QI:imrs-6rntinrl Girl harassed by mother can't do anything right DEAR ABBY: I am a 14year-old girl. My problem is my mother and the nonstop fights we've been having lately. I'm trying hard to do ;tll the right things - keep my grades up. mamtain my friendships - and rnay6e find a nice boyfriend. . Through it all, I've tri'!(i to make Mom my No. I priority. My father lefi us, and Mom has done everything for my brother, sister and me. Evep when she had only 20 bucks in her pocket, she still kept us in our house with food on the table. What's hardest for me right now is that I can't do what other kids my age can -or go where they go- because of lack of money. I have been reading my Bible every day and praying for my family - even for my dad. But I can't seem to make Mom happy no maner how hard I try. She yells at me every time I turn around. I need some of your best advice, Abby. You can't imagine how great it would be for me to hear something positive from Mom for a change. Thanks for listening._ · -TROUBLE WITH MOTHER · · DEAR TROUBLE WITH MOTHER: From your description, it appears your mother is stressed out and not the mother she would wish to be. Her short fuse ·has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with her Dear Abby ADVICE overwhelming responsibilities to you and your siblings. Please don't take her outbursts personally. Clip this column and show.her this letter. Tell her that you wrote it, and that you kwe her, appre· ciate her and want to please her. Try to be understanding. She probably doesn 't realize how bad you have been feeling. and she needs all the support she can get right now. · If the yelling continues (too much yelling can be abusive). discuss it wtth your clergyperson or a counselor at school. They may be able to intervene on your behalf. As for your money problems, start asking around and see if you can pick up some baby-sit· ting jobs for extra money in the short term. In another year or two you will be able to get a part-time job if you wish. DEAR ABBY: My brotherin-law remarried a year ago. His new wife has a teenage son, "Josh," fmmapreviousrelation· ship, and my brother-in-law is in the process of adopting him. Recently my husband and I invited the three of them to our home. It was the fii'St time we had met our new sister- in-law and Josh. They both seemed nice, but my husband and I sensed that there was something about .the boy we weren't being told. List night, my husband's mother confided in him that four · years ago Josh was caught in the act of molesting and sodomizing his 9-year-old female cousin. He was convicted by juvenile court and sent away for three years. The next time we saw Josh after learning this information. we were at the home of some other relatives.

Ohio expects military business to increase WASHINGTON (AP) Military contracts for tank tracks, armored Humvees, decontamination kits and .aircraft pans have been rolling in to defense contractors across Ohio. A 4.3 percent increase in defense contracts in the past year has been partially spurred by the war in Iraq, where much of this high-tech equipment made or developed in Ohio is beit\g used, contractors say. An even bigger increase - particularly for those that ·make aircraft or vehicle pans - is expected once the government begins repairing equipment being used overseas.

'200.20 . . •' CINCINNATI (AP) Ohio's celebration of its 200 · years as a state is helping return John Hunt Morgan to the spotlight, 140 years after the Confederate soldier led a daring raid through Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. Mon Kunstler, an artist who . has specialized .or 15 years· in paintings of Civil War scenes mcluding the Battle of Gettysburg, has depicted Morgan's raiders as they may have looked riding through the · town of Montgomery, near Cincinnati, on July 14, 1863. A collection of Kunstler's works was published in 1986 in the book, "The American Spirit - The Paintings of Mort Kunstler," with text by Henry Steele historian Comma'ger. His Civil War paintings were featured in a 1993 television special on th'e A&E network. The Postal ServiCe commissioned him for a painting of the Buffalo Soldiers that · illustrated a stamp issued in 1994. The 1837 Universalist Church, which still stands, is Sunday, April 27 ,'2003 shown in his painting of an intersection through which Morgan's horse-mounted raiders rode. Kunstler plans to sign prints of the paintlng Saturday at the Cincinnati Museum Center, where the oil is on display, and . at the church. Civil War reenactors plan to ride by the church Saturday afternoon from a weekend encampment nearby. . "It's very exciting to think you can recreate a scene that took place 140 years ago," Kunstler said Friday. Actors plan to re-enact part of Morgan's raid this September in Meigs County in southeast Ohio. near where Morgan and his men battled Union troops before the leader escaped again. Morgan, who was from Lexington, Ky., was captured a week later near Lisbon in eastern Ohio. about 70 miles trom Lake Erie. Lester Horwitz, author of a 1999 book about Morgan's raid called " The Lorigest Raid of the Civil. War," helped Kunstler las t year with Tax proposal fights PA. Sunday, April 27, 2003 MICHIGAN , N.D. (AP) Matt Kroke offers a grim assessment of managing a store in a sleepy northeastern North Dakota town of 345. "Someone dies in this town and it affects our bottom line," he said . Tax breaks proposed in Congress to keep people and businesses in small towns are too late for the Johnson Store. Kroke is selling otT the business his father owns, and everything must go: the furniture upstairs, the hardware supplies by the counter, even the bike helmets shelved near the fl'\lnt windows for so long that their boxes faded in the sun. A group of U.S: senators thinks the jlOVemment should help busmesses like the Johnson Store stay open, even expand, by offering tax . breaks and investment cash · to slow a depopulation trend across the Great Plains. West V1rginia and Arkansas also would benefit from the proposal. 1\venty-one of West Vll'ginia's 55 counties and 12 ofArkansas' 25 counties would be eligible for the tax breaks. "None of us know whether this ultimately works," Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., said of the tax break proposal. "But we know what doesn't work: doing nothing." Dorgan and 12 other senators are sponsoring legislation to help counties that have lost more than 10 percent of their population since 1980. Most of those counties lie in a swath stretching from Texas and New Mexico to Montana and North Dakota. The senators named the bill the New Homestead Act after the 1862 law that offered free land to the migrants who settled the West. The bill would forgive 50 percent. of college loans up to $10,000 - for anyone who lives and works in an eligible county for five years. It also would offer tax credits and new deductions to home buyers and businesses, and a venture capital fund to guarantee private investments in small-town businesses. Kroke moved to Michigan I 0 years ago from East Grand Forks, Minn~. with plans to take over the Johnson Store from his father, Forrest. He had a few up-and-down years running the store before business slid away. Kroke decided to close the store after figuring his liquidated inventory would generate enough cash to cover the business' debts. He said he will look for work in Grand Forks once the store's inventory is sold, but wants to keep his faniily in Michigan, about 50 'miles away. . Although the New Homestead Act is too late for his store, Kroke would like to see its business incentives pass. " "You have to have jobs .before you can get people to move here," Knoke said. Rutgers University profes- research for the painting. The two toured Morgan's route last year. The Ohio Bicentennial Commission contacted Kunstler and commissioned him to do 'the painting. Morgan' s 1,000-mile raid distracted Union troops and terrorized residents along his route, resulting in more than 5,000 claims by residents of Indiana and Ohio dem<mding reimbursement from their state governments for cattle and other propeny taken by Morgan and his men . Horwitz. in research tor his book, trnced Morgan 's route by historical records of the claims. Through those records. he was able to pinpoint the times of day that the , Confederates went through a town.

(AP)- A 60year-old hiker rescued from a boulder-strewn crevice four duys after he was reponed missing was in serious condition Saturday with u broken foot and head injury but was expected to recover. Marvin Matsumoto, a San Jose postal worker, had no food or water with him and was wearing only a T-shirt and jeans when he disappeared Monday during a hike in Joshua Tree National Park with his 16-year-old son, Mark. · The teenager called authorities when Mutsumoto fuiled' to arrive at a prearranged meeting place. About 150 trained rangers and volunteers searched the park for days before Matsumoto was finally spotted Friday after· noon in a remote area not far from where he was lust seen, said National Park Service spokeswoman Lorna Lange-Daggs. "" I t\m overw helmed by the people's determination to find Marv,"" Matsumoto's wife, Mits, said. "That's how I felt the strength to hold together." Despite his injuries, rescuers said Matsumoto, a Vietnam veteran who had Marine Corps training in wilderness survival, wus alert and able to wave to his rescuers when he saw them. A helicopter was used to lift him out of the crevice, and he was listed in serious condition Saturday at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs. '· He ' ll probably be in the hospital for a few days," said hospital spokeswoman Eva Saltonstall. Matsumoto was treated for hypothermia and dehydration as well as hi s injuries. The national park covers more than I million acres and spans sections of the Mojave and Colorado deserts east of Los Angeles. ' RED LION, Pa. (AP) Friends of the 14-year-old boy who shot and killed his school principal said the teen told them he hated the man and brought a pocketknife to school in the days preceding the attack. About two weeks ago, after his sometime-girlfriend began dating another boy, James R. Sheets told friends that he · hated Principal Eugene Segro and the girlfriend, they s<)id. "He was pretty upset," said Chris Hill, a ninth-grader who said Sheets showed him a picture of the girl friend this week and said he wanted to resume the relationship. · On Thursday, authorities say Sheets brought three of his stepfather's revolvers to Red Lion Area Junior High School. In a cafeteria packed with stu· dents, Sheets shot Segro, 51, in the chest before putting another revolver to his head and committing suicide. Friends said they never thought Sheets would do such a thing. that he was a good student who stayed out of Republican Gov.

"That's why it shocked us so much." Sheets liked to wear cowboy boots, enjoyed hunting and talked often about guns, but had never seemed to need to show off, neighborhood friends said. He didn't get into rrouble at school and was a good student, they said. On Wednesday, Sheets brought a large pocketknife with a 3- or 4-inch blade and displayed it on the bus ride home, friends said. "I asked him why and he said 'To see if I could gel it through,"' with· out being detected by school officials, seventh-grader Jen Fogle said. Police did not return telephone calls Friday seeking comment on the investigation. They have said it was unclear whether Segro was the target of the attack, and that it was unclear whether the eighthgrader went to school that morning intending to attack anyone. Sheets had lived with his mother and stepfather for at least a decade in a split-level house in a rural subdivision outside Red Lion in southcentral Pennsylvania's dairy country. PROVIDENCE, R.I .

IN HISTORY ' PageA6 ' Sunday, April 27, Dear Editor: . I would like clarification on the policy regarding "personal attacks on individuals," specifically regarding the "Speak Out" feature and the letters column, in general. Exactly what constitutes a "personal attack''" Recently, I stated that an editor "had the same difficulty as most American s in thinking outside the limited interpretive framework designed by those who fashion our view of reality." I don't consider this a personal attack. Now, if I had stated that certain editors or local columnists are "igno. rant," or "stupid," that would be justifiably regarded as a personal attack. AI the risk of appearing to toot my own horn. I am a little too bright to believe that potshots directed toward ediiors are efficaciou s. A few years ago, a rebuttal to one of my letters suggest. ed that I would molest children. That remark made me snort fire. It was one of the lowest personal swipes I've ever seen and I marveled that it was printed. In regard to nationally-syndicated columnists, I take a different view. A certain conservative columnist routinely makes remarks that are viciou,sly cruel. For inStance, when he calls former Senator Jacob Javits, a man who died · of a crippling muscle disease, . a "liberal toad," I believe that liberals like myself are entitled to peel off the gloves and respond in kind. Jeft' Fields Middleport, Ohio Misrepresents Constitution BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS stinks of yellow journalism. The author's premise that the U.S. Constitution supports freedom FROM religion is bogus. By taking James Madison's comments out of context, Mr. Hentoff has sunk into the mire of rewriting, the U.S. Constitution to fit his pe'rsonal tastes . When freedom of religion was put into the Constitution, 98 percent of Americans were Protestants, 1.8 percent Catholic, and 0. 1 percent Jewish . That . leave s the miserly 0.1 percent as "others." The reason for the amendments regarding religion was that the Episcopal Church had been given "otJicial" status in several of the original 13 colonies .• The desire was to end this practice as well as to prevent any one Christian sect promoted over another and from any sect controlling political offices by requiring membership as a prerequisite. The Ordinance of 1785 that prepared the establishment of the Northwest Territory provided for tax money to support Christian churches. The Ordinance of 1787 said· that religion was a requirement for good government. The quotes 'to support this intent of the U.S . constitution regarding religion are extensive. The principal of "separation of church and state" was a mythical theory pulled by a radical U.S. Supreme Court in 1947 based on another misinterpretation of a statement made by a single -- · · founding father. ' Mr. Hentoff complains about the· movement to impeach the 9th U, S. District Court judges for ruling the "under God' as illegal in the Pledge of Allegiance. He again fails his supposed Constitutional credentials in that the Constitution allows Congress to take any subject out of the hands of the federal courts when it deems the courts to be outside their constitutional realm. He also fails to mention that the 9th U.S. District Court has been overturned so many times by the U.S. Supreme Court for 27 2003 200! ....• OUR · READERS' VIEWS ct.,. -6mttntl . . . 0 1n1on ..-•• ~ City . means we can updat~ and improve the infrastmc~ 1 · lure.

WILMINGTON, Ohio (AP) - Photographs of dogs,· cows. horses, llamas and even a kangaroo were fanned out on an examination table at the office of American Orthopedics. Office manager Richard Nitsch has fitted all of them witti arti!iciallimbs. Nitsch and veterinary surgeon David And~rson at Ohio State University teamed up three years ago to give animal amputees new lives by replacing lost limbs. _ '·All of them are .success stories in one way or another," Nitsch said while flipping through the photos. Columbus-based American Orthopedics makes artificial limbs for humans. Anderson was first approached in 1993 about doing surgery on a cow so it could be fitted with an artificial leg and continue to breed. After that, Anderson did artificial-limb operations once every couple of years. In 2000, Anderson discovered Nitsch "by luck" when local hospital officials told him Nitsch made artificial limbs for people. When Anderson presented the idea of making an artificial leg for a rare black alpaca, Nitsch agreed. Since teaming up with Nitsch, Anderson said he now does one or two artificial-limb operatiol)s a year. Nitsch also receives referrals from other vete.rinarians and . has made limbs for 14 animals from Ohio, Michigan and West Virginia. "I can't say there is anyone I know that is qoing this routinely," he said. . Linda Kubiak, whose llama broke its right front leg, heard about Anderson through a friend. After it broke its leg. Mocha, the 6-year-old, coffee-colored llama, had been . laying helplessly on the ground at its home in Springport, Mich. "In order for her to eat and drink. I would have to hold her head," owner Lirida Kubiak recalled . "I finally had to get a hoist in the barn. Every other day I had to lift her up to try to strengthen her leg." · Anderson amputated the leg, and Nitsch fitted it with an artificial limb. The llama can now run through the woods and even presents its artificial leg for changing, Kubiak said. "She is not sutfering. She is happy. Mocha's going to have a long life ahead of her," Kubiak said. Anderson said owners turn to artificial limbs because of their attachment to their ani- · mals or they want to preserve them for financial reasons. Llamas · ate raised for t~eir fur, and animals that lose a limb may not be able to breed. 'Therti's an increasing use Making and fitting artifiof prosthetics," Anderson said.

"We like Mark Brunell. We like David. We like all our quarterbacks. We're in an envious situation. Most teams are lucky to have one or two quarterbacks. We have three who can play."

After trading two first-round picks, Nos. 13 and 22 , to Chicago to move up to the fourth spot, the New York Jets went for DT Dewayne Robertson of Kentucky.

FAIRMONT. W.Va. - One-quarter mile at a time. Josh Starcher lays claim to the world's fastest teenager on land. As his East Fairmont High School ' classmates prepared for their prom this weekend, Starcher . had a date with a 6,000-horsepower top fuel dtagster in Bristol, Tenn., in his second National Hot Rod Association event. . No tuxedo. No corsage. No girlfriend on his arm. No regrets. "Not at all. Tntst me," the 18-year-• old said. "I'd miss a prom every weekend to go racing." . Especially against the industry's best at speeds over 300 mph. Starcher debuted on drag racing's top circuit in March, just 15 months ·after he completed a driving sch~l for top fuel dragsters and got an immediate offer to go behind the wheel for Charlotte. N.C. -based Colhart Motorsports. In his first NHRA qualifier last month in Gainesville. Ra., Starcher went head-to-head with one of drag racing's icons, ·" Big Daddy" Don Garlits. It was an experience Starcher simply describes as ;;awesome." Starcher drove a personal best 4.75 seconds at 305 mph, but lost the race. He eventually didn't make the qualifying tield of 16, which ended up as one of the fastest in top fuel dragster history. . It didn't matter. Starcher has plenty of tiriie to get it right. · · "He seemed like a nice, young kid," Garlits said. "He got down the quarter-mile. That's wh.at counts, so he's doing all right. Driving one of (hose cars, it's a handful for anybody, 18 or 80. "When I was 18, I was just driving iegu lar cars at the tracks. There ~eren't any dragsters. He's got a head start on all of that." : ·Staying ahead comes naturally for Starcher, who in eighth grade was thckling ll th grade Algebra II - certllinly an influence from his mom, a math professor at West Virginia Oniversity. ; Now a senior, Starcher's weekdays iJre filled with seven classes from ~mputers to business.

' Many more hikers ven ture out to enjoy the trail in smal ler pieces, rather than 1he monthlong marathon that Wood says is qften a practice run for hik ers considering the Georgia-to-Maine Appalachian Trail. · The association. which was founded in 1.972, a year after Bob Tabor and Nick ~ozano hatched the trail idea , recently pub\\ shed it s third-edition guide to the more."

And away we around in your own oil on fire. I've went into the. trailer and closed the done that before. door." "It's not fun.'' Josh has been modest ever since. In 200 I, father and son enrolled in a driving school in Mooresville, N.C., both seeking licenses to drive top fuel dragsters. Joel Collins, coowner of Colhart Motorsports, ntn the school. Collins went to high school with basketball great Michael Jordan in Wilmington, N.C. Back then, Collins knew that Jordan was going to be special, .and Collins had the same hunch about Starcher. "When I saw Josh, something pushed me to want to lean toward him," Collins said. "He just showed qualities that I don't think you see every day. He had this look · on his face. You could tell right away that he had the ability to learn. He was focused on what he was doing." Collins offered him an open spot as a driver on the International Hot Rod Assoeiation circuit, considered less prestigiou s than . the older NHRA. At his first IHRA race, Starcher went 300 mph . "At 17. the world's fastest teenager all of a sudden," Collins said. Running juSJ eight of 12 races last Other drivers don't mind the challenge from someone so young. "For me. I don't even thi.nk about it. Some guys have had to go t~~ou&h. things to get those hcenses, satd Clay Millican, the two-time defending IHRA national champion who is ninth in the current NHRA Top Fuel standings. . "Once I put my helmet on, there really is nobody in ~he other lane. That's just kind of the way it is. lf they're worried about who is in the other lane. they're in trouble." Earlier this month in Baytown, Texas. Doug Kalitta made the fastest run in NHRA history at 333.91 mph and tied the record time for a quartermile pass of 4.486 seconds. With technology, Garlits won't be surprised if Starcher is around long enough to go even faster. · "You'll see him go 350 (mph) in the quarter. He ' II probably be tn one when it does that. He'll get in the 3second zone. I believe that's possible," Garlits said. All this used to scare Vicki Marra, Starcher's girlfriend of 10 months who has her own need for speed as one of the state's top 100- and 200meter high school sprinters. The fir~t time Marra saw Starcher race last year in Norwalk, Ohio, she. thought he. was crazy. "Now, I love it,'.' she said. She 's already forgiven Starcher for passing over the prom. If Marra was. n't on the homecoming court, she'd skip it as well to see him race. 'T d take a track meet over a dance any day, so I can see where he's coming from," she said. ~llegheny.

(AP) -A small helicopter swooped down low over Blackwater Falls on Wednesday to let off a few passengers - a bucket full of rainbow trout. The helicopter's blades whipped up the spray from the falls as the fishes' shiny bodies wriggled out of the bucket and into a foamy pool about I 5 fe.et below. "They have to be pretty nervy to do that." said Mike Shingleton, assistant chief for cold water·· management for the state Division of natural Resources The operation is part of a joint effort between the DNR and the state Department of Environmental Protection to restore life to a river once devastated by mining damage . The agencies have been working together since the 1990s to help bring trout to an area of the Blackwater River that had long ago been made inhospitable to fish 'by acidic runoff from old coal mines. With help from the West Virginia University Engineering School, the agencies designed and installed a $1 million plant upstream near Davis to reduce the river's acid level with limestone - and· bring back fish . Shingleton said the technique and similar programs using limestone sand have been used successfully throughout West Virginia to revive. waters damaged by acid mine drainage and acid rain. "We've never had a failure with treatment," said Shingleton. "It's .certainly not the answer to acid rain but it's an answer to the impacts of <fid rain." Once the river's acid levels were back to normal, an annual helicopter ·stocking of about 500 rainbow trout near Blackwater Falls began in 1995. Though small, young trout can be brought into remote areas using backpacks or even mules, those techniques don't work for rainbow trout, said Shingleton. Rainbow trout aren 't native to the area and conditions aren't ideal for them, so .they must be brought in as adults. The adult fish are too heavy to transport into the · . gorge by any means other than helicopter. . \ ~ .... ' •'- Cook of the Week, Page C2 .

The ' DNR stocks the state's waters with about I. I million to 1.2 million catchable size fish and 7.00,000 young, brown trout per year. Regular stocking of the Blackwater River and other areas of the Canaan Valley have made the region a big draw for fi shermen . "Most people who come in here don't come alone," said Shingleton. . Fishing supplies have become the breadand-butter business for Wilderness Sports and Crafts in Davis. "Last year we · sold night crawlers and meal worms all year long," said owner Denny Shoemaker, who said he routinely receives call from fisherm.an as far away as Washington, D.C., looking for updates on the latest stocking. David Broschart, .district engineer with the -DEP's Office of Abandoned Mine Lands and Reclamation, has been part of the Blackwaier project since the beginning. But he fears it might end, if funding for his office isn 't renewed in 2004. "It's something we put our heart and soul in and we don't want to see die," said Broschart . But he said he believes his office, which also addresses safety issues such as subsidence, will get irs renewal as it has done twice before.

Kuwait and prior to the war's starting, we were tasked with bree~hing the Iraqi border, and then securing the port city of Umm Qasr. Prior to the start of the fighting, I wondered what the people in the Iraqi military might be feel ing and think· ing, being part of a military that could not truly conduct offensive operations of any major scale. How could one fight for an army that could not win' We had intelligence reports that told us that there had been attempts to surrender, even before the battles had started. We wondered if there would actually be any fight ing at all. Soon after we crossed the bOrder we began to see the war up close. The first Enemy Prisoners of War were being handled and the first of the dead were being buri ed. As we conducted the search of the berms we had our first real glimpse of how these people lived and how they waited for us to cross the border. . We found a few weapons, and I saw nothing . that resembled food at all. The Iraqi officers said they would put four soldiers who did not want to fight between those who did, so they would not surrender without fighting, and that we might not fire at the soldiers shooting for fear ·of hitting the ones surrendering. We took 250 Enemy POW's within the first few hours. I looked at these soldiers and saw none of the pride in their military. As they were questioned they stated that some had just been pulled from the streets and forced to fight. · These were the scenes that repeated themselves over again from one fight to the next. I wondered how many were killed who did not even want to be there. Coming from Meigs County, I had limited knowledge of the outside world, prior to joining the Marines. After joining the Corps, a world was whole new opened to me. But even after more than · 17 years in the Corps, I sti II call Meigs County "home." Keeping this in mind, I felt that being here and sharing my experiences might help others see what is happening out here from the point of view of a "local" - if I can still be called that.

Emma has come to many a farmer she has never met, a sort of mai \-orderbride, though she is very indignant when anyone suggests this. The prim and proper Miss Emma is stood up by the farmer. takes up residence in the bordello (mistaking it for a boarding house ), and is not quite what she seems.

Our tour guide told us that tourism has increased forty per cent since the publishing of that book. Their biggest industry is shipping. and a constant parade of container ships passed by Tybee Island, where we were staying. Author John Berendt spent eight years, off and on, researching for " Midnight." The story is pan history. part travelogue. part mystery thriller. One critic called it the best "non-fiction \10vel" since "In Co ld Blood." Berendt skillfully describes some of Savannah' s most colorful eccentrics, such as the black transvestite known as The Lady Chablis (he/she is stii'l performing in a Savannah club). The story centers around Jim Williams. a wealthy international antiques dealer. who gave the most elegant parties in Savannah. He lived in Mercer House, occupied in the past by the composer, Johnny Mercer (Moon River) . There is no argument that he shot and killed the hustler, Danny Hansford, characterized by locals as a '·walking streak of sex." There were four separate · murder trials. One was a mistrial, two hung juries. and a quick vote for acquittal in the final one. Jim Williams died of a heart attack six months later in the same room where he killed Hansford.

I'm no Martha The big question for both commercial vegetable growers and home gardeners has been. is the chance of frost over yet? Weather prediction is both a sc ience and an art. According to The Ohio State University 's Ohio Agronomy Guide, the chance of havin g air temperatures below freezing (32 degrees F) in Meigs County is April 25 fnr the eastern two-thirds of the county and April 30 for the western third. This is based on climatic data gathered over the past l 00 years by NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration). However. vegetable growers along the Ohio Ri ver in Letart have been planting tomatoes since mid-April. They count on the warmth of the Ohio River to create a fog bank if temperatures dip near freezing. The fog bank blankets the . tender plants in above free zing air temperatures. With some trepidation, I've advised homeowners within eyesight of the Ohio River that the first week of May be used for the normal frost-free date and Mother's Day for the rest of the county. Last year, May 23 was the latest frost in Meigs County with plants along the Ohio River just missing being frosted. My best advice is to follow your own records of the latest freeze dates in your area and modify it with your willingness to replant a few plants or cover your plants if a frost is forecasted. Cloth or remay type film (spun cloth) is better than plastic, as plastic allows heat to be transferred from the plants needing protected if it is touching the plant.

Before you panic about paint, rest assured the job is easier and faster than it used to be, and the basic essentials - paint. brushes, sprayers are better. too. . "Painting a house isnt the chore it om:e was," says Ben Mauceri , the exterior paint expert for Lowes Home lmprovement Warehouse. "Paint on 1he market today lasts longer, goes on easier. and looks better." Acrylics remain the paint of choice. Most top-shelf paints are 100 percent acrylic. Acrylics embody everything . homeowners want 111 paint. This includes smooth. even coverage, a wider variety of color choices. quick drying time. the ability to withstand weather, and easy cleanup. According · to Randy Schuetz of Valspar Paint. homeowners gravitate to paints that last longer and allow them to customize their color selections. ''Homeowners want a minimum of time investment for a maximum of longevity." says Schuetz. "They ·want to apply it and forget about it for a long time." Todays acrylics last up to 25 years before a new coat is needed. Ex·pect to pay $18 to $24 per gallon for top-quality . paint. Schuetz says an abundance of four com ponents separates gooa pmnt lrom liquid alsoran s: pigments, binders, additives and liquids .

Occasionally, someone gets crefitive and adds a piece of wood trim instead. Th1s limits the variety of appearances that a plastic laminate top can ha.ve to the pattern and color of the top material and the few edge selections noted here. As a result. it is difficult to create a plastic laminate top that is umque. For this reason. some folk s think that plastic laminate tops are not an "upgrade" finish. But pla st ic laminate tops are amon g the easiest to maintain.· Permaedge is a relatively new concept in the fabrication of plastic laminate countertop edges. The manufacturer has developed several interesting edge shapes that have been made even more attractive to the user by providing multiple · colors and patterns. The beveled-edge style, for example, has a front surface (about 3/4inch wide), a 45-degree bevel (about 3/8-inch wide) and a top surface (about l-inch w1de). Each surface can be fini shed with a different color and style of plastic laminate material. Normally, a rolled-edge co unter would be one color and pattern. With the Permaedge process, the .countertop can be one color and the edg~ (Permaedge) can be made using up to three colors -sort of like an edge-banded carpet in two or more colors . The one 1-1/2-inch-wide bev- eled Permaedge can be fabr icated with decorator-matched laminates. giving a four-color look to an otherwise mundane · product. In stalling Pcrmaedge is not for the do-it-you rse lfer because it requires the use of highly specialized tools that cost almost $2000. and they are not available for rent anywhere that we know about. The tools even-out and square the edges of the countertop and cut a continuous notch (dado) into that same edge . Yet another tool allows th e fabricator to make perfect 45degree miters at corners. We think that elegant cou ntertops can now be created from plastic laminate s that will lend new and int erest ing beauty to what were o nce considered bottom-of-the-line materials.

Raben Wingett, trustee of the Meigs County Historical Society, intrpduced guests from the Central Ohio Chapter of the Huntington 's Disease Society of America and the Ohio Historical Society, who joined the local Society in efforts to obtain the marker. Pomeroy Mayor John Blaettnar extended a welcome. Margaret Parker.
