Bells were cast in seven counties in 2001, 41 more are scheduled for ihis year, and the final 40 in 2003. . The Cincinnati-based Verdin Compariy. in business since 1842 and the world's largest bell company, has provided bells and ringing equipment to more than 30,000 churches. The company is perhaps best known for creating arid casting the 33-ton, 12-foot-tall World Peace Bell for the millennium celebration. Verdin commissions include the famed "Big Ben" bell in London and the ·1804 San Juan Capistrano mission bells. According to Moretti, the commemorative bells are being- molded in the style of the Liberty Bell and. personalized with the county name, forging date, the Great Seal of Ohio and the Bicentennial logo. For use in creating the bells on site, Verdin has · assembled a "foundry on ~.~.· .· --v wheels'' consisting of 12,000 pounds of equipr ment moun.ted on a 40foot trailer. The production of each bell is ·an out-in-the-open, public event. Moretti said that an .area on the parking lot along Main Street across from The Fabric Shop has been designated for production of Meigs County's 250-pound, two-foot high, bell. A stage will be erected nearby for entert.1inment and speakers, she said. .......... Bell• .u CRASH INVESTIGATED - A GMC Jimmy driven by. Raymond F.

The 1997 welfare reform law limited recipients lo three years of cash assistance. It also provides that those having a partieularly hard time can get extensions allowing them to receive the money beyond the deadline. But few do. In 2001, Ohio's counties gr.~nted a fraction of the total number of hardship extensions the federal government said could have been provided in the state, according to a review of welfare caseload data by The Associ:lted Press. Federal law allows the state to have up to 17,800 cases unde'r extensions at any given time, but throughout last year about 1,300 cases, or 7 percent, on average were under extensions, the review showed. · Welfare officials say Ohio counties gr.~nt few extensions because they receive few applications. They say the small numbers show that welfare reform has succeeded because 96 pen::ent of those who have -received assistance have left welfare before their time expired. Therefore, they haven't had to ask for more time. "It shows that time limits are workingiq the country," sai4 Joel Pota, a wdfare policy administr.~tor for the Ohio Department of Job all!i Family · Services. "It demonstrates the new philosophy of weifare reform - · that public assistance is temporary." ~ ' Advocates for the poor say the number of extensions granted is low because requirements vary fiom county to county and weitare .recipients aren't aware of their optiqns. , _ "They're having a hard time interpreting what's available to them in the system;' said Gwen Robinson, president of the Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies.

There is no third way," On the matter of cultural decay, Buchanan is equally merciless. The problem is "the rise to dominance of an antiWestern culture in the West, deeply hostile to its religions, traditions, and morality...." Buchanan is confident that the new culture cannot survive and prosper, and he has various suggestions for combating it, but in the end he . is not optimistic:" ... it may be that the time of the West has come, as it does for every civilization, that the Death of th e West is ordained ... Absent a revival of faith or a great awakening, Western m~n and women may simply live out their lives until they are so few they do not mat- ter." I am, in one way, a bit more optimistic ·than Buchanan. The loss . of religious faith that received -its great impetus from the Enlightenment may be reversed when science acknowledges what it is just now ·in the process of discovering: that it is simply (and permanently) incapable of answering the truly ultimate questions about the nature and origins of the universe. And that religious revival -in a form congenial to 21st-century ·man - may manifest itself, as the next step in God's plan, in the very Third World whose teeming millions so alarm Pat Buchanan today.

' :raking a fiber laxative every . oay helps, but it doesn't make ine regular. Is there any cure for chronic constipation? Answer: Constipation is a common complaint, and the ' $tudies of it reveal widely yarying occurrence rates ranging from three to 30 per· ~ent of the United States pop· ulation. ·• It is hard to tell why these ftudies come up with such different estimates. It may be because of the way questions on particular surveys were worded, ihe manner of survey . administration, or because of real ~ariations within the different study populations. Taking an av~rage of these studies, it seems a reasonable estimate would be that within the \ Pomeroy, Middleport, Ohio total U.S. citizenry. about 12.5 percent of adults under age 65 are suffering .from this prob)em and 23 percent for those 65 or older. For my purposes, I'll use the definition of chronic co nstipation as having two or fewer bowel movements per week, often straining to pass stool, having hard dry bowel movements, and frequently having the sensation of incomplete evacuation. Women report constipation about twice as often as men do in our country, although this isn't true in all countries and cultures. Non-whites in the United States report constipation about 1.3 times more frequently than do Caucasians. Interestingly, in studies done in Africa and India, the ratcu for non-whites and whites are essentially the same.

So, it is difficult to determine whit is causing your constipation. Hormone imbal~ ance, medicines, depression, diet, bowel . movement habits and other factors can be involved. I'd suggest that you try the obvious simple things you've probably already done - a high-fiber diet, plenty of water, at least 30 minutes of exercise every day, and going to ·the bathroom when the urge · to defecate first occurs .instead of holding it until a "more convenient" ume.

His quarterback coach suggested he learn about leadership and how others played that position. So, as Dick Rehbein recommended, Brady read books about Gen. George Patton and retired NFL quarterbacks Phil Simms and Ken Anderson. Now Brady is in the Super Bowl. Rehbein would have loved that. He was 45 when he died of heart failure Aug. 6 during the New England Patriots' training camp. He left behind his wife Pam, daughters Betsy and Sarabeth - and three admiring qu~rterbacks . "He had me . doing book' reports this summer;' Brady said Tuesday, five days before the Patriots face the St. -Loui~ Rams. "Coach Rehbein was a tremendous influence on my life, on all the quarterbacks' lives on what it takes to be successful." Brady and Drew-Bledsoe have been so successful that the week began with uncertainty about which one would start Sunday. Brady is I 3-3 since replacing the " injured Bledsoe as a starter. But Brady sprained his left ankle late in the first half of last Sunday's 24- I 7 victory over Pittsburgh, and Bledsoe came in to throw a touchdown NSS and help the Patriots win. Coach Bill Belichick planned to wait until after Wednesday's practice before announcing §unday's 'starter, although Brady walked without a limp Tuesday. Rehbein was starting his 23rd season as an NFL assistant, but only his second with the Patriots- He spent the previous eight as an offensive assistant with the New York Giants and went to New England when Belichick became head coach. He made such an impression so quickly that his wife and daughters were named honorary captains and took part in the coin toss before the Patriots' playoff win in Pittsburgh. Some better known figures filled that role for the Steelers - former players Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, L.C. Greenwood and Donnie Shell. All were on Super Bowl-winning teams. " Coach Rehbein made such -a Minnesota Vikings, where he served great contribution this year, and the through 1991. players genuinely feel his presence," Bledsoe already was an outstanding Patriots owner Robert Kraft said after quarterback before R-ehbein joined the victory.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The NFL is spending millions of dollars and employing thousands of workers to make the Superdome the · safest place in America on Sunday. Federal authorities have designated the Super Bowl a National Security Special Event - one that is h'ighprofile, high-risk, like presidential inaugurations and political conventions. And now it applies to America's biggest football game. "Our attitude is, if we have to do it to protect our fans, we're going to do it," NFL vice president · of security Milt Ahlerich said Tuesday. ''I'm very comfortable with the plans we've made." . Elevating the Super Bowl to such important security status is yet another ~ig change in the post-Sept... 11 sports world. In two weeks, the Salt Lake City Olympics will get the same treatment, and Ahlerieh conceded the NFL - which has always prided itself on leaving no stone unturned - ' will neve,r view Super · Bowl security the same. "We've talked about that a lot;" he said. "We agreed that we'll never go back to the way it was." An NSSE designation places the Secret ,Service in charge of the thousands of police, military and guards working the game. The heads of several city and state law-~nforcement units will work out of a central command post near the Superdome. Mike James: head of th.e New Orleans · branch of the Secret Service, put the scope of the security sweep in perspective when he told reporters that President Bush has no plans to attend the game, "but if he were to come, the level of security will not change at all." · Through their news . conference, James, In the NFC championship game last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, Bruce had . several big moments.
