While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states -- at least in getting people off welfare. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994.
In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $ 6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent -- twice the national average.

Some say that nothing is more vivid or memorable than a picture. We disagree. No visual image is as vivid as the image created by the mind in response to words. The main function of the poet or the artist, in fact, is to enable people to see more deeply into things than they can with the unaided eye, and this is what good prose or poetry or painting is all about.
It is not true that one picture is worth a thousand words. It takes only a few words if they are the right words-to ignite the imagination and produce picture far more colorful than anything within the range of electronic communication.
