Fortunately for you in the year
ahead there could be some posi·
tive changes in the wind conccming your career or financial
conditions. When it sweeps you
up, go with the flow.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22. Jan.
19)-- If there isn't any harmony
of purpose in an arrangement
you have with another today, it
will never get off the starting
block. Make a concerted effort
lo pull together so things won't
fall apart.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb.
19)-·When on the job today,
don't get caught up in playing
that old buck-passing game. Do
your job well and set the exampie for everybody. Otherwise,
that buck might slop with you.
PISCES (Feb. 20- March 20)
--. If the odds aren ' t with you
today, don't take a chance on
something over which you know
you 'II have no control. Your
chances of getting what you
want will be nil.

ARIES (March 21 · Aprill9)-Don't attempt to push something
through today that isn't ready to
go into action. Prematurely
introducing it is asking for fail·
urc. Be patient and wait until it
is complete.
TAURUS (April 20- May 20)
·• Only sincerity will be effective today. Attempting to sugarcoat things or disguise the truth
will be discerned. Instead of
having others believing in you,
you will lose all credibility.
GEMINI (May 21~ June 20)-You had better check out that
wallet you're carrying today to
make certain it isn't a sieve.
There's a possibility you could
let your money slip through your
fingers like water.
CANCER (June 21- July 22)·
• What will determine success or
failure for you today will be the
motivation behind your actions.
If you attempt to do something
purely out of spite, you can
expect the results to be dire.
LEO (July 23- Aug. 22)-· Try
not to make life tough on your-

self by being negative about
everything. Instead of letting the
sun shine through, your attitude
will cloud up the good.
VIRGO (Aug. 23· Sept. 22) •·
It may not be easy to do today,
but if you've make any pledges
or commitments, you must
honor them. Not to do so would
severely damage your reputation
with one who is important to
you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23- Oct. 23) -Be extremely careful about the
methods you use in pursuing
your ambitious objectives today.
If you handle things properly,
you ' ll earn supporters. Handle

them improperly, you'll make
enemies.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23· Nov.
22)-- Concentrate on your posi·
tive attributes today and not on
your shortcomings. Self-esteem
will be important in getting others to believe in your ideas and
thinking, and to take you
seriously.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) --Be open and up front
in all your business dealings
today. If you hold back important information or data from
those with w~om you'tt negotiating, the deal won't withstand
the test of time.

temperature, that can be deadly if
not detected promptly and treated
properly, said Sherry Russell , school
nurse for Mason County.
Infants and the elderly, who are
often still for long periods of time,
do not generate as much body heat
as someone who IS more active, are
more susceptible to accidental
hypothermia.
Russell said that symptoms of
hypothermia include shivering,
slurred speech, apathy, impaired
judgment and cold, pale skin. Then.
as the body temperature continues to
drop, shivering may stop, the

abdomen and chest become cold and
breathing and ~;&gt;ulse are slow.
Weakness, drow smess and confusion may quickly lead to unconsciousness.
Many times, the elderly can suffer
from the cold because they may tum
down the heat to save money, their
heat source may fail, or they may
fall and lay undetected for several
hours or even days. .
Elderly neighbors, ft;iends or family should be checked on often in
cold weather as a safety precaution.
They should also be directed to local
and state service agencies that can

Mary Johnson, assistant manager

said that those who participate in
sports outside should dress warmly
in layers.

"Make sure that the mouth and
nose and all skin is covered. Wear: a
toboggan or hat to prevent heat loss.
That is where most of the body heat
escapes. Most importantly, dress in

POMEROY, Ohio - The Excelsior
Salt Works, a Pomeroy landmark for
more than 100 years, is being demolished by the Jeffers Excavating Co.
Bob Jeffers, president, said he hopes to
salvage as much of the existing structure
as pos,sible.
Over lhe next couple of weeks; his
company will continue salvaging the
wooden beams which have supported
the roof for decades. Jeffers said the
wood, from ftr trees, is a quality hard·
wood seldom seen anymore.
Jeffers, 82, said he supplied coal for
more than 15 years to Excelsior. The
company used t() employ mll!ly in_M:ejgs
County and was a part of the early industrial boom the village experienced when
coal and salt were king in the re~ion .
Jeffers, who is a lifelong resident of
Meigs County, said his job demolishing
the long-abandoned butlding is not an
easy one.
"It will be sad to see the place fo.:· he
said. "It is an old establishment o Meigs
County. This is a part of Meigs County
history."
For the past two weeks, at least five
workers have worked more than eight
hours a day in the cold and snow to complete the task.
Jeffers said his crew could tear down
the old two-story building, which is as
big as a school gymnasium, in a couple
of hours. He is being patient wilh lhe
process because some of the timber
beams, which span more than 40 fee\,
can be used again if left intact.
:
Jeffers said Excelsior had to shut down
because of government regulations surrounding the smoke stack. In the late
1970s and early '80s, federal and state
governments mandated that smot:e
stacks be fitted wilh special scrubbers
which would clean exhaust.
The intent behind lhe clean air legisla·
tion was to eliminate pollution. The
unintended effect for small business was
the added exorbitant expense of business. Smoke stack industries which sur·
vive today still have to constantly grapple with these regulations.

Illinois. They adopted lhe standards of

problems with how its death penaltY
was imposed, as a basis for their study.
Two days before he left office
Monday, fonner lllinois Gov. George
Ryan commuted the sentences of all of
his state's death row inmates, converting
their sentences into life in prison without
parole.
The students said they were not suggesting innocent convicts are awaiting
execution in Ohio. But they said their

findings, the lllinois commission report
and a Columbia University study of
death sentences in 28 states indicate
there are problems with applying the
death penalty that could result in the
execution of innocent people.
The students sent Taft a copy of their
report Friday, urging hiin to halt all exe·
cutions and appoint a commission to
review the death penalty's application in
Ohio.
Taft has not seen the report and does

not plan to stop any executions, said his
spokesman Orest Holubec.
"We haven 't seen the kind of abuses
here they've had in Illinois," Holubec
said.
'
He said the Ohio Constitution prohibits Taft from granting blanket
clemencies. Taft can commute sentences on individual cases only and only
after the parole board makes a recommendation on a given case, Holubec
said.

B.usiness travelers have rebelled at being charged outrag~ ou s prices and are seeking alternatives to the major airlines.

etched in the ir minds, are still frightened by even the
thought of flyin g.

about half attributable to the destruction of four aircraft on

having babies at age 14 is a ticket to
ruin, then that child's life will likely be
tragic.
Eminem and his corporate masters
care nothing for the legions of confused, aimless youth who are embrac- .
ing the "gangsta" attitude with a
vengeance. Sure, we've always had
teenage rebellion in this country. But
now the bar has been droRped to the
lowest level in our nation s entenainment history. Now it's OK to rap about
abusing women, smoking crack and
solving problems with a gun.
Eminem may be the "people's
choice," but he is as harmful to .
America as any a! Qaeda fanatic. The
press is giving him a free pass and liontzing his "artistry." Meantime, bewildered American children continue to

strong and smart prosper, the uneducated and undisciplined collapse. That's
the rhyme and the reason that Eminem,

villains. They sell mind poison and
one-way tickets to misery.

The announcement last week that
low-rent rapper Eminem was the
"People's Chmce" for best male recording star of the year is a huge win for
those bullish on the coarsening of
America. The award comes as no surprise because the mainstream press has
been glorifying Eminem for a couple of
years now, ever since he stopped gaybaiting on ~is recordings.

taxing the money they send to their shareholders? Just to punish those who invest

the 9.8 nullion seniors receiving dividends who would enjoy an average savings of $936 under the Bush plan.
Meanwhile, .the president proposes to
move up to this year the across-the-board
tax rate reductions that were approved by
Congress in 200 I and were scheduled to
take place in 2004 and 2006. He also proposes to raise the child-care credit to
$1,000 per child from the current $600, a
change that was to gradually take place
over the decade. And he proposes to
accelerate the planned reduction in the
marriage penalty.
The bottom line is that the president's
plan would provide 92 million Americans
an 11verage tax cutof$1 ,083 in 2003. That ·
includes Americans of all demographics,
married and single, with children and
without, working and not, younger and
older, less and more affluent.
The party of Clinton, Conrad and
Kennedy would pit one class of
Americans against another; would suggest that some Americans deserve tax
relief and others do not.
Well, the American people don't suffer
from wallet envy. They don't resent the
affluent for their prosperity. That's
bec.ause most Americans either hope or
expect to one day become well off, and
they don 't want the government taxing
away their hard-earned wealth. The
Democrats just ~an' 1 seem to understand
such thinking by the mass of taxpaYing
Americans. That's why they continue to
play the class-warfare card.

King

But.just four seconds later,
Schmidt said he was "rolling
in" to drop the guided bomb
and he did so 39 seconds after
the "hold fire" order. Besides
killing the four soldiers, the
blast wounded eight other
Canadians who had been perfo rming anti-tank exe r~ ise s
with live ammunition. ·
Survivors testified earlier
they were not firin g into the
air at the time . Defense
lawyers have suggested the
pilots thought they were
under fti'e from enemy forces.
Under cross-examination,
Milton indicated that a holdfire order does not apply
when a pilot believes he is
under attack. Schmidt can
also be beard on the recordings citing self defense at the
same time he said he was
"rolling in."
Milton, who has flown similar F-16 missions over
Afghan combat zones, was
not involved in the April 17
·bombing. He was called as a
government
witness
to
explain, as a pilot, how he
understood the events leading
up to the bombing.
The defense has suggested
that a breakdown in military
communications kept the
pilots from knowing there
were allied troops in the area
that night.

Milton indicated he was
never briefed or given written
materi als about allies at
Tarnak Farm, the firing range
near Kandahar where the
Canadians held their antitank exercises the night of the
bombing.
"There is no doubt in my
mind that (the bombing)
never would have happened"
had the pilots been informed
the Canadians would be in the
area, .he said.
Milton's statement contra·
dieted earlier testimony from
Col. Lawrence Stutzriem,
who at the time of the bombing was with the agency
responsible for coalition air
operations. Stutzriem said Air
Force pilots flying missions
in the area had received written orders warning that allied
troops would intermittently
use live ammunition.
Milton said the 40-page
booklet was "unworkable"
because it included so much
information. The pilot also
said an investigation into
communication
problems
would do more than the hearing to prevent friendly fu-e
incidents.
"This should be a s;Uety
inv esti gation, to find the
problem and fix the problem," Milton said .

The only guy who isn't
·getting rich off LeBron
James right now is .:.
LeBron James.
ESPN, Sports Illustrated,
adidas, Nike, Reebok, you
name it, everybody's lining
up to get a piece of what's
expected to be a highly
lucrative pie. ESPN ha~
already shown two of Akron
St. Vincent-St.
Mary's
games this season and shows
highlights of other games
almost every Qight. He's
been on the cover of Sports
Illustrated and has been featured in numerous other
sports magazines, which are
benefiting from big sales
since LeBron is the hot story
right now.
And the apparel and shoe
giants are jostling for posi~
tion under the· boards to
snare what some believe will
be the biggest marketing
catch since Michael Jordan.
Like I said, everybody's
flashing cash except LeBron.
Until last week.
That's when arguably .
Ohio's greatest basketball ·
phenomenon showed up at
St. Vincent-St. Mary High
School in a Hummer H2.
Nice ride. I'm envious.
I'm getting ready to tum 30something and have only a
faint glimmer of hope of
ever even test driving a
Hummer, let alone owning
one.
But I digress.
Since he pulled into the
school parking lot sportin~
his fully -loaded Hummer,
LeBron has spurred eveo
more debate than he did as
just your normal, everyday
second coming of whoever
you think is the greatest bas~
ketball player in history.
Now the Ohio High School
Athletic
Association
(OHSAA) - prep sports'
last bastion of honesty and
integrity, WHAT? - has
joined the fray, conducting
its own "objective" investi•
gation of just where James'
family got the money to purchase the Hummer.
OHSAA officials are talking tough about maintaining
the integrity of amateur athletics and making veiled
threats
about
revoking
Lebron's amateur status if
the "investigation" reveals
any wrongdoing.
Give me a break.
Considering how the
OHSAA conducts business;
it's the height of hypocrisy
and avarice for that body to
be talking about integrity or
investigating anything that
deals with financial responsibility. This is the same
group that pours money
down the drain wining and
dining itself at national functions and also benefits from
greatly from LeBron's athletic prowess.'
·
Besides, talk tough all they
want, th~: OHSAA's tokerl
investigation will soon fade
away because a state tournament without LeBron just
won't sell tickets the same
way it would with him. The
OHSAA is also getting a
piece .o f the pie that i$
LeBron James, and has done
so since he exploded on the
scene as a freshman ..
And, like ESPN, Sports
Illustrated · and all the rest,
the OHSAA likes pie.

Me, 1' d just like t&lt;l drive

Because NASCAR only
allows the use of data
acquisition systems ·- an
in-car computer that regulates
everything
from
speed, to throttle position
to steering wheel input during tests, teams must
attend as many sessions as
possible to understand their
cars better.
"We can't use data acquisition systems when we
race or during practices, so
we have no idea what a car
is doing out on the track,"
Knaus said. "It's all a
guessing game based on
driver input. ·
"So you go to the testing

things out and figure out

But it's a driver's least

wished NASCAR would
just eliminate it all.
"I just get to strap on and
ride it around for three

because the test is more
focused on what the crews
do with the car than what

Graves.agrees .to 3-year contract.
CINCINNATI (AP) Closerturned-starter Danny Graves agreed to
a three-year, $17.25 million contract
extension
Friday,
leaving
the
Cincinnati Reds with one player left in
salary arbitration.
. Graves made $3,525,000 last season,
more than the entire starting rotation
on opening day. His extension, contingeni upon him
passing
a
physical
in
Cincinnati on
Monday, will
include
a
mutual option
for 2006.
The con tract
includes base salaries of $5 million, $6
million and $6.25 million for each of
the three years, with. escalators ·that
will increase his pay if he is a full -time
staner.
·He also got a limited no-trade clause,
and his salary will increase if he is
traded durin g the three .years . General
manager Jim Bowden has a history of
trading players after they si gn contract
extensions, wh ich lock in their salaries
and make them more attractive to other
teams.
Graves was asking for $6.7 million
in arbitration, and the club was offering $5 .25 million..
Pitcher Bruce Chen is the last Reds
· playe r e lig ible for arbitration . Chen

has asked for·$830,000, while the club
has offered $700,000.
Graves, 29;' holds the team record for
saves with a right-hander with 129, but
his role is in .transition. The Reds plan
to use Graves as a starter this season,
their first in their new ballpark.
"Danny is at the core of the good,
young group of players we have under
wntrol the first few years of Great
American Ball Park," Bowden said.
Graves went 7-3 with a 3.19 earned
run average in 68 games last season.
He was the closer for the first 64
games, -getting 32 saves, and made his
last four appearances as a starter, going
1-0 with a 1.89 ERA.
His performance in the last four
games convinced the Reds to leave
him in the rotation for 2003 . Scott
Williamson, the 1999 NL rookie of the
year, is a leading candidate to replace
him as the closer.

More than half of
players settle arbitration
NEW YORK - Greg Maddux asked
fo r $ 16 million in arbitration Friday,
and Torii Humer got the biggest deal
among the dozens of players who settled their cases, agreeing to a $ 32 million,
four-year
col)tract
with
Minnesota.
"Yesterday it happened so fast, I was

like, 'We're going to get this deal
done,"' Hunter said. "They came to
where I felt it was fair for both sides. I
comme.nd them for getting there.
Thank you!"
Maddux's request fell short of Derek
Jeter's $18.5 million record request
two years ago but was easily the largest
among the 34 players left in arbitration. The Braves countered with a
$13.5 million offer, leaving them with
the biggest spread between any player
and team.
Maddux's fornier teammate, Kevin
Millwood, settled for $9.9 million with
the Philadelphia Phillies in one of 38
deals among the 72 players who filed
for arbitration Wednesday. Twenty
players settled Friday.
Outfielder J.D . Drew will get $3.7
million from St. Louis, and third baseman Adrian Beltre agreed to a $3.7
million contract with Los Angeles.
Toronto outfielder Shannon Stewart
asked for the second-highest salary
($7.5 million) among those who filed,
and the Blue Jays offered $5.5 million.
Montreal starter Javier Vazquez
asked for $7 . 15 million, with the
Expos offering $6 mi II ion; outfielder
Carlos Beltran asked fo r $6.95 million
from Ka nsa' City, wit h the Royals
offering $6 million; and Seattle AllStar starter Freddy Garc ia asked for
$6,875,000, with the Mariners offering
$5 .9 million.

I think what people don't understand
is the cause of the problem. The government started this program because
it was concerened over statistics about
the large number of overweight children. What I don ' t understand is why
anybody is surprised. Children are
more overweight for many of.the same
reasons as many adults who can't control their weight. Both children and
adults eat far too much fast food and
are not active enough.
Children aren't any lazier now than
they've ever been. They merely have
more things available to them. Kids
now have cable television, DVD's,
video games, and the Internet to occupy their time. Those are four things
that involve absolutely no physical
exertion and are incredibly popular

sin~e I've been doing sports at the

k1ds out on the f1eld makes me think
back to playing basketball and football
with my friends when I was younger.
Sports are good exercise and are usually a lot more entertaining than just
working out by yourself.
I was thinking about these things one
night, while being really active and
0watching TV, natu(ally, and I saw one
of the government's new public service
~nnouncements. It was called "verb,
tt's what you do."
Now, as an adult,-I watched the commercial, thought about the message
afterward, and came to my conclusion ;
this ad was horrible. The ad featured
verbs like run, fly or jump in the shape
of children that , as the commerc1al
went on, revelaed the children acting
out what the verbs had told them to do.
Not only was I confused with this, I

is, "go out and be active because we

NASCAR

' ·

.'

International Speedway during a
NASCAR-assigned three-day period in
January. An official test is held at a
track where Winston Cup races are

run.

· Winston Cup director John Darby
·said the reduction in test allowances
'was an overwhelming request from the
teams, who are trying to cut down on a
packed, I !-month season.
· But that doesn't mean teams still
aren't testing.
·
They'll take their cars to tracks such
!as Kentucky Speedway and USA
:International Speedway in Lakeland,
Fla., for tests that NASCAR can't
:monitor. There, they'll try radical
setups and things that won't make it
past a NASCAR inspector on tracks
that closely resemble Ch&amp;rlotte,
Richmond, .Las Vegas and others .
It's expensive - track time costs at
least $6,000, tires cost $8,000 and
travel, meals and lodging for a crew of
J 5 must be added in.
1 And scheduling isn 't that easy. Ford
·f!lready has Kentucky booked up for
'every Tuesday this year, meaning
.Chevrolet, Pontiac and Dodge have to
go elsewhere on one of the only two
available testing days that teams have
during the week once the season starts .
Still, it's invaluable practice time for
young drivers, even though veterans
would do anything to ~et out of it.
• "Seat time is seat ume. I'll take it
-wherever I can get it," said Casey
Mears, a rookie with Chip Ganassi
Racing. "We need to test so I can get a
feel for these tracks, and so the crew
and I can gel together and get to know
!ill our tendencies."

off the bench. Bidwell native Cynthia
Ward dished four assists.
Ohio Dominican got 17 points from
Janel Swinehart · and Nicole Stone.
Amanda Lewis poured in 14 points and
Becky Richter added II. Lewis corralled
seven rebounds and Keesha Smith handed out seven assists.
.
Rio Grande shot 38 percent (21-of-55)
Drivers aren't paid anything extra to
test, and Daytona is one of the few
tracks that sell tickets for fans· to
watch.
So about l 00 people spread out in
the Tum ·'.f'seats at Daytona to watch
cars run three laps a pop, then go back
to the garage for adjustments.
In just those short increments, a
computer propped on top of each
hauler spews out information collected
from inside the car.
Wilburn watches Wallace tum his
· taps on the track, then turns to the
computer. Wallace can tell him how
the car felt and if he liked the configurations used during that run, but the
computer gives the bulk of the information.
"It tells us everything we need to
know about the car and the changes w.e
need to make," Wilburn said. "Rusty
may or may not be comfortable with
someth ing, but this tells us if it's working or not."
For Johnson and his Hendrick crew,
they knew quickly that things weren't
working. Nothing Knaus tried seemed
to find ,any speed for his driver, which
meant he had to make the call back to
North Carolina and tell Jeff Gordon's
crew to start from scratch in their
plans.
Because Johnson and Gordon are
teammates and were separated in the
two test dales , Knaus could continue to
tinker with things during his session
while crew chief Robbie Loomis
planned a new course of action for
Gordon's track time.
After Gordon's test, the two crew
chiefs compare the data and tryoto figure out what kind of setups they'll
brin~ to Daytona next month for 500
qualifying.
If an easy solution can't be found,
Knaus will have to take the team to
Talladega for a second superspeedway

test. Because the Hendrick teams are
also headed to Las Vegas to test later
this month, Johnson's crew will likely
bum three of its allowed five sessions
before the season even starts .
"We're in a really deep hole right
now because we hope very much to be
in the championship hunt this year,"
Knaus said. "If we've used three tests
before the season even starts, it's like
tyin~ · our hands behind our back and
makmg us fight. We'll spend the rest of
the season trying to overcome it."

Happy parenthood leads
to a miserable marriage
DEAR ABBY: After three
years of marriage, my husband, "Jeff," and I dec1ded to
have a child. I became pregnant immediately.
· What I thought would make
us both happy and bring us
closer actually did the opposite. I had a miserable pregnancy and felt abandoned.
Jeff grew emotionally distant
and stopped communicating
almost completely except for
our constant battles.
Our son is now 16 months
old and the apple of my eye.
Jeff has a new JOb with a good
.future. We bought a house and
·Jive in a great neighborhood,
but he is still distant and picks
fights constantly. He agrees
counseling might help, but
refuses to go. I have tried to
improve our relationship,
including private counseling,
but it's not working.
Jeff is a great father but a
lousy husband . We both
changed with my pregnancy
- he went from a helpful,
happy husband to a miserable,
frustrated man. Divorce is
expensive - financially and
emotionally - and a battle
will most likely ensue over
our son. Where can I go from
here? - UNHAPPY IN
NORTH CAROLINA
DEAR UNHAPPY: With

Dear
Abby
ADVICE
no input from your husband
about what is wrong, it's difficult to say. However, one line
in your letter, "What I thought
would make us both happy
actually did the opposite,"
makes me wonder if your husband felt trapped by the pregnancy - and his subsequent
behavior is the result of feeling pushed into fatherhood he
didn't feel ready for.
Where you go · from here
depends upon how much
longer you're prepared to tolerate your living situation.
One thing is certain, nothing
will change until you BOTH
have laid your cards on the
table. If your husband refuses
to go to counseling, perhaps
your next step should be to
consult a lawyer about what
your options are. There are
worse things than divorce. A
contentious marriage like
yours is one of them.

DEAR ABBY: I am an
lith-grade girl. Our student
handbOok states that "public
display of affection is discouraged at school and could
result in disciplinary action."
If this is true, shouldn't a student also get in trouble for
sexual harassment?
A guy in one of my classes
has been touching, grabbing
and pinchin~ me. I told some
of my girlfnends, and two of
them said he does the same
thing to them. We hadn 't
wanted to tell each other, but
now we're glad we did.
We went to the assistant
principal's office with our
complaint. He gave the boy
one day of detention. After
that, things got worse. The
creep is sti II picking on us,
and our school isn't doing
anything to make him stop.
What do we do now, Abby?
Were we wrong to tell? If not,
how come nobody is doing
anything to protect us? School
is supposed to be a safe place,
right? Please help us. THREE GIRLS FROM
ZANESVILLE, OHIO
DEAR GIRLS: Document
each instance - date, time
and place- in order to establish a record. Tell your parents
what's going on. It's time for
your parents to discuss this

matter with the school principal . If that does not stop the
harassment, take it up with the
board of education. They need
to know what's going on
before it's necessary to take
legal action.
Readers, here is a gem. It
was submitted by Tom Berilla
of Silver Spring, Md.:
DEAR ABBY: My daughter, Claire, told my 3-year-old
granddaughter, Hanna, "We
plan to remodel the kitchen
and dining room, and move
the walls from ' here to
there."' Trying to include her
little girl m the project, she
asked, "And what would
Hanna like?" Hanna's reply:
''Take away the time-out corner!"

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. - The National
Prostate Cancer Coalition reveals that the incidence of prostate cancer in West Virginia is nearly one-fourth higher than previously believed,
making it the fourth largest jump in prostate cancer prevalence in the United States.
The NPCC says that other
states with high rates of
prostate cancer are explained
by pointing to a large population of African-Americans, a
that is at a particular
risk for the disease.

The West Virginia Cancer
Registry said that age is the
most significant risk factor, and that dietary fat
may also be a risk factor, although two local
prostate cancer survivors say that they eat diets
low in fat.
Jack Fowler of Point Pleasant, who i.s instrumental in the opening of the river museum, said
that he was diagnosed almost eight years ago
with cancer and had surgery.
He has been cancer-free since then. Fowler
said that he has always eaten a low-fat diet,
although he said he consumes meat with most of
his meals.
,
"I have always cut the fat off my meat. My
brothers and dad used to tease me about it when
I was young," said Fowler.
Jack Sturgeon, another prostate cancer sur"
vivor, said that his diet, too, was low in fat.
"My wife and I have tried to watch our choles-.
terol for years, so we eat lots of vegetables an~
don't eat fried or fatty foods," said Sturgeon. :
The WVCR cites that cancer of the prostate iri
West Virginia was the second leading cause of
cancer-related mortality in men during 1995 t&lt;i
1999. The registry also said that ha~ng a father
or brother with prosta~ cancer doubles a man'~
risk for this disease.

RAVENSWOOD, W.Va. An area environmental consulting ftnn is expanding its range of
services to aid people in Mason
County.
GreenScape
Analytical
Laboratories of Ravenswood,
W.Va., is now offering wastewater analysis to its list of services.
Owner Marlene EdgeliHammond
said
while
GreenScape currently has no
clients in Mason County, ther,
are "starting to talk with people. '
Hammond, a Wheeling native
with 25 years experience in environmental testing, opened he
business in July 1999 after purchasing equipment owned by her
fanner employer which went out
of business. She said she located
GreenScape in Ravenswood
because the City of Ravenswood
was already a client and because
she saw a need to provide environmental services to the area.
While GreenScape's clients
have to date been large coal companies,
Hammond
said
GreenScape has broadened the
services it offers to include
wastewater analysis in an
attempt to better serve the area.
She said the ability for
GreenScape to test and analyze
samples locally gives the company an advantage over other environmental consulting finns.
"I feel they will benefit greatly
from our services because there
are no other environmental services in Jackson and Mason
County," Hammond said.
