Those communities may still appeal the PUCO's decision to the Ohio Supreme Court. However, future legal action is not expected to further delay implementation of the new 740 area code. Ameritech is expected to submit the Commission's revised plan to :the national numbering plan administrator. . All southeastern Ohio phone exchanges officially become part of the 740 area code on December 6, but those dialing 614 to reach the area will still have their calls connected until June ~ 1998. At that point, persons dialing 614 in the new 740 area will · receive a recording stating that the area code has been changed. Unprecedented growth in the telecommunications industry is responsible for the 614 area code split.

KNUTSON Associated Preas Writer WASHINGTON - President Clinton signed a law Friday giving the Food and Drug Administration new powers to speed the approval of drugs to combat a host of killer discases including cancer and AIDS. Some critics have argued that the law will expose patients to risky med, icine for the benefit of the makers of experimental drugs and new devices. .But Clinton said, "The FDA has always set the gold standard for protecting the public safety." "Today, it wins the gold medal for leading the way into the future," he said at the bill-signing ceremony in . the Old Executive Office Building next to the White House. A hard-fought compromise, the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 took three years to hammer out. Many of iis provisions have been put into effect administratively through Vice President AI Gore's "reinvent· ing government" programs. "We know that for many patients, experimental treatments represent their best - perhaps their only chance for recovery," Clinton said. ''That's why this bill writes into law current FDA policies that allow doctors and patients to use new drugs By ODIE O'boNNELL T-8 CorNapondent before they are fonnally approved." "Already thousands of AIDS, cancer, and Alzheimer's patients have found new hope -even new lifewith these experimental therapies," he said. . Gore added: "This fall alone, the FDA has approved> new drugs and treatments for everything from HIV to breast cancer, cardiovascular dis· ease to cystic fibrosis, Parkinson '.s to epilepsy." Clinton said he first became interested in the issue during his 1992 campaign when he heard complaints that the FDA drug approval system was "too slow and somewhat arbitrary and not giving the American people the drug approvals and the medical-device approvals in a timely fashion." Clinton alli~s applauded the new law.

HEAP GALLIPOLIS -At the monthly meeting of the Oallia County Junior Fair Board of Directors .on Thursday, the members heard from representatives of the Gallipolis Volunteer Fire Department, the Gallipolis Soccer Association, .and issued a statement on the use of public funds for fairgrounds improvements over the past two years. A trio of firefighters composed of Chief Jim EUtsler, Jeff Donn ally and David Scouten requested a guided tour of all fairgrounds buildings and facilities prior to the opening of the 1998 exposition to familiarize all fire personnel with the layout. Eutsler said it was the goal of his department to fully cooperate with the fair board to ensure the safety and protection of both fairgoers and structures. Kevin Plantz; Tom Lyon and Brett Anderson of the Gallipolis Soccer Association presented questions · about personal injury insurance to any soccer team using the fairgrounds for practice and conditioning in 1998. They explained that all players arc insured and requested the board's policy on use of the grounds by their athletes in O(d~r to prevent a poten- tial injury lawsuit. It was agreed that prior to the 1998 season, a contract would be drawn up between the two organizations 'that would eliminate the board from liability for any injury sustained by an athlete while taking part in GSA events ori the grounds. The board addressed, through President Mike McCalla and Treasurer Skip Meadows, a letter to the editor published in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune on Friday, Nov. 14 on mooey spent on fairgrounds up~rades and improvements since 1995. McCalla said that it has been traditiona\ for the Gallia County Commissioners to include the sum of $10,000 in the annual budget for use by the fairboard. When Producers Livestock Association announced plans for a weekly ·livestock sale facility in Gallia County, it selected a site at the rear of the fairgrounds to erect the new building and a parking l(lt.

On thi s same date. in the fog·shrouded bottom land along the Ohio River at Portland. Meigs County, Ohio, another battle of the Civil War was also taking place . [I was here that General John Hunt Mor· gan's Confederate Cavalry of about 2,000 met the combi~ed forces of near· ly 10,000 Union Army and Na• y troops. Two future preSidents, Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley were among the Union troops. When the Battle of Buffington Island ended , General Morgan had suffered the loss of more than 700 men , many who were captured . But. written reports tell us there may have been 100 or more who lay dead upon the fields where they fell -- men, many whom it is believed, lie in an unmarked mass grave still there, somewhere on the battlefield . The Union casualties were not as severe, although Union troops were also lost. It was during the first encounter of the battle that Major· Daniel McCook was wounded and succumbed to his wounds a few day s later. General Morgan escaped with the remainder of his troops and was captured on July 6, 1863 at New Lisbon : Columbiana County, Ohio. He was imprisoned in the Ohio State Peniten• tiary, from which he escaped on Nov. 7,' I863. Most of the men captured at : Portland were sent to the prison at Johnson Island on Lake Erie. Now. 134 years after the battle, another battle is raging over the Buffington Island Civil War Battlefield (so named because General Morgan was try- ing to cross the ford at Buffington Island). This battle is between prescrva• tionists who want to save this hallowed ground and a gravel company who ; want to mine gravel on it. Ironically, the Johnson Island prison· site has ! already been lost to stone quarryinj!. . · : We must remember that history is only now beginning to recognize the · significance of this battle as it relates to the defeat of the Confederates at Gettysburg less than a monlh before, and the eventual end of the war. Had , this battle not occurred, Morgan would have crossed the Ohio River and · declared his raid into the northern states a success. But, with his defeat, : never again did the Confederate troops penetrate the northern states. The Morgan's Raid was the longest of the Civil War, having traveled across the ; state of Kentucky, into Indiana. then across the State ofOhio. There is also another concern about the land at Portland, because 8,000 : '·' years of p<ehi_.., "'-Y will &lao babl ..... lba Poctlapd bouom Ianda :· arc gone. We might say it is ironic that there are 8,000 years of history in 1 . those bottoms, but one day in history is what hu caused the tight to save it. :: And we must stress, this is not indifference to those 8,000 years of history, : but instead tru.'t childlike quality in us J:!umans which take for granted things : will ·always be the same. · • We had every reason to believe this, as State Routes 338. and 124 in Meigs County were listed on state maps as Ohio's Scenic Routes. Surely, an area that can rival the beauty of the Shenandoah River Valley would always remain in a pristine state . The State of Ohio would indeed sec that it was pro' tectcd. But, this again wa.< childlike thinking. A drive along much of State ; Route 338 shows the devastation of gravel mining and now in the Reedsville : area on State Route 124. gravel mining is destroying the beauty of that farm : land, farmland, which Ohio is fa.<t running out of' Meigs County has always · been an agricultural county and the Ohio River bottoms arc some of the richest producing lands in the eastern United States. However, take a drive along the Ohio River, where have all the farms gone'' This land cannot be · reclaimed like the strip mined land from coal niining. These pits reach into : the bowels of the earth and take everything good out. We don't need lakes : Meigs County has more miles of the Ohio River along its shores than any : other county. We need farmland to produce food and this can continue to : happen in the Portland area, just as it has for cons. Farming the land in that · area will create jobs - lasting jobs, not just jobs that will be gone as soon ._, the gravel is gone. Farming also generates taxes, but the wasteland left from gravel mining produces no income. It is time we begin to look forward to the future and preserve some of our · heritage for future generations.

Not so with contemporary American conservatism. Right·wingers, just entering their moment in history, have almost nothing good to say about· each other, so they 've bucked up their spirits by penning odes to Ronald Reagan. Long hosannas have appeared in such places as Forbes, National Review and The Weekly Standard. Bored columnists have repeated the mantra. The gist is that Reagan made possible everything good and decent in America today, from the strength of the economy to the outbreak of relative peace around the globe, and that his successors got lucky because they were able to travel in his wake. To his credit, Reagan never made such boasts. I know for a fact that he let others take the bows for speeches made great only through his editing skill , and he was content throughout his public life to let minions race to the micro, phones and claim they were responsible for achievements that rightfully were his. A little dol· lop of kindness Snow goes a long way in this affection-starved town, and Reagan's public selflessness helped h1m umte the three unhappy factions of the GOP -- economic conservatives, religious activists and palri· cian snobs. He tamped down their enmities by presenting an agenda that was practical and popular< cut taxes, restrain government. growth and beat the commies. These promises provided the skeleton of a discernible agenda. One could predict in advance what Reagan would do on any given issue : no focu~ groups, no poll-driven shifts, no triangulation. Ironically, agenda-free righiwinge" now want to cash in on Rea- gan 's legacy. 1ltere's a tremendous squabble on the right to claim Reagan as a forefather, and it consumes everybody from Christine Todd Whitman to Pat Buchanan. Yet, as if to .expose the folly of lhe exercise, someone .recently released a video of the ex-president making his way into the office. The tape exposes the inheritance feud as not merely unlovely, but cruel. Time and Alzheimer's have erased the old Reagan. Only a shadow remains. The ex-president's hair has greyed. He has added a few pounds. He shuffies when he walks. stooping forwand . The video depicts a man oblivious to the attention around him, who moves not out of purpose, but trust. Friends doubt he remembers he once was president, or that he presided over the conquest of communism. These days, he goes where he is told, sweetly clutehi'ng the hands of those who lead him. · Talk about a ghastly basis for comparison! Today's inert rightwingcrs have more 'in common with today's Reagan than yesterday 's. If So f~~~~~~~~~~~~~~l:~rn~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Do.o. . . . . . ~. ..~ .....,....,... "'"'NM.........

Reagan ' bridged the chasm between social conservatives and libertarians by constructing a hierarchy of values with freedom at the pinnacle. These days, Rcpuhlicans bicker about "culture" and "values. ~' as if either were a fit subject for government action. But no sane society would let lawmakers define and en Ioree virtue. That chore is more properly reserved for the general public, which in its daily affairs is far more likely to produce a sensible and nuanced definition of "goodness." Reagan· also trusted people like no other president this century. He made that clear in his final public addres~: "My fellow citizens ... I want you to know that I have always , had the highest respect for you, for your common sense and intelligence, and for your decency. ... I hope (history) will reco,q that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears, to your confidence rather than your doubls." Unlike the growing band of conservatives who see the path to national greatness as paved with high moral sentence and taxpayer . money, Reagan refused to preach. He knew there is nothing more dan gerous than a self-siylcd holy man with an army at his disposal. Any zeal-tilled president -- conservative or liheral -- has tho potential to become an ayatollah. A government devoted to freedom thus must stick witlr mundane stuff-- from building roads to preserving peace -- and leave the moralizing to you and me.

She rents an apanment off campus at Ohio University and drives a used Jeep. But the living is easy, and she 's enjoying her time in thi s college town .in southeast Ohio. "Life is about having fun and being happy," said Wood, n. ''I'm happy." Things are going well for the former high school waitfi'SS who made headlines nationwide five years ago when she inherited an estate wonh nearly $500,000 from a customer, an old man who befriended her. She has invested in the stock m·arket and is making enough money to live off the earnings, which also arc paying for her college education. She said she has all of the principal she inherited - "and more." In 1992, Wood was 17 and work· ing at Dink's Colonial Restaurant in her hometown of Chagrin Falls. about 15 miles east of Cleveland. She was bright, friendly and helpful - a good employee . One customer. Bill Cruxton, took a liking to her so much that he always sat in her section. A widower past SO with no children, he went to the restaurant daily for his meals and some company. Cruxton's intention to be benevolent in his death was no secret at the restaurant. He previously had willed his estate to another waitress but took . her out of it for reasons not fully explained. Some say Cruxton didn 't like her boyfriend: others say the two simply lost toucfl when she left her job. Now there was Wood, a high school soccer star who worked after school and during the summer. She was competitive, outgoing and assertiv~. He was opinionated and at times overbearing. Sometimes, the two personalities clashed. But they became friends. He told her she reminded him of his wife, Gertrude, who died three years earlier.

Wood turned to the stock market. She says she has done well primarily because the market has · been so strong for several years. . But she has business se nse, which she is sharpening in college hy majoring in market ing and fin ance. Now a senior, she has a 3.5 grade- point average . She already is a hccnsed hrokcr and in surance agent - an impressiVe accomplishment for anyone still in school. said Glenn Corlett . dean of the College of Business . "The first time I met her. I thought she was a workmg professional. " Corlett said. "I wa.< nahberg astcd to learn that she's a student. " Wood is getting experience by working at Margaret Topping Financial Services Inc .• a local investment. insurance and brokerage services company. durin g school breaks. She · plans to continue working there after graduation .' Topping would gladly have her. "She's very good with people, she's very ethical. and she's very quick at picking up things," Topping said. "Cara is first -class." Cru.ton would approve of how Wood is managing the money he left her. Topping said. "She's handling it very well . He would have been plca.<ed with her." In addition to her market investments, Wond owns real estate CruX ton 's two-bcdmom ranch in Moreland Hills. 56K INTERNET ACCESS •Reliable service •Dedicated customer support And Now •56K Internet Access ........,,_..,...,...... -G reat Appliances · ~ ~ ~ ~ In nddition to being his regular waitress, she helped him around the house and ran erraods for him .

And she cared for him as a friend. Wood became so important to Cru•ton that he rewrote his will, making her the main llcncficiary. It would not be rewritten again.

Ms. Wood had to ·pay upwards of $100.000 in legal fee s. Wood's mother, Gl enna Snider. said the inheritance was a "blessing" bestowed upon her daughter somewhat by chance. A~ she sees it, her daughter just happened to be the waitress who Cruxton liked at the time. Cruxton, Ms. Snider said, was a bit fickle. But she is grateful to Cruxton . "The .gentleman gave her a tremendous boost on Iife. I told her. you always have to remember where it came from. " Ms. Snider said . Wood understands she has much to be thankful for.

Reed. president of The Fanners Bank & Savings Co .• Pomeroy. For the first eleven monlhs of lhe 1997 campaign (October 1996August. 1997), Meigs County bond sales were $201,248, Reed reported. The campaign encourages county residents to buy U.S. Savings Bonds through the payroll savings plan where they work, and through appli· cation initiated at local financial insli!Uiions. Reed has been serving as volun· leer chair of the Meigs County Savings Borids Campaign since October 1'191. Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin announced last April a number of steps being taken to make savings bonds more attractive investments for American savers. In the past, the rates on savings bonds were calculated every six months based on market rates on outstanding Treasury sec urities. Effective ¥•Y I, those calculations will be done differently, in three important ways. First, the market rates on which savings bond rate are calculated will be long-term rates, rather than the current combination of a short-term and a long-term rate . Se~ond , the percentage of market rates that will be. paid on savings bonds will increase from 85 to 90 percent. Third, interest on savings bonds will accrue monthly, instead ofevery six months. This will eliminate lhe problem of an investor losina up to live months of interest by a redeeming savings bond at lhe wrong time. To encourage longer term holdinas of savings bonds, however, !here will be a three month interest penalty if a savings bond is redeemed within the first five years of iu issuance. 'Treasury Secretary Rubin's announcement is •great news for savers. The Improvements should have a positive impact on our county Savings Bond sales," Reed said. The rate for Series EE savings bonds issued on or after May I, 1997, that enter semiannual earnings peri· ods from November 1997 through April 1998 is 5.59 percent. I corporations can get away with paying a lower yield on new debt issues. All of which might add up to more commerce among U.S. consumers and businesses- some home-grown fuel for a U.S. economy seen as vulnerable to weakening demand for its exports from troubled nations in Asia and Latin America. Lower rates "provide a decent amount of stimulus for the economy. " said Charles White, portfolio manager at Avatar Associates, noting that falling mortgage rates have like· ly helped produce the strong home sales seen in recent reports. ''Home sales are a good driver of the economy." he added, notin·g that they can boost demand for building supplies and home furnishings. On the flip side. however, falling bond yields usually .reflect a lowin nation environment that makes a fix.ed-income investment an acceptable alternative to stocks. And while the latest .readings on prices have shown little sign of trouble, a strong economy. can spur inflationary pressures. For now, it's unclear whether that innation backdrop is encouraging · enough to help the bond market sustain its gains as investors toe their way back into the choppy. tide or the stock market. For those analysts who sec the economic woes abroad creating only a mild drag on the U.S. economy. the bond market looks slightly vulnerable.

"I think yields are too low. The economy is absolutely doing well," said Canelo. " If the long-.bond yeild gets under 6 percent, it will be for a day. The prudent investor should be selling bonds." Robert Froehlich, chief invest· ment strategist for Chicago-based Kemper Funds, agrees that the longbond "got a turbo-charge" from recent events overseas. "Maybe the yield should be at 6.25 percent. It could have to give some back," said Froehlich. But, he . said, current economic conditions justify a strong bond market. "It's not about a flight to quality from Asia. It's about low inflation and low· deficits," Froehlich said, referring to the shrinking federal debt. which ,deplete; the supply of high-quality government bonds on the market.

Daily Variety, 1/ 27/9S; Wall Street journal, 3/30/95; AP, 6/29/95; New•week, 2/20/95 • Disney hired Victor Salva, a convicted child molester, to direct its movie Powder. When Salva's victim, Nathan Winters (now 20), publicized the hiring, some of the police offic- ers who investigated the 1987 molestation were incredulous that Salva was working again as a movie director. "It just blows me away," one police officer investigating the case said . "He has serious signs of being a pedophile." Responding to Winter's demand that Disney fire Salva, Disney's john Dreyer said, "What's the point other than you want to make headlines?" Washington Times, 10125/95 • During the first weekend in june for the past seven years at the Orlando, Florida, theme park, Disney hosts a huge homosexual celebration cjilled "Gay Day at the Magic King· dom that Walt Built." Patrons, including many families, have no prior warning that the event is taking place. Homosexuals are easily identified by wearing red T-shirts and allowed to flaunt their sexuality. In a cartoon, homosexual organizers portrayed Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck as homosexual lovers; and Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck as lesbians. Disney has not publicly objected.

That night to safety that has created the most stimulative lending environment this country has enjoyed in nearly two years. But now that things seem to be seuling down - on Wall Street. at least - the question is whether the flow of money back into· U.S. stocks will drain away the bond market's gains. With demand for U.S. government securities soaring, rising bond prices pushed the yield on the 30-ycar Treasury as low as 6.01 percent in recent days - down from about 6.40 percent before the global financial scare took hold in late October. It finishing the week at 6.03 percent The laSI time the long-bond yield was below 6 percent was early 1996. Before that, it was the fall of 1993. Both times, the yield held below 6 percent for barely an eye blink. Naturally, falling bond yields sound unfortunate for those seeking an anractivc return on a safe invest· ment. But because bfinks and other lenders usc the latest Treasury yields as a benchmark to determine what interest rates they'll charge on various types of loans. the long bond's flirtation with 6 percent means lower borrowing costs for consumers and small businesses.

The game featured the nation's top two defenses, and there was only 441 yards of total offense. just 189 by Michigan . It was Woodson's heroics that made the difference. Unlll the final eight minutes of the first half, the teams did nothing more than trade hard hits and punts, with the Wolverines punting on their first five possessions. Not even defensive end Glen Steele's l.! fuMble . ~ reeov.er.y of Jackson's fumble at the Michigan 42 could wake up the Wolverines' offense. Enter Woodson, college football's most exciting player. On third-and-12 at the Michigan 47, Woodson lined up between two other rccei vcrs, faked out cornerback Ahmed Plummer and cut to the middle. where Brian Griese's pass was waiting at the Buckeyes 35. He got as far as the 16 before he was tripped up from behind by cornerback Antomc Winiicld. Fullback Chris Floyd dragged two Buckeyes with him for a 15yard gatn on the next play and Thomas scored to put Michigan ahead 7-0 with 6:22 left in the half. But Woodson was just warming up. Ohio State was forced to punt after three plays and Brent Bartholomew kicked a 55-yard beauty tl]at was fielded by Woodson at the 22. He moved left, shook off a would-be tackle by hnebacker Jerry Rudzinski and broke into the clear along the left sideline, outracing the Buckeyes for his 78-yard punt return. He was smothered by several teammates in the end zone, and •nlike Desmond Howard did on a 93-yard punt return against Ohio State in 1991, Woodson d1d not strike a Hcisman I)Ose.

The Jumhuriya, a government daily, said Iraq triumphed in the standoff. "The trap set for Iraq by America has turned into a graveyard for the American position," Jumhuriya said in an editorial. "There is almost a total concerted stand that Iraq has emerged vtctorious on the local, regional and intemationallevcl. wh1lc the .United States faced a bitter political defeat," the paper added. Iraq ordered the expulsion of six American inspectors on Oct. 29. The order was carried out Nov. !3, leading the United Nations to withdraw the other 68 non-American mspcctors in protest. The U.N. inspectors had left behind seven monitors to staff the Baghdad headquarters and an eight-member Chilean helicopter crew.

"Owners don't give coaches time . So coaches don't give quarterbacks time. "There is a wave of mediocrity, of parity in which quarterbacks aren't able to function .

The game, however, was another step forward for the program. The players finally realized the values that Coach Scott Morrissey and assistant Tbny Daniels have tried to instill in them all year.

Last year, the Redmcn were defeated in the regional semifinals. This year 'they lost 'in the finals. If all goes acoording to this logic, they may make that ·trip to the finals in Alabama next year.

More impor-. :tantly, they now have something to prove. : If the Redmen would approach every game with the sarne intensity that -they showed during the MOC playoffs and regional finals, they would have :been untouchable during the season. You can't take any opponent for grant;ed. Making the national finals is incredibly difficult on any level.

The divi sion bought the Castilia Trout Farm s Hatchery in Erie County for $1.35 million. The ' wildlife agency said it plans to make repairs and improve the hatchery, but must first remove all exist. ing ftsh stocks. - 'The trout, which measure I0 to 12 inches, will be released starting Monday. The hatchery covers about 90 acres in Margaretta Township, five miles southwest of Sandusky. The hatchery has two sources of natural cold water. the prime ingredient for rai sing trout. The division said adding Castilia Fanns to the state's fish producers should increase hatchery space for trout and steel bead and create more space at other hatcheries for other gamefish species. Currently, about 200,000 steelhead trout arc raised annually for release into Lake Erie . Another 40,000 'rainbow/golden trout are released in a number of Ohio's inland lakes during the spring for put-and-take tisheries.

PAWHUSKA, Okla . (AP) The dccrOics were biting and the summer sun burned hot on· the vast northern Oklahoma prairie as two rescarc~crs waited, .hoping to catch a bird, an.y ordinary songbird. They had strung what resembled badminton nets amid the dewsoaked grasses and wildflowers. But the morning was slipping by. and still no birds were entangled in the gentle mesh. A grasshopper sparrow broke the quiet: "Tup-tup zzzz . Tup-tup zzzz." A bre.eze fluttered the nets, and nothing more. The two men fanned away the flies and kept waiting. No one knows exactly why many once-abundant grassland birds are now hard to .find. After five summers of patient study on the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, the Sutton Avian Research Center is developing one of the most comprehensive looks yet at what might be done to halt the dwindling numbers. ' 'We get a lot of calls from people who say 'Where are the meadowlarks? Where are the scissortail flycatchers?'" said Dan Reinking, a biologist at the Bartlesville center. "Many people arc noticing a decline in songbirds," he added. The center upects to begin producing scientific papers on its findings by year's end. The study, the nation's largest on migratory grassland species. began in 1992 and includes observations from 5,000 nests and 4,500 banded birds. Tracking the songsters has been a matter bf careful observation and patient waiting. On one summer excursion, the wait ends when a brown thrasher finds its flight cut' shon by the mist net. Reinking emerges with the bird squawking indignantly in his hands. The biologist expenly tucks its beak, under one finger. blows back the head .feathers and looks for changes in the skull that indicate the bird's age. The biologist also notes the sex of the bird and other characteristics, checks for wing wear and bands it for future tracking. Combined with nest observations, the infonnation tells researchers how well ecnain species arc reproducing and surviving- the prime indicators of whether bird populations are going up or down. · Most of these songbirds are ncither specifically threatepcd nor endangered; in that way. this project is unlike Sutton ' s previous work in helping to restore the bald eagle. Getting the public to understand why they should care isn't easy, Reinking acknowledges. "It's much easier when you have something like the national symbol about to be wiped out than it is to get them interested in grasshopper spar- rows and eastern meadowlarks.·· Reinking said. Conservationi sts have hecn sounding alarms for decades about the decline in songbird populations. Oklahoma has about one-half of the Bell 's vireo population it had in · 1965 and JO% of the orchard orioles of 25 years ago . Meadowlark and bobwhite quail have shown national declines of close to 2% a year, said Mark Howery ()f the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast - including 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. The feast lasted three days. Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl. · Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first · feast included that treat. The supply of flour had heen long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their com crop. There was also no milk, cheese, cider, or butter. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums. This first "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. In fact, it wasn't until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed. On June 20, 1676, the governing council of, Charlestown, Massachusetts, )leld a meeting to determine how best to express thanks for the good fortune that had seen their community securely established. By unanimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving. October of 1777 marked the fir.;t time that all 13 colonies joined in a thanksgiving celebration. It also commemorated the patriotic victory over the British at . Saratoga. But it was a one-time affair. George Washington wanted to proclaim a National . Day of Thanksgiving in 17S9, but discord among the colonies prevented it. Many felt the hardships of a few Pilgrims did not warrant a national holiday. And later, President Thomas Jefferson scoffed at the idea of hav- · ing a day of lhanksgiving. It was Sarah Josepha Hale, a magazine editor, whose efforts eventually led to what we recognize as : Thanksgiving. Hale wrote many _ed~torials championing her cause in her Boston Ladtes Magazme, and later, in Godey's Lady's Book. Finally, after a 40-year campaign of writing editorials and letters to governors and presidents, Hale's · obsession became a reality when, in 1863, President . Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as : a national day of Thanksgiving. Since then, the date was changed only once, by Franklin Roosevelt, who set it up one week to the third Thursday in order to create a longer Christmas shopping season. Public uproar against this decision caused the president to move Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later. . .

The picture accompanying today's anicle is the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry Band. This band, which also played in Gallipolis on several occasions during the Civil War, consisted of 15 musicians. The 23rd band was also all brass. The bands played in Gallipolis and surrounding towns for several recruitment rallies held in the late summer and early fall of 1861. Most ofthe rallies followed' a similar format. There would be religious songs, patriotic songs, band rium· hers. patriotic speeches. a bounty call, and the call for volunteers.

I can't speak from experience on anything except the walks. but the walks sparkle both in organizational merit and locations selected. While walkers do not have to be a member to participate, members have the added bonus of receiving newsletters on upcoming walks and activities. To give examples of what to expeci on a Volksmarch, our first experience was in Colorado. It was held on propeny surrounding a desen museum east of Denver. The day was chilly and a light wind was blowing tumbleweeds and causing the sagebrush to quiver. We checked in at the stoning point of the IOK (little over six miles) walk ~nd donned gloves and hats. Walking the ·marked course, we soon forgo~ tl)e cool weather and warmed to the exercise and excitement. Wild antelope ran for cover, tlnly to S\OP and stare back at us.

"Perhaps in cynical times when people don't have this massive faith in government," Haimes says, "we're looking back to a time when government did something truly heroic and meaningful." We are a varied people in search of our common roots: "We understand we're a diverse people, and we're stronger because of it," says James Kirby Martin, author of "Benedict Arnold, Revolutionary Hero: An American Warrior Recon·sidered." "But whtt ,Values ar~ at ou~ core? :these are spelled out m a senes of Ideals defined dunng the - Rev!;)lution." We are a shared culture- visual, emotional, intuitive- ih search of a time that was as intellectual as it was visceral: w~en the pen was indeed often m1ghller than the sword. "The American Revolution as a war lasted eight years and contained only nine major battles," says · Catherine Allan, executive producer of"Liberty!""Therealbattleground was the ~attleground of ideas." . And 1deas, observers say - d1sseminated not in sound-bytes and MTV images but in essays and oration- are in s~on supply today. "What you look for in the past is difference," Maier says. "Difference always tells you something about yourself." ...~-~ , .... What is different.about this reappearance of the American Revolu· tion is that it is less celebratory and more thoughtful than the bicentennials of the Declaration of lndependeuce (1976) and the Constitution (1989), Maier says. "There's a new realism about our past," Martin adds, "that in many ways was forced upon us by our realization that we left women, left all sorts of minority groups, out of our unde!Siandiqg of our cxperieni:es." This inehtdi!S a recognition of the reluctance and ambivalence with which the colonies revolted against England. In "1776" and "Libeny!" that pain is conveyed in the person of John Dickinson, a Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress, who reminds his fellow colonists of the England that gave them the Magna Cana and Shakespeare. The passionate conflict that arose between those who wished to remain loyal to Englan nd those who wanted to sever famil ies led to fierce partisan fighting in laces such as Westchester County and New Jersey, says John Buchanan, author of "The Road to Guilford Courthouse: The American Revolu· tion In The Carolinas." Perhaps nowhere was that fighting more down-and-diny, he says, than in the South, where the Revolution became a civil war- what the Germans call a "bruderskrieg" ("brother's war"). There, colonial roughnecks waged a guerilla-style war on well-to-do Loyalists and on the British, who held cities such as Charleston but never seemed to gain ground. "It .was a rough back-country society once you got away.from the seacoast," Buchanan says. "Living was very crude." The reexamination of the American Revolution points up tho mill· J)erception, observers say, of thlillcing America became a violent country only in the 20th century. In "Liberty! ", there are chilling descriptions of rebels tarring and feathering loyalists so that the flesh came off their backs in chunks. One of the most poignant moments in this series comes at the climactic baltle at Yorktown, Va. (1781), in which the British turned loose the American slaves they had enlisted in their cause and left them to die in the cross-fire.

Recent outbreaks of foodbome illnesses caused by microbes such as E. coli and salmonella have heightened public awareness of food safety. And consumer advocates say because many people .now prepare big feasts only on holidays such as Thanksgiving, they are less familiar with safe practices. "This means many common·sense precautions aren't so commonsense anymore for our holiday chefs," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, director of food safety at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "Preparing your holiday banquet shouldn't be a high-risk activity." 1\ukey, like chicken, can he contaminated with salmonella and campylobacteria, organisms that can sicken or even kill people.

Salmonella multiply rapidly in warmer environments. Allow 24 hours of defrosting time for each 5 pounds of turkey. Turkey can be defrosted in cold water, but it should be wrapped in leakproof plastic and the water changed every 30 minutes. fresh turkeys should be bought one or two days before cooking. 1 • -Don't let the raw turkey touch other foods. To avoid contamina· lion, thoroughly wash everything i! comes in contact with, including hands. -Use a meat thermometer and cook the turkey until it reaches 170 degrees in the breast and 180 degrees in the thigh to ensure all bacteria are killed. -Leftover turkey should be refrigerated or frozen within two hours and consumed within four days. "It's really very simple to serve your family a wholesome meal," said Turkey Federation spokeswoman Julie De Young. The E. coli outbreak that sickened 16 people in Colorado and led to this summer's record recall of 25 million pounds of ground beef occurred in part because tainted hamburgers were incompletely cooked. Stuffing, another holiday staple, can also become contaminated if it is prepared inside the bird and insufficiently heated. A recent outbreak of salmonella poisoning that killed two people and sickened 750 in Maryland was .traced to ham and turkey stuffing served at a church dinner. One way to avoid that possibility is to cook the stuffing on the stove and place it inside the turkey once the bird is done . Those who insist on stuffing cooked from th.e beginning inside the turkey must ensure that its temperature reaches 165 degrees at the center. As for traditional fall and winter drinks, most cider purchased in stores is pasteurized and poses no threat. But cider bought at roadside stands sometimes is not, and authorities have identified three recent cases of cider-caused E. coli illnesses. Homemade egg nog can be tainted with salmonella because raw eggs frequently contain the bacteria. In each case, DeWaal recommended the drinks be heated to at least 160 degrees. Afterwards, they can be served safely hot or cold. People have been known to put rum or some other alcoholic drink in eggnog, but that doesn 't make it safe. "There is no evidence that alcohol kills bacteria,' ' DeWaal said. Tobacco growers continue tradition of excellence m.

By JENNIFER BYRNES GALLIPOLIS - Tomorrow, on November 24, growers from Ohio's tobacco producing counties will travelto the tobacco warehouse of their choice to .attend the opening day of the tobacco market. Some will see their tol\acco sold, others will just observe the prices and events of the day. Even though their business intentions may be different, these growers will all enjoy the professional, social, and traditional spirit of pride in tobacco. This long-standing tradition and way of life is as promi· nent as the economic impacts of the crop. When tobacco was finit gifted to Christopher Columbus by the lndi· ans in 1492, he allegedly discarded the leaves, but eventually returned to Europe with samples and knowledge of its smoking properties.In 1612 as the New World search for precious metals failed, ~truggling early colonist; John Rolfe planted seeds of a mild variety that" had been taken from West India." From this point, history resources·document how tobacco revenue laid the foundation for the nation'S economic existence. For' years to come in the new nation,· "tobacco notes" were used as currency and tobacco was traded for · meals, salaries, taxes, imported goods and all sons of services. In 1750, Captain Christopher Gist discovered tobacco grown by a tribe of Indians near Portsmouth, Ohio. !loot! after, · the settlers in what is now South· e.astern .Ohio bt;gan their own tobac· co production.

With t~e apprehension about a possible settlement, now is a good time to remember and appreciate the Ira· dition of tobacco and it's impact on the natiot\'s economic development as well as it's significant role in settling this nation.

Just as a new business needs a business plan, before a per· son can begin to make informed decisions about specific investments he or she needs to have a clear idea of what they want. to accomplish . This requires discipline. However, avoiding the step will almost cer· tainly mean that the investor will lack the strength of conviction need· ed to pursue his course later, when circumstances arise to cast doubts on what he is doing . Fundamentally, developing your personal investment objectives is a two step process. · First, an investor should make an honest effon at determining his or her future financial needs. Will he or she be purchasing a house in coming years~ Is he or she saving to pay for a college education any time soon? A person approaching retirement, with his ()orne mortgage paid off, his children educated, and a comfonable retirement income awaiting him will have entirely differ· Caldwell ent financial goals than a young couple still in their child-raising years. Bei~g I00 per· cent accurate is not the aim of this exercise. It is intended make the investor aware of the extent of financial obligations that must be attended to and prudently planned for at some point on the horizon. The second step in understanding one's investment objectives is to make an honest assessment of one's risk tolerance . How much can you afford to do without, even temporarily, and how much time so you have to recover? Time is the great elixir for a successful investment program. All investment programs are long term, despite the current fixation with short term results. The great advantage the young person has over the financially-comfonable older person approaching retirement is time . Whether it is time to ride out a poor investment period, or time to put together a nest-egg for the future, the clear advantage lies with the longer investing period. Differ· cnt goals and financial circum ~ stances require different investment strategies, but the time horizon is almosl alwayS the main factor in choosing when and how to invest your money. It is well documented ·that over long periods stocks return more than bonds, treasury bills, or money-mar; ket funds . But over the short term; stocks are more volatile than bonds and money funds. An investor may find that his greatest need presently is·to have an emergency fund avail" able for possible medical treatments. Another might discover that he or she can live comfortably on his present income and have excess cash available beyond foreseeable needs. A program of investing in stocks may he inappropriate for the former but just the right ticket for the latter. The choices become clear only afte( personal examination of goals and objectives. Your investment profes; slonal can help you get staned on the right track.

The wire leads of some battery packs (like those in older cordless phones) are soldered to the appliance circuitry, but they are increasingly less common. Although nicads can be recharged up to I ,000 times before they wear out, undercharging shortens their life. Before using a new cordless unit. read the operating instructions carefully and make sure to charge nicads fully. Rechargers Recharging a battery 10volves two items: a transformer and a diode rectifier. The transformer steps voltage down from 120-volt household current to the much lower voltage required by rechargeable batteries. The rattngs plate on th!l charger lists both input and output voltages. The rectifier, located either in the charger or in the appliance or tool itself, converts AC current to the DC current that batteries use. During the charging process some electricity is lost as heat, which is why chargers get warm as they operate. How long it takes to recharge bat· teries depends both on their condttion and on the amperage supplied by the charger. So-called trickle chargers work at very low amperages and may take 14to 16 hours to recharge a battery pack fully. Fast chargers usc much higher amperages and can· do the. job in as little as 15 mmutcs. To ByJOEWARD · The Loulavllle Courier-Journal LOUISVILLE. Ky. - Burley tobacco auctions across Kentucky, Indiana and other states in the Bur.·ley Belt will open Monday against a backdrop that suggests lower prices from last year's record opening of . $1.92 a pound, and some weathercaused weight and quality problems. But there are indications that fanners who take care to separate their leaf into appropriate grades · could earn a premium for such diligence. As IS always the case with a crop _ that pays the bills not only for farmers but also for bankers, merchants. implement dealers, school districts and even governments in the communities where tobacco IS king. all eyes are on those opcmng-day proccs. keep th~ batteries from overheating or even exploding, fast chargers include special sensing circuitry that prevents overheating. Make .sure the charger being used 1s compallble wtth the appliance or battery pack. Recbarg10g lipS --Don't overcharge. Don't store a battery pack or apphance in the charger all the time unless the manufacturet's instrucJions specifically recommend it. -- Usc only the charger supplied with a tool or appliance to charge its battencs. evcn•tfthe batteries fit other chargers. This ensures that the voltage and charging rate arc correci for the batteries. --Avoid short memory syndrome. If you recharge a nicad before it's fully discharged, it may stan retaining its charge for shoner and shorter periods. Before discarding a battery pack am icted with short memory syndrome, try to restore its memory. Operate the dev1ce until the battery is completely exhausted. Then recharge "'" the battery pack fully. Repeat this cycle several times. If memory doesn't improve, replace the batteries. New types of rechargeable batteries. more potent than meads and therefore not subject to short memory syndrome, arc increasingly being used in cordless equipment.

Homes: Questions and Answers By 120PULAR MECHANICS For AP Special Feature• Q: I have· leakage in my cellar between the concrete block walls and where the blocks meet the cellar Cloor Occastonally water oozes through the cellar floor ncar the block walls. I have had several quotes on waterproofing, and they all usc clay or Bcntonote injected into the ground around the exterior of the house. Some of these companies wtll give a guarantee wtth the work they do. Is thts a good procedure to follow to waterproof/ I hope to avoid cxcavatiDg outside the foundation. A: We would not recommend soil inJeCtion with a "watcr-proofong" matcnal as a method of coating the foundation walls in order to control a cellar water seepage condition To 1hc hest of our knowledge. it rarely works over the long term. Unless the foundalion IS exposed, you would not know 1f there IS anything in the ground that prevents full coverage of the wall: As an example. there may he wood dcbrts thai was buried by the huoldcr which IS covcrmg a portmn of the wall. ThiS debris would prevent the waterproofing matcnal from thor- oughly covcnng the exterior foundation surface. Over the years, the wood wi 11 rot and expose a portion of the foundation wall through which water can seep. Also. if water is scepmg into the house through the floor, watcrrrooling the walls will not correct the condition. Since you don't want to resolve th1s problem by excavatmg on the outsodc adjacent to the foundation , you can do it from within your cellar. provtded that the noor slab 1s not mtcgral wtlh the foundation footings .

Q: I've heard the term "smart hole" applied to home ventilation systems. Can you tell me what this means? A: " Sman hole" IS an example of where a humorous term replaces one that is less colorful. In thts case, ventilation designers and architects sometimes say smart hole Instead of fresh air inlet or makeup air inlet . A sman hole is a vent that allows a controlled amount of fresh air to enter a tightly-scaled. cncrgy-cllicicnt building. Why not Just open a window? That's not precise enough. Structures that arc very energy effictcnt exhaust stale indoor aor at a controlled rate and balance this with fresh outdoor air. Exhausting indoor a1r creates a negative pressure in a building (a vacuum), and a sman hole opens when its senses the pressure difference between the mstdc and outsodc. Some smart holes open in response to indoor humidity. The sman hole itself is hox or pipe' shaped.

This year's crop suffered from wet weather in the sprin~ . which delayed planting of about half the seedlings, and dry weather through July, which threatened to kill off what did get planted.

The "settlement" between the tobacco companies and the attorneys general of 26 states has dominated tobacco talk since Ia<~ summer. It has some ·poccntial to drastically alter tobacco production. and so far there is nothing in 11 to help people who grow tohacco. though politic tans arc working on that.
