"That's like saying is it tough going to the golf course or is it tough going fishing? I love It so much. I love to drive a race car. I love to be around the garage area. I love to be around racing people. I love to be around everybody there. "Even when I missed races, I'd get down, but I'd get down on myself, not on the sport."

VIEW Special day Celebrating the Mini-Relay one · for English on your telephone, and so on. We are all impacted by this colossal mess, but divided as to how to deal with it. The hard-line anti-immigration people want the illegals out. They broke the law; they must go. Many liberal Americans want compassion. The illegals are poor; let them stay. And the great middle watches the ping-pong game of charges and countercharges. The result: Nothing is getting done. So here is my no spin immigration plan, which, I believe, is fair and would be acceptable to most Americans. First, the southern border must be P.rotected by at least 700 miles of barrier, backed up by a doubling of the Border Patrol. To assist those federal agents, 10,000 National Guard would be stationed near the border. Obituaries That would effectively close the border to smugglers of humans and drugs. If you oppose that strategy, you do not want a secure border. Period. Second, all illegal aliens currently in the USA must register at their· local post · office with Homeland Security. If they do not register, they would be subject to immediate deportation. After processi ng by the feds, the aliens would then receive a · tamper-proof identification card, allowing t.hem to temporarily work here. Third, any business that hires aliens who do not have the governmentissued JD would be criminally charged. · Fourth, all registered illegal aliens would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Those deemed by federal authorities to be self-sufficient, law-abiding people would receive the so-called "Z- Visas," giving them resident status but not automatic citizenship. That would have to be earned over a number of years by complying with a set of obligaiions, including paying fines . and back taxes, learning English and staying employed.

The Netherlands is beau-tiful, and the Dutch are a friendly, funny, low-key people wh<_Q are not opposed to oeer. As a bonus, everybody in the Netherlands, including dogs, speaks English more fluently than, for example, Dan Quayle. This is a good thing, because ' the Dutch language has some kind of design problem, such that when Dutch people pronounce the letter "g," which appears three or four times in the average Dutch word, they sound as though they are hawking up a too. gie the size of a cocker spaniel. ~lso, many Dutch words are too long to be safely pronqunced by amateurs. For example, if you tried to say the Dutch word for "youth hostel warden," which is "jeugdherbergbeheerder," you'd run out of _oxygen somewhere around the 15th syllable and fall into a canal. USEFUL FACT FOR TRAVELERS: The Dutch term for. "skee ball" is "skee ball." The Dutch 'unit· of currency is the "guilder," which you obtain by going to one of the many moneychanging places found all over Europe, surrounded by Americans who have given valuable American money to the person in the booth and now are looking with alarm at colorful, odd-sized pieces of paper that for all they know are cereal coupons that the person in the booth has given them as a pran.k. Once you change ·your money, it's time to see the country. The best way to see afty foreign country is to get on· a bus filled with other tourists and be driven to a castle, cathedral or other Famous Historic Thing, which you 'II recognize by the fact that it's sur' rounded by a rumbling herd of tour buses. Then you get out of four bus, take a photo o yourself standing in front of the Famous Historic Thing, buy souvenirs, consume snacks and use the scary foreign toilets. Also, if you have tim!!, you should read the plaque explaining that the Historic Thing was constructed in 1158 and went through many historic events before burning to the ground in 1953, to be replaced by the Authentic Reconstruction that you are looking at now. · In .the Netherlands, I joined a tour group going to see the famous cheese market in Alkmaar, a picturesque city where the Dutch market cheese in a historic and ·photogenic Largest inland lake troubled despite cleanup efforts way.

It's a tour-group thing. We also visited a cheesemaker, where a woman in an authentic Dutch cos. tume that nobody in the Netherlands actually wears explained how to make cheese.

Mercer County took in $347 million in agricultural sales - most in the state in 2004, mainly because of livestock farms in the 171square-mile watershed. However, tourism is taking hold, with hotel guests alone spending an estimated $51 million in 2006- a record,- said Donna Grube of the Auglaize and Mercer Counties Convention and Visitors Bureau·. Growth in the tourism area is tied to the lake's health, but farml.and is going for as much as $8,000 an acre in the watershed, making many farmers unwilling to take any land along waterways out of production for conservation.

Today I present Part One of my two-part report on this year's mission, which took me to the Netherlands, which some · people call "Holland," or, if they are liery lost, "Czechoslovakia." At one time, large areas of . the Netherlands were actually covered by the sea, but over the centuries the hardworking Dutch have turned these areas into dry land. How did they do this? By stealing chunks of other countries. Groups of Dutch persons, posing as tourists, would travel abroad and return with large suitcases filled with din, which they would use to form Netherlands (literally, "dirt piles"). B.y the time the rest of the world realized what was happening, the nation of Luxembourg, which at one .time was larger than Germany, had shrunk to the siit< of a volleyball court, which it remains to this day. No, I'm kidding. The Dutch actually drained the water off the Netherlands by building a very clever network , of canals and dikes, which today ar~ held fum!Y. in place by roughly 23 million cows.

Having a caring father in one's life is not only one of life's great joys, but al so crucially important to a child's development. And don 't forget about the father of your best friend who showed you how to ride a bike, the teacher at school who helped you develop an interest in history or the uncle who encouraged your musical talent. Please take the time today to let them know you remember and are .grateful. Here is one of our favorite pieces. We hope you enjoy tt as much as we do: What Are Fathers Made Or? By Paul Harvey . . A father ·is a thing that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic. A father is a thing that growls when it feels goodand laughs very loud when it's scared half to death. A father never feels entirely worthy of the worship in a child's eyes. He'·s never quite the hero his · daughter thinks, never quite the man his son believes him to be - and this worries him, sometimes. So he works too hard to try and smooth the rough places in the road for those of his own who will follow him. A father is a thing that gets very angry when the first school grades aren't as good as he thinks they should be. He scolds his son though he knows it's the teacher's fault. · Fathers are what give daughters away to other . men who aren't nearly good enough so they can have grandchildren who are smarter than anybody's. Fathers make bets with insurance companies about who'll live the longest. Though they know the odds, they keep right on betting. And one day they lose. · I don' t know where fathers go when they die. Btit I've an idea that after a good rest, wherever it is, he won't be happy unless there's work to do. He won't just sit on a cloud and wait for the girl he's loved and the children she bore. He' II be' busy there.• too, repairing the stairs, oiling the gates, improving the streets, smoothing the way. Dear Annie; I hope you will put a Father 's Day message in your column for adult children who • are estranged from their fathers. So many children of divorce in today:s society have been programmed by their mothers to think their fatl\er is terrible, and the children choose to stop contact with their fathers when they become adults. They have been so influenced by their mothers' views that they have not honestly evaluated the tyr.= of relationship they had wtth their father as they were growing up. Ask these children to remember what their father did for them during their childhood; did he take them everywhere, teach them to scuba and ski, support themeven if he worked two jobs . and often went without sleep to be with them? Did he try to have a positive influence on his children's lives? These fathers are getting older and will die someday. Will these children feel good about how they treated their fathers? Thanks for listening. - Father Who Doesn't Know · What He Did Wrong Dear Father: We know divorce can create difficulty in the relationships with the children, especially if there is no joint custody and one parent sees the children much less often than the other. Too often, divorced parents cannot separate !hell" anger and bitterness from the child's best interests, and actively foster an estrangement that oruy harms the child. The important thing to remember is not to give up on your children because the ex makes contact difficult. They need to know you will keep making the effoit. to see them, because to those children, it means you love them, and they will not forget it. · The cast of "Steel Magnolias" at the Ariei·Dater · · Performing Arts Centre share a coy conversation at the oeauty shop during rehearsals. .Clockwise from top left are, Lesa Lemley as Clairee, Kathy Peterson as Truvy, Chelsea Lemley as Anel le, Kim Vanco as Ouiser, Angela Tilley as M'Lynn and Brandy Barkey as Shelby.

Ramon ·Vazquez also homered for the Rangers, and David Ross and Adam Dunn homered off Vicente Padilla {3-8), who got his first road win. Eric Gagne retired the side in the ninth and remained perfect in seven save chances th1s season. The interleague game united two of baseball's most accompli shed home run hitters - Sosa and Griffey - and two of its worst teams. The Rangers hav e the American League's worst. record at 25-42, while the Reds are at the bottom of the National League at 26-42.

Brown feels the superstar forward, who becam~ a · father for the second time on Thursday, will be fueled by hi s sub-par finals showing. "He knows he can play better than that·, and he know s he can get better," Brown said. "He's a guy who doesn't like to fail and doesn't like to lose. He doesn't like second place- or anything worse - and that in itself is motivating enough for him to say, 'There are some things that I need to work on in order to help my team reach the ultimate goal, to win a championship."' James needs more help to get one. For all that went right for the Cavs this season, th ey remain a work in progress . Their lack of a true point guard - a problem spanning se veral seasons - was evident in their inability to .push the tempo. It was only when Larry Hughes moved .over from shooting guard that Cleveland's offense began to click. But a painful foot injury slowed Hughes in the playoffs and eventually sidelined him for Games 3 and 4 in the finals. A solid defender, the 28-yeaPold hasn't been the offensive complementary piece for James that Cleveland thought it was getting when they signed him to a five-year, $60 million free agent contract in 2005. "I think his role has continued to evolve," general manager Danny Ferry said. "I think we're still learning how to use him, We ended up moving him \O point guard and he was effective there. Those are the decisions we have to look at and decide on which direction to go with him and how he plays for us going forward." Ferry tried to acquire Sacramento point guard Mike Bibby before the trading deadline in February, but couldn't get a deal done. He may revisit that this summer or look at the free -agent market for help. The Cavs, who don't have a draft pick either, will enter free agency in July hoping they can keep forward Anderson Varejao and swingman Sasha Pavlovic, both restricted free agents. Cleveland will be able to match any offers for the two from other .d ubs, but already over the salary cap, the Cavs are limited in what they can : spend. "We want both of them back ," Ferry said . "I would · imagine there will be interest in both guys. They are both talented players that would be attractive to other-s." Almost by himself, James has made Cleveland an attractive destination for free agents. In· getting the Cavaliers to the finals, he showed that it's not all hype, that he's capable of carrying a team to the brink of a championship. He gave Cleveland's ego and economy a .boost, and had the city believing the 43-year championship drought would finally end. The Spurs, though, proved to be too much for him for now. His time will come. "I think this experience for LeBron in the playoffs was unbelievable," Ferry said. "You really saw him improve in tht< Detroit series, just in how he saw the game and the pace he played. His growth in that series was impressive. "As a team we didn't play well against the Spurs. It wasn '.t him it was all of us, and that's · the next level of growth." with assault, conspiracy and other charge~ .

But lawyers for the customers said the rapper knew some of Iverson's security detail and could testify at trial about their behavior. "They worked together previous occasions," attortive. Now I feel it's all coming back together." Freel will be limited to riding the bike for now. There is no timetable for when he can resume more strenuous activity or start swinging a bat. ''The doctors and the trainers and everybody is telling me that you've got to be smart about it," Freel said. "I feel good. I'm not really worried about it at this point." Freel has · stubbornly refused to change his fanpleasing <style. He dived for a ball on the warning track with a week left in spring . training, giving the team a fright. He also has repeatedIy dived into the stands for foul balls during the season.

The USGA said ir would water the greens overnight, but with more sunshine in the forecast, Oakmont figures to get even more brutaL Stephen Ames had the other subpar round (69). leaving him at 142 along with Aaron Baddeley (70), Justin Rose (71) and Niclas Fasth (71 ). Casey was at 143, with David Toms in the group another shot behind. The USGA, as usual, offered no apologies. "It's a hard golf course. We've said that all along," said Jim Hyler, head of the championship committee for the USGA. Mickelson wasn't the only one checking out. Five of the top 10 players in the world ranking .failed to make the cut, the others being Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson, Luke Donald and Retief Goosen. Trevor Immelman leaned against a wall in the locker room after a 79 that eventually sent him home. ·He stared blankly at the television, watching other players suffer, trying to come to grips with how Casey posted five birdies and only one bogey. "The greatest· round I've ever seen in my life," said Immelman, who . played with the Englishman. "He beat me by 13 shots. That's almost giving him one shot per hole." . Casey didn't exactly have his way with Oakmont. He birdied the two toughest holes in the second round, including a 4S-foot putt on the treacherous IOth green. And he saved a couple of . pars with putts that felt as though they would slide off the green if the hole didn't happen to get in the way. "I know the scores are quite high today and I shot a low number," Casey said. ."But I don' t think we've seen half of Oakmont yet."

Watson, the biggest hitter on the PGA Tour who is using several irons to k.eep the ball in play, is playing in his first U.S. Open and hasn't won . anything since the Hooters Tour four years ago. Along with a ~hallenging course, they now must cope with the nerves of playing in the last group on the weekend at a major. ''I'm always ·nervous," Watson said.

Defending champion Geoff Ogilvy shot a 75 and was still in the game at 146, but it sure didn't feel like it. "You're satisfied when you look back on it and see that you did it better than anybody else," he said. "But fun ? No." David Toms had a share of the lead for the second straight day, but like so many other players, Oakmont eventually got the best of him. He bogeyed five of his last six holes Thursday, and played his last five holes Friday in 4 over par. Even so, he was a1 144, along with Scott Verplank (71) and Brandt Snedeker (73). "They teased us yesterday with some of the easy pin position s, and today when you woke up, they let you know we 're at Oakmont," Snedeker said. "It's just going to be a tough round of golf." Woods figured that out when he started to hit his tee shots into the ankledeep rough, and it really hit home when his approach landed on the fron~ · part of the first green and never had a chance to go anywhere but into the rough. "Thank God I had spikes on, because I think I would have slipped right off the back," he said. His ugliest hole saved his round - an iron he pulled into the rough, a second shot that caromed off the bank and into the bottom of a shallow ditch, a third shot into a bunker on the other side of the green, and an up-and-down for bogey. It is days like this that make players · wonder whether the U.S. Open is any fun or the course is fair. "It's a mean course," Jim Furyk said after a 75 put him at 6-·over 146.

Breaking down in tears at his ethics trial, Mike Nifong abruptly quit as, distri ct attorney Friday after admitting he got "carried away" with statements duri"ng his di scredited rape prosecution · of three Duke University lacrosse players. Catching even his attorneys by surpri se, Nifong said he would resign and .regretted making improper sJatements about the players. "My community has suffered enough," Nifong said at his trial on allegations that he violated rules of professional conduct. State prosecutors . who took over the case have declared the players innocent. The North Carolina State Bar alleges Nifong withheld DNA test re sults from the players' defense attorneys, lied to the court and bar investigators and made misleading and inflammatory ·comments about the three athletes who 'd been charged with raping a stripper at a team party in March 2006 . .. Nifong said he wanted to own up to his mistakes, but that he did not make all the mistakes alleged by the bar. "I will go to my grave being associated with this case. And that's OK," Nifong said. "Whatever mistakes I made in this case were my mistakes. But they're not all the ones that the bar says I made, but they are my mistakes." Nifong 's soft-spoken statements were barely audible in the courtroom, where observers leaned forward in their chairs as they struggled to hear him through his tears. The families of players Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans watched with little emotion, artd Evans' attomey-rejec.ted er Friday.

In it, he apologized, but only "to the extent that l made judgments ·that ultimately proved to be incorrect." North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper, who in April said the three athletes were "innocent" victims of a rogue prosecutor 's "tragic rush to accuse," declined to comment. Gov. Mike Easley, who appointed ER Sunday, June 17, 2007 Nifong to the. job and will be called on to pick his replacement, also had no comment, a spokeswoman said.

SS,HS WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Colonial Williamsburg is more than costumed interpreters in iricom hats making speeches about revolution or ·craftsmen demonstrating silversmithing and other trades. The restored 18th-century capital ·of Virginia also features the nation's first folk art museum; now in a new, more prominent and roomier home. The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum reopened earlier this year after being closed during a two-year, $6.1 million expansion project that gave it II galleries in · 11,200 square feet of exhibition space that can · be adjusted to mount a · wide range of exhibitions. . Its former location had· 10,800 square feet of exhibition space divided among small, cutup room s. making it much less flexible . That Georgian Revival building now houses a spa. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, a driving force. in the founding of the Museum of Modem Art in New York, was one of the first collectors of folk art. She began buying work froni non-academically trained artists in the early 20th century, when folk art was considered beneath collectors' notice , said Ronald L. Hurst, Colonial Williamsburg's vice president for collections and museums. She gave her 424-piece collection to Colonial Williamsburg in the 1930s. Her husband, John D. Rockefeller Jr. , was principal benefactor in the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg, and she saw folk art "as a complement to what was gfling on here," Hurst said. · Mrs. Rockefeller died in 1948, and her husband bui It the . .folk art museum to honor her. It opened in 1957 in what was then a state-ofthe-art facility. Five decades later, change was sorely needed. The small rooms couldn't accommodate large exhibits and the fluorescent lighting made paintings look washed out. And attendance had fallen as fewer people were •• willing to make the trek to the museum , two blocks away from Colonial Williamsburg 's Historic Area, Hurst said . The new museum was built in what had been a waited outdoor garden adjoining the De Witt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, one of Colonial Williamsburg's more popular offerings. The DeWitt museum is close to the Historic Area and to the downtown Wi11iamsburg shopping district, Merchants Square. A roof was added to the 12-foot-higiJ brick wall and ihtemal structures were built on top of foundations already in place; the architectural shell had been built 20 years earlier with the intention tl;lat it would someday become a museum space. The new space has more vibrant paint colors on the walls and better lighting that makes the artworks glow. ln one room featuring ·landscapes ·and cityscapes, louvers on the windows · adjust automatically to retain the ambiance of nat. ural light.

Ohio Methodists enjoyed Gallipolis conference BY JAMES SANDS "The Ohio Conference .(Methodist Church) convened to hold its forty-ninth session in Gallipolis, 0. , September 19. 1860. Many of the preachers were much disappointed in reference to · this 'city of Gauls.' They expected to find an old dilapidated town on some hill-side, or on some narrow plain, hemmed in by hills. and overshadowed by r0cks. But, behold! A beautiful city of three thousand inhabitants, on one of the most beautiful plains on the Ohio River, in a thriving condition. with many fine. business houses and handsome residences. The riv er being in an unusually fine stage of water for the season, the place was easy ·of access, and many of the preachers were heart to say that they had not had for years a more pleasant trip to the seat of conference'" . "Such crowds at our annual gathering we never saw before. Not less than four thousand people listened to the soul-stirring truths of the Gospel as they fell from the lips of Bishop Simpson on Sabbath morning." So stated the Western Christian Advocate newspaper a few days after the close of the above annual conference. 11 was the tirst time that Gallipolis had hosted the event and many of the meetings were held in an orchard which stood between Grape Street and Vine Street and along what is now Fourth Avenue. In 1860,- Fourth Avenue did not run betwee n Grape and Vine. One minister who was. there that Sabbath remem· bered Bishop Simpson telling the young ministerial student s, " Do not marry until you have completed your conference studie s. The angels will not all fly away before that time." That minister remembered an' apple falling on someone's head during the sermon. Ordained at the conference was Charles McCabe, who during the Civil War as the "singing chaplain," helped popularize the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Bishop. Matthew Simpson became famous during the Civil War as the Lincoln family's great friend. It was Simpson who gave the sermon on the occasion of Lincoln's second inaugural. He also preached the sermon in Springfield, Ill. . when Lincoln was buried. And he presided at the wedding of Robert Todd Lincoln in 1868. Simpson 's stamina 10 being able to preach out· doors was amazing, as just two years before that Simpson had contemplated his own demise as he was se riously ill for two years. Simpson, in hi s letters, related how so many of his schoolmates had already passed o.n even before age 50. Simpson was 47 when his illness hit him. He said once . about his death, "A few hearts will bleed, a few eyes will weep and then all would be as though I had never been." But Simpson rallied. It may well ha ve been Simpson's brush with death that attracted him to Lincoln, who because of his constant melancholy, often thought about hi s own passing. The Western Chri-stian Advocate further reported in that 1860 piece. "The conference closed on Monday night. Not less, perhaps, than three thousand people were assembled in the lamp-lighted orchard to hear the appointments and di sa~poin tm ents. The journal was read , the memoir of Father Jacob Young was read and the remaining business was complet~d . Bishop Simpson addressed the preachers and audience with great pathos and . power. The deep emotions of many hearts were stirred. The · Bishop reminded us that we were entering upon the fifti@th year of the existence of the Ohio conference-tlie year of Jubilee and devoutly prayed that it might be a year of great joy and triumph." There was certain tension in the 1860 conference as most people realized that the country might be headed toward Civil War. That may be why the emotions ran so high. It was five years later at Lincoln 's burial that Simpson said those famous words, "Chieftain, farewell. The nation mourns thee. Mothers shall teach they name to their lisping children, the youth of our land shall emulate they virtues and statesm~n shall study thy record and from it learn the lessons of wisdom. We crown thee as our martyr and hu(llilnity enthrones thee as her triumphant ·son. Hero, Martyr, Friend, farewell. " , Bishop Simpson ca me· back to Gallipolis in 1879 when the Ohio Conference made its second appeamnce in the Old French City.

Maybe there is such a marked contrast betwee n these women and those in A Tho!!sand Splendid Suns wh ich make Dream.. . so trivial.

His only friend, Josie, is the daughter of a woman judge. and Josie has her own issues searching for her father, a married professor who chose . not to divorce Iiis wife to marry his pregnant student. Josie and Peter are close as children, but she ignores him after becoming the girlfriend of an athlete. Peter matches the profile of a school shooter - a loner, picked-on target of jokes and barbs, who finds high school a miserable prison. . Some find a haven in high school; there are others who dread every single day of it. During the 27 years I worked in hi gh sc hool s, I saw both sides .of the daily drama.

The writer understands the high school dynamic, and the book gives us a reason, not an excuse for the massacre. You may find yourself or your children in this story. You will be touched by the anguish of Peter's parents, an economics professor and a midwife. They mull over memories wondering what they did wrong. How would you feel if your son became a killer? I fust became interested in sociology in high school, when Ross Fleming, our teacher, asked us to place ourselves in a social class. There was a recent documentary on PBS about social class in America. It featured a woman from Waverly, Ohio, who lived in a run-down trailer, far from town. She works at Burger King and walks over I 0 miles to work and back. She has four children, and her oldest son is ashamed of her. He wants to attend Shawnee State or Hocking Tech and get out of poverty. I hope he makes it.

AUIDta's new World OlCoca-Cola, city's newest draw Bv DANIEL VEE. ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ATLANTA - At the new World of Coca-Cola, Joan Crawford and ClaiR Gable greet visitors from a 74year,old advertisement. A 3-D movie ride takes audiences on a journey to find the secret recipe of one of the world's most popular drinks. A nearby bottling line fills keepsake bottles · before visitors' eyes .. The nearly $100 million museum, which opened May 24, is the latest attraction in the tourism and development boom of Georgia's capital · city, following the September birth of Zoo Atlanta's new panda, the High Museum of Art's unique exhibit of works from the Louvre and the late 2005 opening of the world's largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, next door to the new World of Coca-Cola. Also nearby are CNN's headquarters and the Georgia Dome. "It's making a new epicenter for tourism in Atlanta," said Jeff Swanagan, executive director of the aquarium. "Maybe we're not yet Orlando or Las Vegas, but we' ve certainly moved things up several notches." What's getting Atlanta tourism officials excited is that the new Coke museum is expected to draw about 1.2 million visitors in its first year and businesses have been working with the museum on packages to link attractions and services together. "Atlanta just continues to have a lot of momentum and is growing as a tourist destination," said Spurgeon .Richards<;m, president and CEO of the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau. "We've got an · awful lot of product here. We need to do a better job of telling our story of all the things we have to see and do in this city." · The Omni Hotel at CNN Center is , preparing hotel packages with the new museum, which is only a shan walk away, based on the hotel's success with packages related to the Georgia Aquarium. :·we really anticipate that the new . World of Coca-Cola is going to be incredibly successful," hotel spokeswoman Kimberly Murdock said. "When people think of Atlanta, they. may think of civil rights or the Atlanta Braves, but the one thing everyone thinks of Atlanta is Coca-Cola." The new museum is about twice the size of the beverage company's former museum, which was built in 1'990 and located about a mile away, next .to the Georgia Capitol building. That museum closed April 17 and drew a total of about 13 million visitors in 17 years. 1\'s also more expensive - adult tickets are $15, ·compared to $9 at the original museum. (Tickets are now $13 and $9 respCCiively for $eniors and children, although there's a $1 discount for online purchases). Yet Coke officials say the cost reflects more to see and do at the new museum, including more than 1,100 Coke artifacts -never exhibited -before. Only about 60 ani facts in the new museum were brought over from !he old museum. Among the new items to see are an 1890s marble-and-onyx Coca-Cola soda fountain recovered from a shop in Toomsboro, Ga., a 1939 distribu- tor's truck from Argentina_, and the Coca-Cola couch from the popular TV show "American Idol."
