We would also like to thank the community for its overwhelming support. Approximately 700 people pme out on a blustery winter night to hear the life story of nationally known Evangel isI David Ring. People from many different churches and many different cities laughed one minute and cried the next as th~y heard the touching life story of David Ring, and how he went from a cerebral palsy victim to a cerebral palsy victor thro~gh Jesus Christ. There were people there from Oak Hill and Marietta, Ohio, to Spencer, W.Va., who traveled to Meigs County to hear him speak. When they heard his story and message of inspiration and hope through Jesus Christ, many went to the front of the auditorium to commit their lives and draw closer to God.

After chores and breakfast, you went to the field for the remainder of the day. Mowing hay was one of !he first jobs a kid was allowed to perform with horse-drawn equipment. Once a field was broken into, the team knew and did what was required. About all that was required of the kid was that he had enough lead in his britches to rai se the sickle bar about a foot when making the turn at the end of the field . After the excitement of doing your first man ·s job wore off, you napped on the st.raight-aways.

And how come the same guy was somehow capable, at age 7, of committing himself to a lifelong, passionate, win-or-lose relationship with the Kansas City Royals, who have never so much as sent him a card? I bring this issue up because of a letter I received from a woman named Suzanne. who's in love with a jlUY named Gary.

They had less of a:n incentive to initiate talks now because they are not due to be paid again until next season . All previous offers were off the table, including the league's decision to drop its demand for cost cenainty and the union's willingness to accept a salary cap in return. · "Obviously, we need to cover some various concepts," Goodenow said. "Whatever either side thinks would be pertinent, and .would help ·the process, .should be raised." · By many accounts, these talks were back at the square one stage. "1 wouldn't even want to characterize it," Goodenow said. "I think we just talked about where we are. We didn't get' into any specifics."

He gets a little embarrassed when reminded that hi s older brother, reigning NASCAR Nextel Cup champion Kurt B4sch, gives him credit as the better driver of the two. "It's definitely cool that a Nextel Cup champion tell s you that or says that to the media, but I just have to go out and prove it," said the 19year-old, who will race in Sunday 's UAWDaimlerChrysler 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway,' his hometown track . The teenager did win hi s first Cup pole two weeks ago in California - becoming the youngest ever to do that. But Busch has yet to show the kind of racing prowess in .NASCAR 's top series that brother Kurt .demonstrated and has forecast for his younger sibling. In six Cup races last year, Kyle managed no tinish higher than 24th . His two starts so far in his official rookie season have produced finishes of 38th at Daytona .and 23rd in California. Nobody should get too down on the kid, though. He's definitely got the makings of a very big star. In 2001 - his junior year in high , school - the Vegas native drove in six NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races for Roush Racing and had a pair of top 10 finishes. He got sidelined briefly and Hendrick Motorspo~ts subsequently took advaqtage of a contract glitch to steal him awaY. from Roush - when NASCAR made a rule limiting participation to drivers at least . 18.

When he can ' t sleep, Wallace .stares at the ceiling in the middle of the night thinking about things he did it~ the past, or what he'll do when he's not racing 10 months a year. "I'm aU over," he said of his thoughts. "Honestly, I'm not content at all ." · But the 48-year-old Wallace is sure about one .thing: He's· tired of the week-to-week grind. . "I' m retiring because I'm just burnt out in the schedule," he said. "If I get through the end of 2005, and T feel like, 'Man, I'm running 3,000 mph and now they tell me I've got to stop,' I'm probably .going to say let's run about 10 (races the next year). But for sure, my days of running the full schedule are over.'' After one more champi· onship chase, that is. Wallace began this season with a 14th-place finish at the Budweiser Shootout. His 22nd Nextel Cup campaign, which has been dubbed "Rusty's Last Call.': officially got underway with a I Oth· place tinish at the Daytona 500, the race he can't claim among his 55 wins and the one he wanted the most. "1 wanted to win this race. but that's OK ." said Wallace, who started 36th and advanced all the way to fifth before dropping back . "It really isn' t OK, but 1 told everybody if 1 didn't win, it wouldn' t be the end of the world . ... I'm done with it. I've had a lot of fun. and I enjoy it ." · · Wallace, who wrecked during Daytona quillifying and had to switch to ·his backup car, finished in the top 10 nine times in 23 Daytona 500s. His best finish in NASCAR 's most prestigious race was third in 2001. He led ·another time with 10 laps to go, and in 1993 was third "with me, Dale Jarrett and (Dale) Earnhardt going for the win" when he· was hit by another car and barrel-rolled down the backstretch: "I haven' t won the Daytona 500 and I doubt there's too. many people out there .who are not aware of that fact," said Wallace, the 1989 series champion and founh on the career earnings list with nearly $44 million . "I got close manY., many times." Sttll, his farewell season is about more than that elusi ye Daytona win. And forget nostalgia, Wallace wants to approach 2005 like any other • year. ''I'm real intent to try to win more races," he said. "I want to go out on top. I. don 't want to go out fading .... I'm going to be rockin' and rollin ' and go wide open all year." .Wallace has tinished top 10 in season points 16 times. He ended a I05-race winle ss streak last year but was still 16th. two spots lower than in 2003 when a streak of I0 straight top- I0 seasons ended. " You always hear about the importance of making first impressions." he said. "But for us, we' re determined to leave some ·great last impressions."

Not to mention more time with .his wife, Patti, playing golf and his duties as partowner of the Penske team. .

Of course, if you have already filed your taxes, April 15 is just one more day. But it's a significant date for another reason: It's the last day you can contribute to your IRA for the 2004 tax year. So, it you haven't maxed out you IRA yet, take action now. You can contribute up to $3,000 - or $3,500 if you are 50 or older to either a traditional or· Roth IRA . for 2004. (For the 2005 tax year, you can put in up to $4,000 to your IRA, or $4500 if you .are 50 or older.) Yoor traditional IRA contributions may or may not be . tax-deductible, but in any case, your earnings grow on a tax -deferred basis. Although Roth IRA contributions are not tax-deductible, your earnings will grow total ly tax-free, provided you meet certain conditions. (Keep in mind; however, that if you· take Roth or traditional IRA distributions before you reach 59-1/2, you may be subject to a I 0 percent IRA penalty, along with ordinary income taxes.) Do whatever it takes to fully fund your IRA, every single year. If you find it hard to come up with the entire amount in a lump sum, divide the contribution limit by 12 and make monthly payments. To make it even easier on· yourself, set up a bank authorization, so that the money is taken directly from your checking or savings account and placed intoyour IRA . Consider a 'rollover' You have more than one .way to fund an IRA . For example, if you are planning to leave your job, you can roll over all or part of the taxable portion nf y<mr 401 (k) distribution - pre-tax contributions, employer contributions, all earnings - into an existing traditional IRA. You can also roll over after-tax 40 I (k) salary deferrals. but transferring these after-tax contributions could lead to taxable consequences. If you roll your 40 I (k), over to a traditional IRA, you can build the value of your el(isting account, and you April .Rice can continue to make contributions. And you could eventually "convert" your traditional IRA into a tax-free Roth IRA, but you will have to pay the taxes that this conversion would trigger. When you ·roll over your 40 I (k), you will get some key advantages. First, you will avoid all immediate taxes and penalties. Seci,JOd, you will continue to benefit from tax deferral. And third, your IRA may offer more investment options than a 401 (k) plan. While a rollover from a 40 I (k) to an IRA does offer · some important benefits, it isn't your only choice when you depart a job. For example, you could leave your 40 I (k) assets wit!J your old employer, if the plan permits. Or, if you are taking a new job, you might be able to move your 40 I (k) ·assets into a new plaiJ. Also, you could just cash out your 401 (k) as a lump sum distribution, although you would likely face a big tax hit, in addition to an immediate 20 percent withholding. Before deciding what to do with your 401 (k) consult with your tax and financial professionals . Hard to 'overload' on IRAs When it comes to investing in IRAs it's hard to get too much of a good thing.

(Charlene Hoeflich is general manager of The Daily Sentinel in Pomeroy.) It was a hot Friday July day in 1945 when what is now State Route 7 through Gallia County was blocked off all day. Military personnel kept, guard on the road between Addison and Cheshire and it was like a scene out of some science fiction movie as crowds of the curious w.ere quickly disbursed. The cause for .all of this excitement was .a mysterious propulsion plane which ·was about' to take· off using State Route 7 as the runway. The mysterious plane was what we would call today a jet plane, and since it was so new, it was being viewed by the military as top secret. The plane had landed at 8 p.m. the night before on the West Virginia side of · the Ohio River. The pilot had become disoriented and actually tho'ught that he was landing somewhere near St. Louis.. Early that next morning, a barge brought the airplane . across . the· Ohio River and crowds had. started to gather immediately as Army mechanics and MPs came ·on the scene. After being taken off the barge the plane was placed so that it was facing upstream on State Route 7. Its wings were covered with canvas sheaths and the left wingtip almost reached the pavement. There; had been some damage in the landing. The Daily Tribune reporter who tried to investigate the news story wrote: "A private first class waved the newspapermen's cars on, but they parked further up beyond the state automo- bile.

CHICAGO - Eric Garcia and Manhew Kane are holed up in a classroom corner, chaning casually as they each knit· a sock for a school project. They ponder .the thought that their actions might be a little, well, unexpected. "Girls can be truckers, " says 11 -year-old Eric. "Yeah, girls can be truckers," echoes Matthew, who's also 11 and a fellow fifth-grader at Chicago's Waldon School. "So why can't guys be knitters?" Fac.t is, a lot of guys are taking up knitting, especially as the hobby surges in popularity on college campuses, in coffee shops and at the many yarn stores that are sprouting up in cities across the country. At The Wool Tree in South Luke Tahoe. Calif., co-owner Robert Lincoln says he and his wife. Bonnie, have seen more young men coming into the store to buy knitting and crocheting supplies. Many of them are snowboarders who want to make their own winter gear. "It's a little bit of a phenomenon," Robert Lincoln says. Mary-Ann Parisi says she's also had more men shopping at her store, the Knitters Niche on Chicago' s North ·Side. She figures that as .

Gallagher's · Steak House in New York City, is an IrishAmerican whose family originally hails from County Cork in Ireland. He relishes Irish lamb stew, he says, because besides the local meat it probably started with, "it is made with a bevy of the flavonul root vegetables which grow so abundantly in Ireland." And it's so easy for the home chef to make. "Once everything is on the top of the stove, it simme(s for hours, and only needs an occasional stir," Condon points out.

(AP) For years, · foresters have sought a fast growing, environmentally responsible hardwood with ·the. dual tangibles of good looks for the home and sustainable growth. They seem to have found the answer in Brazil. The ·hardwood that the industry is so soft on is a plantation-raised · eucalyptus hybrid reported to be harder than oak, maple, cherry and mahogany. It grows to maturity in roughly one-third the time .of comparable woods and after harvest continues to regenerate itself from the •. stumps and roots of the previous generation of trees. According to U.S. forest products company Weyerhaeuser, lyptus, as this hybrid is called, fills multiple roles for homeowners from flooring to banisters to cabinetry. "Everyon.e gets excited when they tirst see it," says Pete Gargano of Weyerhaeuser. He likens lyptus' natural color to cherry but with wood grain similar to mahogany. The wood can be stained for a lighter or darker appearance . ."It fills a lot of homeowner needs throughout.the house plus it's renewable. There's a lot of pluses to this '!'ood." Not the ·least of which is wood that grows and regrows on the same plot of land. The trees are ready for harvest in 14 ·to 16 years in the warm Brazilian climate, a far faster pace than comparable species, which can take 50 to 70 years in colder climes. .~.and have a.plac~ to call your own.
