L WEEDY'S VIEW: • Transitioningfrom Post-Christian to Anti-Christian The advance of divcrsiry is illustrated in this story related to the Easter season. It seems that a young woman teacher, with obvious liberal tendencies, explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy l)reworks. There is one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has not gone along with th e crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not an. atheist." Then, asks the teacher, what are you? ''I'm a Christian." The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a Christian. "Well, I was brought up knowing and lovingJesus. My mom is a Christian and my dad is a Christian, so .I'm a Christian." The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason;:.she says loudly. "What if your mom was a moron and your dad was a moron, what would you be then?" . A pause, and a smile. 41 Th.e n," said Lucy, "I'd be an atheist." While this is an unlikely discussion in today's classroom, with all the legal restrictions, it is illustrative of ·how · important life decisions are made without inuch thought being given. · Easter is about weighing the evidence. It is not about accepting a grand story in blind faith.lt is not about believing something' because someone else believes. It also is · not about an Easter bunny or Easter egg hunts.

L WEEDY'S VIEW: • Transitioningfrom Post-Christian to Anti-Christian The advance of divcrsiry is illustrated in this story related to the Easter season. It seems that a young woman teacher, with obvious liberal tendencies, explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy l)reworks. There is one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has not gone along with th e crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not an. atheist." Then, asks the teacher, what are you? ''I'm a Christian." The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a Christian. "Well, I was brought up knowing and lovingJesus. My mom is a Christian and my dad is a Christian, so .I'm a Christian." The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason;:.she says loudly. "What if your mom was a moron and your dad was a moron, what would you be then?" . A pause, and a smile. 41 Th.e n," said Lucy, "I'd be an atheist." While this is an unlikely discussion in today's classroom, with all the legal restrictions, it is illustrative of ·how · important life decisions are made without inuch thought being given. · Easter is about weighing the evidence. It is not about accepting a grand story in blind faith.lt is not about believing something' because someone else believes. It also is · not about an Easter bunny or Easter egg hunts. It is also not -something about whjch to argue. Defensiveness is the major result of arguing, with more hear than light being shed. What we believe drastically affects how we live.

Brian Heath of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, who testified friday in the trial of former bank officers, said Keystone Vice President Terry Church and her family cycled millions of dollars through their accounts, and those of other relatives. The amounts were " very large," Heath said. Confusion about the reasons for the transac~ tions was bound to draw attention, he said. Heath testified in US.

"This is not anythi ng that I wou ld expect and so it immediately beca me something I should look at;' Heath said. "These are very large transactions."

"I nevet co unted them, but there were a lot" · Heath said several large deposits and Withdrawals were made to those accounts. There was a deposit of.$500,000, a deposit of Sl million, a withdrawal of $600,000 and another of $990,000, he said.

The Knicks have experience, the best defense in the conference, and they have more offensive weapons than the Heat. These are the reasons they will be playing in June for th!' championship. In the NHL, the Blues have won the Presidents Cup for finishing with the league 's best record. This means they have home court advantage throughout the playoffs. I can't remember the last time St. Louis accomplished that feat . The great irony will be if they meet the defending champion Stars down the road. Former .Blues great Brett Hull left St. Louis last year to pursue his dream of a Stanley Cu p in Dallas. He succeeded; however, his former team has su rpassed all team reoords and achieved the leageu's best record one year after h e . abandoned ship.

The Knicks have experience, the best defense in the conference, and they have more offensive weapons than the Heat. These are the reasons they will be playing in June for th!' championship. In the NHL, the Blues have won the Presidents Cup for finishing with the league 's best record. This means they have home court advantage throughout the playoffs. I can't remember the last time St. Louis accomplished that feat . The great irony will be if they meet the defending champion Stars down the road. Former .Blues great Brett Hull left St. Louis last year to pursue his dream of a Stanley Cu p in Dallas. He succeeded; however, his former team has su rpassed all team reoords and achieved the leageu's best record one year after h e . abandoned ship. There should be some incentive for payback if these rwo teams meet in the Western Conference finals. The Blues were a pleasant surprise in last year's playoffs. This year they are the real thing! Gallia Academy beats Ironton Cover Story 011, Lube, ;Filter Cubs. In · M on~real, however, tlte Expos scored a 2-1 victory over the Padres in the domed Olympic Stadium. In the warmer' climate of Texas, the Rangers . were losing to the Blue Jays 4-0. And in Arizona, the sight of spring training, Randy Johnson pitched a 1-0 shutout against the Pirates. It's amazing how breaking balls will keep batters honest. Still think there wasn't something in the air that ca used these high offensive numbers? .How else do you explain R eds utiliry outfielder Alex Ochoa hitting two home runs in the first week. The NBA playoffs: begin this week. There are only three teams that can win the Eastern Conference: New York, Indiana and Miami. I like the Knicks to come out of the East. Forget all this talk about home court advantage. New York won three se ries last year without the home court. The Knicks are the healthiest they have been all year.

For Eastern, that drama came when freshman Brent Buckley hammered a J.B. Boso fastlpll up the middle for what proved to be the game-winning hit, and sophomore Jimmie Putman set the tornadoes down with the tying run on second as Eastern scored an 8-7 come-from-behind win Thursday. The tale is an unlikely one, both in reality and statistically, yet Southern (3-6, TVC 3-4) mounted the bus in clisbelief. Southern had dominated the game statistically, 14 hits to Eastern's five, and in scoring 7-2 entering the sixth inning. Unlikely was the fact that Eastern would ever come back with only three hits and seven baserunners prior to the sixth inning. Lyons singled home another run, 4-2'. . Southern padded its lead in what loo ked to put the game out of reach. BrandorrWolfe got nis second single, J.B. Boso reached on an error, and Brandon Hill doubled home two runs. Cumings the n knocked home the third run of the frame for a 7-2 tally. Coach Mick Winebrenner se nsed Cumings tiring in the fifth when he left the bases loaded, and JB. Boso was called out of the bullpen to start the sixth. . Boso retired the first two batters, then Josh Bradcrick reac~ed on an error and Ben Holter took the next pitch to downt<;>wn Reedsville, over the left field fence for a home run, the score 7-4. Faulk walked for the fourth time, Josh Will reached on an error, Lyons reached on an error, and Putman brought home a run when he was hit with a pitch to make the score 7-5. With their backs still pressed tightly against the wall, two out, and time waning, Eastern never let Even more unlikely was the fact that Buckley would be the hero, after a slate of three straight strikeouts for the evening. Eastern led early 1-0 on the first .of four Cacy Faulk walks and a Chris Lyons double to left. Southern went up 2-0 when Josh Davis singled and rode home on a two-run Matt Warner home run. Southern added two more runs in the third when Adam Cumings walkcd,Jamie Baker singled, and Cumings scored on a J.P. Harmon single. Baker then cal)le home n a Matt Warner single, but Southern left two runners stranded in scoring position, the score 4-1. In the fifth, Eastern (5-3, TVC 5-3) cut the SHS lead in half. To this point, Southern pitcher Adam Cumings had pitched a great game, twice retiring the side in order and only going three batters over the minimum. Sophomore Ben Holter then roped a shot down the left field line for a double, Faulk walked, and victory out of their sight. Eric Smith walked home a ru'n then Buckley came to the plate. · Bu~kley added to the drama when he fell1-2in the count, then la ced a two-run shot up the rtuddie for an 8-7 EHS lead . Southern made only three errors, but they aU ' came in the Eastern comeback. Putman, a sophomore fire baUer in relief of Josh Will, came on and, afte r giving up a lead-off single_ to Chad Hubbar~. retired the side to secure th e wtn.

For Eastern, that drama came when freshman Brent Buckley hammered a J.B. Boso fastlpll up the middle for what proved to be the game-winning hit, and sophomore Jimmie Putman set the tornadoes down with the tying run on second as Eastern scored an 8-7 come-from-behind win Thursday. The tale is an unlikely one, both in reality and statistically, yet Southern (3-6, TVC 3-4) mounted the bus in clisbelief. Southern had dominated the game statistically, 14 hits to Eastern's five, and in scoring 7-2 entering the sixth inning. Unlikely was the fact that Eastern would ever come back with only three hits and seven baserunners prior to the sixth inning. Lyons singled home another run, 4-2'. . Southern padded its lead in what loo ked to put the game out of reach. BrandorrWolfe got nis second single, J.B. Boso reached on an error, and Brandon Hill doubled home two runs. Cumings the n knocked home the third run of the frame for a 7-2 tally. Coach Mick Winebrenner se nsed Cumings tiring in the fifth when he left the bases loaded, and JB. Boso was called out of the bullpen to start the sixth. . Boso retired the first two batters, then Josh Bradcrick reac~ed on an error and Ben Holter took the next pitch to downt<;>wn Reedsville, over the left field fence for a home run, the score 7-4. Faulk walked for the fourth time, Josh Will reached on an error, Lyons reached on an error, and Putman brought home a run when he was hit with a pitch to make the score 7-5. With their backs still pressed tightly against the wall, two out, and time waning, Eastern never let Even more unlikely was the fact that Buckley would be the hero, after a slate of three straight strikeouts for the evening. Eastern led early 1-0 on the first .of four Cacy Faulk walks and a Chris Lyons double to left. Southern went up 2-0 when Josh Davis singled and rode home on a two-run Matt Warner home run. Southern added two more runs in the third when Adam Cumings walkcd,Jamie Baker singled, and Cumings scored on a J.P. Harmon single. Baker then cal)le home n a Matt Warner single, but Southern left two runners stranded in scoring position, the score 4-1. In the fifth, Eastern (5-3, TVC 5-3) cut the SHS lead in half. To this point, Southern pitcher Adam Cumings had pitched a great game, twice retiring the side in order and only going three batters over the minimum. Sophomore Ben Holter then roped a shot down the left field line for a double, Faulk walked, and victory out of their sight. Eric Smith walked home a ru'n then Buckley came to the plate. · Bu~kley added to the drama when he fell1-2in the count, then la ced a two-run shot up the rtuddie for an 8-7 EHS lead . Southern made only three errors, but they aU ' came in the Eastern comeback. Putman, a sophomore fire baUer in relief of Josh Will, came on and, afte r giving up a lead-off single_ to Chad Hubbar~. retired the side to secure th e wtn.

This often happens when you use a wide-angle lens and angle the camera upward to get the top of the building into the scene. To compensate for this effect, profes1ional archite ctural photographers often use a 35 mm shift lens, at $1,200 and up, or very expensive large-format view cameras. Such an investment would be hard for an amateur to justify. But there 's hope elsewhere (or much less. . Several digital darkroom imaging programs, including, Adobe Photoshop ($600) and Squizz!

Each 194 7 Studebake r is unmistakably a showplace - excitingly different thoroughly postwar. Eve n more thrilling is the way th e new Studebaker handles and rides. It is the only car with "blacklight dash di als, selfadjusting b rakes, unique new wide-visio n• ,window s and windshield!" · In 1947 ,the Studebaker was sold in Gallipolis at H askins Garage located at the corner of Second Avenue and Grape Street. ln later years Tope's Furniture was moved into that building. The b'ui!ding that housed Haskins Garage was built in 1936 by Blazer Wetherholt. In late 1936 or early 1937, Wetherholt opened on that corner a modern Gulf Oil Station . Wetherholt had previously operated Gallipolis' only Gulf station at the end of Court Street . The three story building in back of the Second Avenue and Grape Street garage was built about 1905 by Johri Danner as an addition to the Treasure Stove Works. , Some time during WWII the Wetherholt station was taken · over by Paul Haskins. It was about .t 946 Haskins became the Gallipolis dealer for the Studebaker. The first Gallipolis Studebaker dealer was Frank Rariden. His office was at 201 Third Avenue in the Miller Produ.c e Building. The year was 1916. For many of the early years of several auto agencies, ·p ersons ordered a car from a picture, not from a showroom. After the order was placed the car would arrive a few weeks later by train. In the 1920's Earl Moore and Fran k Raride n operated the first Studebaker ga.rage. It was located at 50 State Street in an old livery ·stable. In .1976 Earl and his bro ther Jake began the Gallipolis Mq to r Company to sell C hevrolets. R ariden then ran the Studebaker garage by himself. Whe n R ariden die d in 1929 the Moores toolt over the Studebaker garage. In the i 930's the Stude bake r dealership in town was owned by John Harrison . In the 1940's and 1950's H askins had Studebakers. In 1947 Studebaker made three b asic models - Champion, The Commander and Land Cruiser. T he low - pric ed Champion ca me in the Deluxe a nd the R egal Deluxe ve-rsions. The latter had stainless steel windshield trim and stainless steel rocker panel moldings, whereas the Deluxe did not. The Commander was Studebaker's top line model in 1947. It took the place ofthe President which had been Studebaker's top line car before the war. Production of the Pres- · ident ceased in 1942. It was brought back in 195S as the President Speedster. In the I 920's Studebaker had been one ofthe top six or seven automobiles in the U.S. By the middle 1950's it had dropped to 18th most popular. In the early 1930's Studebaker P.resident Albert Erskine made a strategic mistake when he based hjs company strategy on the belief that the Great Depression would only last about two years. During the early 1930's, Erskine gave out .big diVilte1fcls instead , of putting profits back into the company. In 1933, Studebaker went into. receivership.

When WWIJ ended, Studebaker was in good position to be successful, and the years 1946-1951 were good years. But when the sellers' market switched to a buyers' market in the early 1950's, Studebaker was left with out of date production facilities and overpriced workers.

It was about .t 946 Haskins became the Gallipolis dealer for the Studebaker. The first Gallipolis Studebaker dealer was Frank Rariden. His office was at 201 Third Avenue in the Miller Produ.c e Building. The year was 1916. For many of the early years of several auto agencies, ·p ersons ordered a car from a picture, not from a showroom. After the order was placed the car would arrive a few weeks later by train. In the 1920's Earl Moore and Fran k Raride n operated the first Studebaker ga.rage. It was located at 50 State Street in an old livery ·stable. In .1976 Earl and his bro ther Jake began the Gallipolis Mq to r Company to sell C hevrolets. R ariden then ran the Studebaker garage by himself. Whe n R ariden die d in 1929 the Moores toolt over the Studebaker garage. In the i 930's the Stude bake r dealership in town was owned by John Harrison . In the 1940's and 1950's H askins had Studebakers. In 1947 Studebaker made three b asic models - Champion, The Commander and Land Cruiser. T he low - pric ed Champion ca me in the Deluxe a nd the R egal Deluxe ve-rsions. The latter had stainless steel windshield trim and stainless steel rocker panel moldings, whereas the Deluxe did not. The Commander was Studebaker's top line model in 1947. It took the place ofthe President which had been Studebaker's top line car before the war. Production of the Pres- · ident ceased in 1942. It was brought back in 195S as the President Speedster. In the I 920's Studebaker had been one ofthe top six or seven automobiles in the U.S. By the middle 1950's it had dropped to 18th most popular. In the early 1930's Studebaker P.resident Albert Erskine made a strategic mistake when he based hjs company strategy on the belief that the Great Depression would only last about two years. During the early 1930's, Erskine gave out .big diVilte1fcls instead , of putting profits back into the company. In 1933, Studebaker went into. receivership. Two months later Erskine.committed suicide. illlul Hoffman · and .'

They spearheaded the introduction of the popular Coinma,nder line in 1938, and they stopped produ <;tion of the huge engine President. In 1933, most Presidents had 337 cubic inch engines. When WWIJ ended, Studebaker was in good position to be successful, and the years 1946-1951 were good years. But when the sellers' market switched to a buyers' market in the early 1950's, Studebaker was left with out of date production facilities and overpriced workers.

Swarming termites around woodpiles and other outdoor wood sources is rather common this time of the year. Homeowners should not be cohcerned un!'ess winged termites are found inside the house. Even then, winged carpenter ants are often mistaken for termites. Homeowners can tell the difference between the two insects by inspecting the -body and wings of the pest. The body of a winged carpenter ant will resemble that of a common ant, with pinched segments at the abdomen. A termite's body will be straight, with no noticeable segments. In addition, a winged carpenter ant has two pair of wings; however, the wing length is the same for each pair. In addition, termite wings will be longer than the body, while ant wings are limited to the length of the body of the ant.

Swarming termites around woodpiles and other outdoor wood sources is rather common this time of the year. Homeowners should not be cohcerned un!'ess winged termites are found inside the house. Even then, winged carpenter ants are often mistaken for termites. Homeowners can tell the difference between the two insects by inspecting the -body and wings of the pest. The body of a winged carpenter ant will resemble that of a common ant, with pinched segments at the abdomen. A termite's body will be straight, with no noticeable segments. In addition, a winged carpenter ant has two pair of wings; however, the wing length is the same for each pair. In addition, termite wings will be longer than the body, while ant wings are limited to the length of the body of the ant.
