Christ ina Rosetti .' 13riti sh po~t (I HJ0-·1874). , < OUR READERS' VIEWS Meigs' biggest blessing Dear Editor: It is said that this is the ti.me to show thanks for all blessi ng s in life. During this season , people . everywhere show love and compassion to their fellow human s throu gh warm embraces, phone calls , cards and gifts. Unfortunately, fo r what 1 am thankful , those si mply do not seem enough . I would like to show a spe cial thanks to so methin g very special in my life by telling everyone about Carleton School and how it has affected my family. When we moved to Ohio two summers ago, I found it extremely difficult to find a day-care facility within a reasonable distance that had any _o penings. We decided to allow my eldest son, Grey son, to start .kindergarten so that he wo·uldn 't sit around and waste a year of pos sible learn ing. My youngest son, Johann, was left to fend for himself in the world of priv ate day-care. Grey son .battled with kindergarten . He was smart enough; he just didn ' t have the self-di scipline to sit still. Each day .his di slike of school grew while hi s self-esteem dimini shed . I finally gave 1n and withdrew him from school shortly before Christmas. It was then that a good friend, Sandy Phil son, suggested the peer preschool program at Carleton School. After contacting Kay Davi s, th e director, she arranged for my son to begin when school started back after the holiday break. What a godsend! I cannot believe the changes I saw in Greyson after attending Carleton for only a few ; hort weeks . He gained back l1is self esteem bec ause hi s teachers, Debbie and Kelly, constantly praised him for being a wonderful helper. They gave him what he felt 'were leade rs hip role s within the class room. Each day was filled with fun , edu cational activities. Greyson felt important and loved by . hi s teach ers , makin g him ·enjoy school once again. He loved attending Carleton so much that he did not want to leave to begin kinderg arten at a different school. He gave many reasons why Ca r,leton was the only sc hool for him. Know ing the he held Carleton in such high esteem made me appre ciate even more all they have done for him . He now attends kinder garten at Eastern Elementary. Durin g the nin e weeks awards asse mbl y, Greyso n was honored for co mpl eting homework and being an "A ll A~ ' stu dent. I know that he would not ha ve bee n as successfu l if it hadn't bee n for the foundation that was built by the staff at Carl eton School in the pee r presc hool program . This year Johann attends Carleton Sc hoo l. He has met wi th much the same succe>S as Greys on . Johann 's social skills have impro ved. he IS learnin g mu ch. and he enjoys hi s teac hers. Kri st a' and Debbie , and his cla ss mates. Tho ugh Joh ann will begi n kindergarten nex t year, he wi ll hav e a few wee ks thi s summer to spend with hi s teac hers and friend s in Carl eto n's Summer Fun program . The program offers children \he opportunity to experience events they may never have to opportunity to , from horseback riding, swimming and picnics in the park to vi siting a bakery, doing crafts, and meeting a highway patrolman. With all the great experience s and fond memories, I know that Johann will be ready for anything kindergarten ha s to offer. · Carleton is more than just another sc hool in Meig s County. The faculty and· staff put a tremendous amount of effort into providing qu ality educational activities in an .· uplifting learning environment for all their students. Each day when I look at iny children I see Carleton and the good it has done them. Too often in life parents only acknowledge schools when they do a poor job or fail to acknowledg e them at all because they are only doing an average job . I consider Carlet?n School . as one of Metgs County s b1ggest blessings, and for that I am rnpst thankful. Heather Wolfe Syracuse Thanks constituents Dear Editor: I am writing to express my appreciation to the people of Meigs County for choosing me to be their state representative for the past eight years. It has been a privilege and an honor to work with the citizens of Meigs County and advance ·their concerns on the state level. It was my goal when I was elected as your state representative to have new schools in place , a viable industrial park and the ·completion of the Raven s ~ood Connector on U.S. 33 underway. I am glad to say that with many people in Mei gs County working as a team, you have accomplished this agenda. I know that even greater things are ahead for Mei gs County and even though I will not officially represent you . I will not forget Meigs County. My family and I enjoyed attending all of the event s from Meigs County, from ice cream soc ials · to parade s. We have made so man y good friends that we will alwavs cherish. I would like to thank Jane Walton who served as my cam paign coordinator, and all of my friend s and supporters , in the county. I especially enjoyed working with the county commi ss ioners and ot her loca l officials. I cannot list all of the organization s that I worked with , but I would be remiss. if I didn' t mention the CIC and Chamber of Comme rce for their effo rts. I also want to thank The Daily Sen tinel and WMPG for their as sistance in he lping inform the area of n1y open door sc hed ule. I co uld not have done it without them . I wan t to thank the hundreds of people who ca me to my open doors and ex pressed their opinion s and con ce rn s.

State Rep,-elect Jimmy Stewarf has promised that he will carry on' this practice . I look forward to work-: ing with him on issues facing our region.

WAUBROWN POMEROY - Will selectmg and decorating a Christmas tree be a family event this holiday season? Whether you choose a live ChristmaS tree or an artificial tree depends upon your uses of the iree. Do you want to start a family tradition of planting each year's tree in the yard? A balled and burlapped evergreen would be best. Do you want the scent and to feel the branches of an evergreen in your home like your grandparents had? Select a live cut ChristmaS tree to enjoy the odor of evergreen this year. Do you want to celebrate the holiday by leaving up decora~ tions from Thanksgiving until after the New Year? Anificial evergreen trees will be the only safe choice for inside use. Some · famili~s choose to have both a live tree and an artificial tree in their home. Whichever type you choose, remember to share the joy of decorating with loved ones and family acquaintances who may not be able to h;lve a tree in their home or apartment. Start a family holiday tradition by selecting, decorating and using live Christmas trees from local . Christmas tree farms. Be safe, whether you have a live or artificial tree by always unplugging tree lights before bedtime "and whenever you leave the home unattended. Live trees, whether cut or balled and burlapped, Je a Hal Kneen renewable resource. A six to seven foot tree may take seven to 10 years to grow in a tree plantations from two-year seedlings. During this growing interval the trees are pruned in early summer. Weeds are controlled by mowing and some hoeing or application of weed killers. The tree farm provides shelter for birds and animals, erosion control for sloping land, creates oxygen for us to breathe and scenic beauty for us to enjoy. If purchasing a balled and burlapped Christmas tree for transplanting into the yard after the holidays, remember these few pointers. The tree is alive and needs to be treated carefully. Store the tree before decorating in a sheltered area outside away from wind and afternoon sun. Mulch the soil ball to prevent the soil from freezing. Many homeowners fmd a bucket (like horsefeed container) to put the ball of soil in. This helps retain moisture and provides a stand for the tree. Watering the ball of soil is less messy, too. Don't plan on keeping the tree inside the horne for than three to five days. Our warm, dry homes cause the tree to lose moisture and begin to brealc its donnancy period. A cool (6065 degree) room is preferred. Allow the tree to re-adjust to the outdoors by gradually acclimatizing the needles and root . system to the outdoors. Place the evergreen outdoors in a protected area away from sun and wind for two or three days. Pre-dig your hole in the yard so when the evergreen is removed from the · home iis new site is ready. Many times winter rains and snow hinder a timely planting. Water in the new tree, to settle the soil around the soil ball of roots. .Apply " two to three inch layer o( mulch around the tree to hold in the soil temperature so rOOts can develop and absorb water necessary for the tree's survivaL Support the tree using stakes to prevent wind blowing over the tree, remember the tree's anch<ir roots have been -cut off. The tree will need to be watered during any drought periods in the first couple of years until the root system is well established. If you purchase a cut live tree, select trees whose needles are flexible. A good test is to detach a needle from the tree and place lengthwise between your thumb and forefinger, then bring your fingers together. The needle should bend, not snap in two. Trees . whose needles are dry and break will not hold their dies long in the home. Re-i:Ui the tree trunk base at least orte · to two inches arid irrunediately set into warm water in the · garage or basement. You will be surprised as to how many gallons of water will be absorbed by the tree. OJt off another inch or so just before you set up the tree in the tree stand. Remember to irrunediately put water into the £ret: stand so the tree can absorb water. Continue to check the water twice daily both morn~ ing and afternoon. · Different tree varieties may last longer than others. Balsam, Canaan and Fraser fii trees tend to hold their needles the longest and are nonnaU_y priced higher. Scotch pine :ts the most common Christtnas tree grown and sold in OhiQ and . holds its needles wen.: White pine, Colorado sprucie and Norway spruce are other species of evergreen commonly used as Christmas trees. If you want to plant an evergreen back into the yard. select a Canaan fir, white. pine or spruce as they ·have a greater chance to survive in our local · climatic area.

But he would rather be in Memphis. Cincinnati, which tied TCU for the. Conference USA championship and defeated the Horned Frogs, was passed over by the Liberty Bowl, which had the first ,choice of Conference USA bowl teams. The Bearcats wound up in the New Orleans Bowl, which had the fifth and final selec-. tion. "We feel good about coming to the New Orleans Bowl, have no doubt about it," Minter said ~onday curing a visit to NeW'.Odeans. "But we felt that we deserved to get to play in the championship . game as designated by our conference. "I can't say that the way our league handles its bowl business is one of our more admirable qualities. I do not agree with the system, and hopefully it will be changed." Minter said that aside from the prestige of the Liberty Bowl, his principal problem with being in the New Orleans Bowl is the-Dec. 17 date. That comes only II days after the Bearcats' final regular-season game, a 42-26 victory against East Carolina last Friday that made the Bearcats eligible for a bowl. Playing again . so soon deprives Cincinnati of the extra practice time most bowl teams receive. Because the Bearcats played on the road last Friday and arrive in New Orleans this Friday, two weekends when recr11its would normally.be on campus were wiped out. •' If not picked for the Liberty Bowl, Minter said, it would have been more logical for Cincinnati to have played in the Dec. 27 Houston BowL But Minter added: "New Orleans is a great place to come to."

The game was a physical contest with neither team leading by more than 8 points during the con~st. Free throw shooting during the fourth quarter cost the Marauders dearly in the game as the Maroon and Gold co nnected on just 7 of 14 in the _last 5:35_ of the game and JUSt 14 of 26 for .. the entire game. Waterford Coach Steve Roe attributed the win to the leadership of 8 seniors on the team, especially the play of Travis Harra on the boards. Waterfo rd jumped to an early 2-0 . lead only to see th e Marauders run off 7 straight points culminating in a Ryan Hannan 3 poi'nter off an assist of Carl Wolfe. Coach Roe· called a time out to settle hi s troops and the ploy seemed to work as .the Wjldcats came out and scored the games next 12 points, to build a 14-7 le ad. The 5:23 Meigs drought ended when Jon Bobb hit a ·field goal with :30 to go in the period. After an old fashioned three-point play by Seth Arnold, Buzz Fackler scored to bring the count to 17-11 at the end of eight minutes of play. The seco nd stanza saw Meigs retake the lead with :03 to go in the half when Brook s John son scored inside off a Fackler assist. The quarter was sloppy with the two teams combining for 18 turnovers, I0 by Waterford and 8 by the Marauders . The teams headed to the locker room with Meigs leading 27-26.

Senior Brigette Barnes pumped in 13 points, Rachel Chapman added eight, Ashley Dunn nine, Deana Pullins six. and Brooke Kiser one. Tara Pickens had several key rebounds and a good post defensive game, while Jessica Hill contributed some key defense when SHS was in foul trouble in the second quarter. Belpre (2-2 , 1-0 TYC Ohio). was led by freshman post Brittany Ferguson, who scored a game-high 18 points and had eleven rebounds .for a double-double, while sophomore guard Whitney Blackburn notched 17 points and had three assists. Shawna Mincks posted · 13 points, while Holly Coats added six, Audree Miller four, Madison Stephens three, Andrea Waters two, and Tabitha Van Dyke two.· The game was a game of momentum and a game of matching strategies. Never more than a seven point game either way, the large crowd witnessed one great game. Belpre took a 3-0 lead on a Shawna Mincksf three pointer, then Katie Sayre nailed a baseline jumper for a 3-2 tally. Blackburn drove baseline for a short jumper and a 5-2 BHS lead, then Brigette Barnes nailed a driving layin for Southern.

Southern's Dunn hit two free throws and Barnes nailed two free throws for a one point game. Waters hit an outside jumper for Belpre and Coats hit a free throw to give Belpre a 1915 advantage after one round. In the second period Southern dug in defensively, but like Belpre went deep into its bench with several players having two or more fouls. With only two ------ -- __.. ---- --·-- starters from both sides mixing it up, both clubs battled equally tough. Deana Pullins made some big plays for Southern and team mate Brooke Kiser came up with a couple key rebounds and a big free throw. Tara Pickens, who recorded 'five . rebounds on the night, made her pre sence known in Southern's inside game. Playing a somewhat Jim: ited role in Belpre's previous games, freshman Ferguson was a deadly force against the Tornadoes.

PleiiM IH Sefety, AS BY J. MILES LAYTON Sentinel correspondent BY CHARLENE HOEFliCH News editor POMEROY - Reports on progress of building projects m the Meigs Local School District were given by Superintendent William Buck:ley at Tuesday night's meeting of the Metgs Local Board of Educatidl'l. · A projection thAt the new Meigs Middle School will be completed by the end of February was made by Buckley. He said that probably the next decision to be made by the board will be whether to move students into the building in March, or·wait until the parking lots are paved. which could be sometime around the end of April. . He reported the roofing is being completed, painting of classrooms is underway, lighting is P.artially in, and the boilers wtll be started up in late December. "Everything is coming along real well. right on schedule," he added . . As for the new elementary school under construction on Ohio Route 124 near Rutland, he projected completion in June. Buckley noted that his biggest concern is cost overrun. That is due, he explained, because the original masonry contractor had to be taken off the job and a new contractor. hired in its place. "Another issue we have to deal with there," said ~ . superintendent, "is the Mft! behind the building." The estimated cost of repair, he reported, is about $1.3 million. Suggested options for repair have included removal of tons of dirt and replacing with stone, or building a retaining wall. . Buckley also noted that some money originally scl)equled to be used for tearing down the old school buildings might be transferred in to tile construction cost. Buckley did say that there .will be no change in plans for tearing down the old Rulland building and transferring the land to the Rutland Fire Department for a new firehouse.

I started reading and after some 40 pages realized that murder mysteries fall into one of two camps: The dastardly deed is done immediately, then one meets the suspects: or the cast is mtroduced before the corpse puts in its appearance. As you have gathered, the book r was reading fell into the latter category, but I think it set new standards because no one dil~d until page 193 of217!

But what if the diamonds are 3-0? Who will have the three? . West's lead sup· plies the clue. He has led the · lowest club spot. So you know that West started with exactly four clubs. If he is also void of diamonds, ··he would have a five-card (or longer) major, which he surely would have led in preference to a club. So, only East can be void in diamonds. At trick two, cash the diamond ace. Always read the lead. S\.l CENTS • \'-ll 56Woolbbrlc fright 32 Kind ol rwcldlne Any clues? Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio :~ 2fi Ally's Opeftinalead; • 2.
