you may want to donate them to a charitable group. You will avoid the capital gains taxes you'd have to pay if you sold the stock. To illustrate the benefit of giving appreciated stocks to a charity. let's look at an example. Suppose you bought stock I 0 years ago for $7.000. and it is now wonh $10,000.

Which stocks should you donate~ You may have a variety of appreciated stocks that you could donate to a charitable group. Which are the best ones to give? There's no one "right" answer. But here are a couple of guidelines you might want to consider: • Seek portfolio balance- At all times, you need to keep a balanced portfolio that reflects your risk tolerance, your time horizon and your long-term goals. So, before you give away any stocks, make sure that your gift doesn't throw your holdings "out of whack" to the extent that you are either taking on too much risk or reducing your prospects for growth. • Look lor dividends- If you aren't jeopardizing your portfolio balance, you may want to consider donating appreciated, low-dividend paying stocks and replacing them with stocks that have historically paid, and increased, their dividend payouts. Thanks to recent tax law changes, stock dividends are now ~'IXed at a maximum of 15 percent, previously, these dividends were taXed at your current tax mte. (Keep in mind that stocks are subject to market risks and may not always pay dividends.) A "win-win" situation: By making gifts to charity, you' II brighten their holiday season - and your tax season. That's a win·win situation. (April E.

The first half of "Spangli sh" feels almost cloyingly contrived at times. as writer-director Brooks spins his tale of beautiful Mexican immigrant Flor (Vega) trying to live among Americans without really being touched by the culture.

Ha') The film is based on the tirst three children's books by Lemony Snicket (the author's name ts actu-ally Daniel Handler) about a trio of orphans trying to defend themse lves from the dastardly Count Olaf, who disguises himself in various ways and tries to bump them off to steal their inheritance. That inherently episodic structure ends up weakening the film from director Brad Silberling ("Moonlight Mile") and writer Robert Gordon (" Men in Black II" ), stripping it of a strong narrative drive. Instead, the movie moves from one adventure - or rather. one elaborately detailed set piece - to the next. The children end up in the custody died in a fire.

The kitchen is deep, too. It features a large breakfast nook and plenty of cooking and food-handling space. The formal dining room is just a few steps away. The laundry room and mud room off the garage are nearby, too. The bedroom wing is well considered. The secondary bedrooms are situated in the front of the home and share a single bath. The master suite is at the rear corner of the house, and is flanked by the private bath and a walk-in closet. The home has two fully functional porches, including what is essentially a private porch at the rear.

Also, what causes mirrors to turn dark around the edges after a while'' - Shirley A: Two super questions. First, the drywall. The decorative finish which you select to install will have everything to do with how you will need to treat your drywall once it has been hung in place. However, regardless of the finish, you must apply joint tape and joint tape compound at eYery drywall joint if the drywall is going to be installed onto a wall that is adjacent to your garage. Nail head indentations must also be tilled with the same compound at this location. The garage-10-house con· nectio11 must be separated with a wall contigured to resist fire. The taped joints and filled nail head indentations are a part of a fire rated wall contiguration. Exterior walls should also be given tile same tinish treatment.

"There\ a lot of wells drilled . in a lot of strange places," said Harold Hmnm. president of the National Stripper Well Association, a trade group based in suburban Houston. "A lot of them are mom and pop operations. They keep the cost down to nearly nothing by doing all the maintenance themselves." Most wells yield hoth oil and natural gas. but natural gas often is easier to recover because of the pressure built up under rock formations. David Martineau. a geologist and exploration manager for Pitts Oil Co. in Dallas, said 85 percent of the rigs in use are drilling for natural gas. Landowners typically get a small lease fee, perhaps $5 an acre, and 12.5 percent of the revenue from a well. so royalties often are not large. At ·one barrel a day, a marginal well would generate royalties of just under $1 ,400 a year if the price is $30 a barrel; at $50 a barrel, it would be nearly $2,300. Near Wilgus, a crossroads in . southeast Ohio, Burt Payne has a half-dozen working wells on land his family has owned since 1847. The farm almost slipped away from his grandparents when times were tough. "They didn't know they were . sitting on oil ," said Payne, 74. a retired physician. 'They put a gas well down several years ago and oil started seeping up around it."' The well produces ju;t eight to I0 barrels a day.

For the past 19 years the Meigs County Bikers Association has organized a toy. giveaway for less fortunate families.
